Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane had debuted on the site of the original Four Seasons Inn on the Park, the company’s first European hotel. Reardon Smith Architects and Pierre-Yves Rochon have crafted a property inspired by the golden age of travel of the 1930s.
The 192 guestrooms focus on smart design, with an ergonomic chair at an extra large desktop, power supply that’s adaptable to European and North American voltages, and in-room safes that have power outlets for charging laptops while they’re stowed away.
Meanwhile, guests can stay in one of three suite types. Conservatories feature private enclosed terraces off an indoor living area, evoking the atmosphere of a chic urban apartment. The one- or two-bedroom Grand Suites include both a conservatory and wide outdoor terrace, as well as dining area and a fireplace in the living area. The Garden Suite features a 646-square-foot landscaped terrace overlooking Hyde Park, plus a separate dining room and butler’s pantry.
Amaranto, the hotel’s main dining venue, is a series of three flow-through spaces that offer an airy conservatory space and private garden for outdoor seating, a more clubby lounge area including an innovative peek-through wine wall that allows guests to follow sommeliers in action, and a soaring atrium highlighted by a hand-molded sculpture wall with motifs inspired by nearby Hyde Park.
Coming soon is an expansive rooftop spa, designed by Eric Parry Architects. Guests are greeted by a bright and airy reception area, while treatment rooms allow park and city views. The level will also include a versatile lounge.
