London’s iconic JW Marriott Grosvenor House, a historic landmark on Park Lane, has undergone a stunning transformation. This grand dame, celebrating its 90th anniversary, has embraced a modern refresh while preserving its timeless elegance.
A Rich History, A Refreshed Look
Originally home to the Duke of Gloucester, Grosvenor House has been a beacon of sophistication since its debut in 1929. The hotel has hosted royalty, dignitaries, and celebrities, becoming a cherished social hub for decades. The recent multi-million pound renovation breathes new life into this celebrated space.
A Fusion of Heritage and Style
The renovation, a symphony of historical grandeur and contemporary flair, reimagines the ground floor with stunning Hyde Park views. The decor, a harmonious blend of neutral tones and seasonal accents, is a modern interpretation of classic British style. The original lobby fireplace, now encased in floor-to-ceiling glass, creates a seamless flow between the lobby entrance and the bright Park Room.
A Retreat Inspired by Hyde Park
The hotel’s elegant hallways, adorned with delicate foliage patterns, whisper of the nearby Hyde Park. Guest rooms evoke autumnal hues, with rich golden leaf motifs gracing soft grey carpets. The two Royal Suites, a haven of comfort and luxury, offer a full home-away-from-home experience.
