If you're looking for somewhere special to spend a day, a weekend or a few days, then the InterContinental London Park Lane is tough to beat. On the site of Queen Elizabeth II’s former childhood residence, it's luxury all the way, with rooms and suites that are at once contemporary and classic with chic colours and sleek finishes.
The views overlooking the Royal Parks, and Hyde Park in particular, really add to the sense of beauty at this hotel. A wonderful addition for a wellbeing-supporting stroll, they also offer a wealth of history - iconic locations to enjoy as part of your stay.
Theo Randall at The InterContinental is the hotel's main restaurant, named for the Michelin star chef who oversees its Italian-inspired menu. Alongside it, you will find the relaxed THEO’s on the Terrace, as well as the refined Arch Bar for coffee, champagne and drinks overlooking Green Park. Meanwhile, The Wellington Lounge is where you can enjoy morning coffee and pastries and a famously good afternoon tea.
It's fitting of course that this achingly beautiful hotel is also home to a haven of wellbeing. Feeling a world away from the city outside, the fitness centre on the first floor has a 24-hour gym including a range cardio, resistance and free-weight equipment as well as space to practice yoga or Pilates. While there aren't any wet facilities, the wellness experience is compounded by those aforementioned parks offering biophilic beauty right outside the door.
The Spa InterContinental is the cherry on top of the hotel's offering, dedicated to spa therapies from the decadent La Sultane de Saba, award-winning Aromatherapy Associates and Mayfair's specialist grooming experts, The Refinery. Enjoy healing sound baths, transformative meditation and luxurious face and body therapies from those dedicated to self-care and those made to be shared.
