45 Park Lane
Modernist shell, Art Deco interiors. Club-like intimacy without the stuffiness. Feels younger and more playful than its sister property The Dorchester next door — think contemporary British art on every wall, a steakhouse that draws a crowd, and a bar that actually gets loud on a Friday night.
The higher the floor, the more London opens up — worth asking at booking time
Why It Matters
Only 45 rooms, all with Hyde Park views. Wolfgang Puck's CUT is his sole London outpost. Sushi Kanesaka earned a Michelin star within seven months of opening in 2023. A rotating contemporary art programme curated by Lily Ackerman features artists including Damien Hirst, Sir Peter Blake, Joe Tilson and Christian Furr. The 10,000 sq ft subterranean spa has Park Lane's longest pool at 20 metres — included for all hotel guests. The building is connected to The Dorchester via a 120-metre underground tunnel.
Forty-five rooms, every one facing Hyde Park. That is the whole pitch, and it works. Built in the 1960s to a design by Walter Gropius — yes, the Bauhaus founder — and previously best known as a Playboy Club, the building was stripped back and reinvented by interior designer Thierry Despont when Dorchester Collection opened it as a hotel in September 2011. The result is Art Deco sensibility with a contemporary edge: custom-made furniture, marble bathrooms with mirror TVs, original British artworks by the likes of Damien Hirst and Sir Peter Blake in every room. Add Wolfgang Puck's only European restaurant downstairs and a Michelin-starred Japanese omakase counter tucked upstairs, and this is one of the most quietly confident small hotels in London.
Where You'll Stay
10 room types available
Curzon Balcony Suite
Corner suite with a wrap-around balcony delivering 180° of London skyline. Described by the hotel as 'New York style meets Art Deco magnificence.' One of the most dramatic room configurations in the building.
Deluxe Room
The entry point, and still a proper room. Art Deco design with clean lines, bold shapes, and buttery soft fabrics. Hyde Park views from every window, marble bathroom with a mirror-embedded TV screen. Aromatherapy Associates toiletries. King-size bed.
Hyde Park Balcony Room
Step outside onto your own private balcony and the park is right there. Bold contemporary design contrasts nicely with the greenery beyond. Spacious marble bathroom. The balcony is the reason to book this room.
Hyde Park Balcony Studio
The hotel's most sought-after studio. Entrance hall leads directly into the master bedroom with a king-size bed. Juliet balcony looks straight over Hyde Park. Choice of a massive rainhead shower or a deep freestanding bath. Feels more like a small apartment than a hotel room.
Hyde Park Balcony Suite
Art Deco with a more sensual edge — curved lines reflected in mirrored details throughout. Full Hyde Park view from every window, private balcony, marble bathroom with the 'bath menu' available. Absolute serenity guaranteed, according to the hotel.
Park Lane Suite
Dual aspect windows flood the living area with light. Quiet elegance and polished charm — a hotel favourite. Sleek marble bathroom with the bath menu. As prestigious as the address it shares a name with.
The Penthouse Terrace Suite
The whole top floor, to yourself. A wrap-around glass balcony delivers 360° views over central London — Hyde Park in one direction, the skyline in the other. Separate living room and dining room. Your own dedicated private lift for exclusive access. The bathroom has Hyde Park as its backdrop. This is the hotel at its most spectacular.

Three bedrooms of modern luxury — clean lines and bold design with buttery soft fabrics. Hyde Park views from every window. Marble bathrooms with mirror-integrated TV screens. Ideal for larger groups or families who want to stay together.
Multiple (king-size beds)Two-Bedroom Hyde Park Suite
