Hyde Park Corner
VIBE
Elegantly conservative, smaller hotel. The dark wood décor and trim throughout the hotel creates an austere ambiance. Guests trend slightly older and are business travelers or wealthy tourists.
GO HERE WITH
Your parents or significant other. Or come with your friends for a truly lavish getaway.
WHY WE LIKE IT
The concept is each guest is being invited into a private home. What does this mean in practice? Ridiculously fantastic complimentary amenities for each room including private butlers, Sony VAIO laptops, and daily fresh fruit, to name a few.
AMENITY WE LOVE
If we had to choose just one, it’d have to be the personal butlers. Where else are you going to have someone waiting to take care of your needs 24/7? (Trust us, you get over any hang-ups pretty quickly.)
WHAT WE WOULD CHANGE
Entrance to hotel is also the corner of the road across from Hyde Park, and the foot and car traffic immediately outside the hotel is heavy.
GOOD TO KNOW
Part of the Starwood/St. Regis group but does not participate in Starwood points.
