HILTON LONDON HYDE PARK
About the Castle Hotel
Hilton London Hyde Park, London - An Elegant Edwardian Retreat
This distinguished four-star Hilton, housed within a Grade II listed Edwardian townhouse, offers an air of relaxed sophistication overlooking the verdant expanse of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. It's an establishment that marries its historic charm with a contemporary polish, presenting an excellent choice for those seeking both a prime London location and a sense of refined comfort.
Location
Situated in an enviable, iconic spot at the entrance to Kensington Palace, the hotel commands breathtaking park views. Its prime position within the Bayswater District places it within easy reach of Edgware Road, Kensington, and the internationally renowned gastronomic influences of Notting Hill. For onward travel, the Central line at Queensway station is a mere five-minute walk away, providing swift access across the city. Landmarks such as the Royal Albert Hall and Harrods are also within a comfortable stroll, making it an ideal base for exploration.
Style and Character
The hotel retains the dignified character of its Edwardian origins, with its traditional red terracotta-clad façade. Inside, the design thoughtfully balances historic elements with modern sensibilities, creating a look that is both elegant and contemporary. The reception area is graced by an attractive chandelier of bronze leaves, setting a welcoming tone. Each floor's entrance is marked by theatre-style push doors with latticed glass, a subtle nod to the building's heritage.
Service and Facilities
Aiming for the feel of an intimate boutique hotel, the service here strives for personable attentiveness. The property offers a 24-hour reception and a cosy Library Lounge Bar, perfect for a quiet moment. Additional facilities include a meeting and conference room, wireless internet access in public areas, and a safety box at the front desk. While it doesn't feature the expansive amenities of larger resorts, the focus is on providing essential comforts and attentive guest care.
Rooms
Hilton London Hyde Park offers 136 rooms, ranging from compact single accommodations to more spacious options designed for families. Entry-level rooms, while on the smaller side, are efficiently laid out and include comforts such as flat-screen TVs with movies on demand, tea/coffee facilities, and Philip Roth toiletries. Larger rooms facing the park or offering enhanced amenities like Nespresso machines and mini-fridges provide a more indulgent experience, with king or queen-sized Hilton Serenity beds promising a restful night's sleep. Some suites offer the luxury of standalone bathtubs and rain showers. Quadruple rooms with two queen beds are available for families or groups.
Food and Drink
The hotel is home to a sprawling branch of the well-regarded French bistro chain, Aubaine. This culinary space includes a formal dining area, a lounge bar, and a terrace, all beautifully restored to feature a blend of historic and modern furnishings. Guests can enjoy a buffet breakfast served in an airy breakfast room, with children aged 12 and under dining complimentary from the buffet. Throughout the day, Aubaine serves modern French cuisine, with a dedicated Kids Menu available for family meals. The search for perfect French bread in London finds a strong contender here.
Value for Money
The Hilton London Hyde Park positions itself as a solid option within its four-star category, particularly given its prime Hyde Park location and the inclusion of the Aubaine bistro. While room rates may fluctuate, the promise of comfortable accommodation, attentive service, and convenient access to London's attractions offers a compelling proposition. The option for late check-out, where available, adds a welcome touch of flexibility.
