Perched beside Hyde Park in England’s capital, Royal Lancaster London has been a landmark since the Swinging Sixties. Designed in a distinctive tower by the late architect Richard Seifert, the hotel combines Mid‑Century style with contemporary comforts across 411 rooms and suites, offering a refined base for exploring the city.
For a truly memorable stay, choose the spacious Lancaster Suite. Overlooking the Italian Gardens and Tazza Fountains, the suite greets you with fresh flowers and chilled Champagne. The 743‑square‑foot layout features sea‑blue velvet seating, a generous dining area, and a large bedroom framed by expansive windows that flood the space with natural light.

The suite’s shelves hold art and books focused on London, while the bedroom offers a king‑sized bed dressed in luxury linens. In‑room amenities include a Nespresso machine, electric kettle, minibar and a large dining table beneath a statement chandelier—ideal for meals or work.
Bathrooms are elegantly appointed with a deep‑soaking tub, walk‑in shower, double vanity and heated floors, plus plush robes, slippers and White Company toiletries. Large wardrobes contain a safe, iron and ironing board, a yoga mat and a shoe‑shine kit. Practical touches—such as a desk and chair, complimentary high‑speed Wi‑Fi and multinational plug sockets—make the suite well suited to both leisure and business travellers.

Dining options at the hotel are varied and carefully curated. Nipa Thai presents authentic Thai cuisine from award‑winning Head Chef Sanguan Parr and her all‑female kitchen team, with curries, stir‑fried dishes, rice, noodles and set menus inspired by Thai cities. For international fare with a view, Tony Page at Island Grill serves dishes like herb‑crusted British lamb and Dukka‑spiced aubergine on a heated terrace overlooking the Italian Gardens.
For lighter bites, the Park Lounge Bar offers a relaxed spot for hot drinks, beers, ciders, wines and crafted cocktails—try a blueberry lavender mojito or a Yellow Submarine featuring Grey Goose Vodka, St. Germain and tropical juices. Afternoon tea at Hyde Café is presented with delicate pastries, freshly baked scones with jam and clotted cream, and an assortment of dainty sandwiches displayed on elegant trays.

Breakfast at the Park Restaurant is a highlight: a generous buffet offers bespoke granola, made‑to‑order egg dishes such as eggs Florentine, sweet pastries, yogurts, fresh fruit and charcuterie. The hotel even features rooftop hives, and the honey collected from bees that frequent Hyde Park’s lime trees lends a distinctive flavour—excellent when drizzled over a warm croissant.
Guests can enhance their stay with in‑room massages or spa treatments, work out in the fully equipped 24‑hour gym, or borrow a hotel bicycle for a ride through Hyde Park. The attentive staff are on hand to arrange activities and provide local recommendations. Royal Lancaster London is conveniently located on Lancaster Terrace, just around the corner from Lancaster Gate underground station, making it an excellent choice for discovering the best of London.
