The Royal Park Hotel Description:
The Royal Park is in Westbourne Terrace, once described as 'quite the finest street in London', and sits just on the north side of Hyde Park.
It is made up of three Grade II listed houses, carefully restored to their 1840s splendour to form a fine London townhouse hotel. Walls are painted in striking Regency hues and are hung with original paintings and fine prints. There are carefully selected antiques throughout the building, hand-embroidered linen fabrics and a unique 19th-century gasolier graces the reception area, giving the air of a fresh, light-filled home in one of the most accessible parts of the capital.
Accommodation and Service:
Every bedroom has a particular character, some with elegant French windows and balconies, others with wonderful views over London rooftops and church spires, and some with adjoining sitting rooms.
The canopied mahogany four-poster and half-tester beds have white linen bed hangings and the very best hand-made mattresses covered with crisp cotton sheets, soft Welsh woollen blankets and fine feather pillows.
The traditional bathrooms have plush white towels and monogrammed cotton bathrobes and slippers - with the power shower providing a reviving blast after a hard day's work, shopping or sightseeing.
Location:
The Royal Park hotel is just a two-minute walk from Lancaster Gate Underground station on the Central Line, offering easy access to London's West End and the City. Paddington main-line station is also within easy walking distance of the hotel and provides a direct 15-minute link to London's main airport, Heathrow Airport, on the Heathrow Express. Paddington also takes you further afield to Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon, the Cotswolds, Bristol, Wales and the West Country.
The Royal Park benefits from a very central London location with excellent transport links and is ideally placed to enjoy and explore all the best that London has to offer.
Hyde Park is just a stroll away from the hotel and is a wonderful place for jogging or walking. It is the largest of the royal parks in central London and dates back to the reign of Henry VIII, who used it as a hunting ground. Here you will find the famous statue of Peter Pan, the Serpentine lake, a great favourite for boating, and the Diana Memorial Gardens (dedicated to the memory of Diana, Princess of Wales).
Exclusive London shopping is just across Hyde Park in Mayfair and Knightsbridge where shops such as Harrods and Harvey Nichols can be found as well as the Royal Albert Hall, the Science Museum, one of London's most hands-on museums, the Natural History Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Similarly, whilst enjoying the calm of The Royal Park, the hotel is only a short distance from the theatres, bars and sights of London's West End. In the other direction is Notting Hill, with its many designer and eclectic boutiques, and on Saturdays you can stroll around the famous Portobello antiques market.
