Hyde Park
Edwardian grandeur dressed in art deco luxury, with Hyde Park's calm green world seeping through every window. Grand but not stuffy. The kind of place where royals have used a private back entrance since 1902.

Why It Matters
One of very few London hotels where dining, spa, and rooms operate at the same exceptional level simultaneously. Dinner by Heston Blumenthal holds two Michelin stars. The spa has 13 treatment rooms and a 17-metre pool. The building opened in 1902 after César Ritz consulted on the conversion and has hosted royals, heads of state, and Hollywood legends ever since. There's even a Royal Entrance in the back facing Hyde Park — technically still reserved for the monarch.
Built in 1889 as apartments and converted to a hotel in 1902, Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park sits with its front door on Knightsbridge and its back garden in Hyde Park. The Edwardian building was transformed by designer Joyce Wang in 2019 — art deco chandeliers, hand-gilded mirror artwork, Volakas marble bathrooms throughout — and the result is one of the most coherent luxury hotel redesigns in recent London memory. It's expensive. Very. But the combination of a two-Michelin-starred restaurant by Heston Blumenthal, one of the city's most serious spas, and service calibrated at a level where staff genuinely remember your preferences makes the cost feel earned.
Where You'll Stay
8 room types available
Courtyard Room
Looks onto the hotel's interior courtyard rather than the street or park — quieter as a result. Each has its own unique layout with a bespoke leather-topped desk and custom Onyx chandeliers. Volakas marble bathrooms have either a walk-in shower or a bath with in-built shower. Good value by this hotel's standards if park views aren't a priority.
34 sqm
Hyde Park Junior Suite
The park-facing version of the Junior Suite — 45 sqm with a living area featuring sofa, coffee table, and armchair directly overlooking Hyde Park. Contemporary décor inspired by the parkside setting. Genuinely restful.
45 sqm
Hyde Park Room
The sweet spot for first-time visitors — 41 sqm with direct views over Hyde Park. Grey paneled walls and hand-gilded mirror artwork throughout. Custom Onyx chandeliers, leather-topped desks. Some have a small balcony facing the park. Worth the upgrade.
41 sqm
Junior Suite
At 45 sqm, these junior suites overlook either the peaceful interior courtyard or Knightsbridge. A dedicated seating area adds breathing room. Generous wardrobe space, hand-gilded mirror artwork, and a leather-topped writing desk. Step up from the rooms without going full suite cost.
45 sqm
Knightsbridge Deluxe Room
Slightly bigger than standard rooms at 38 sqm, overlooking Knightsbridge. Beautifully appointed with Volakas marble bathrooms — some have walk-in showers, others a bath with built-in shower. Connecting rooms available, making them practical for families.
38 sqm
Knightsbridge Room
Same 34 sqm footprint as the Courtyard rooms but facing Knightsbridge. Each room has its own unique layout with a bespoke leather-topped desk and custom Onyx chandeliers. Volakas marble bathrooms with either a walk-in shower or a bath.
34 sqm
Three Bedroom Mandarin Oriental Penthouse
The hotel's most expansive accommodation at nearly 5,000 sq ft. Two salons with lavish silk wall coverings, gilded mirrors, chandeliers, and open fireplaces. Libraries curated by Heywood Hill of Mayfair. Three bedrooms — the master with adjoining walk-in dressing area and a terrace with daybed and dining table; the second bedroom also with its own large terrace; the third with two beds and balcony access. A full kitchen supports private entertaining for up to eight guests at two dining tables. The private terrace accommodates 40 for events. Design by Joyce Wang with carpet motifs referencing Hyde Park leaves and ceiling details evoking London park walkways.
444 sqm
Turret Suite
Located in the building's historic turrets — circular rooms that feel like a private London apartment. At 47 sqm they include a living area with a cosy fireplace, leather-topped writing desk, and floor-to-ceiling windows wrapping the curved walls. One of the hotel's most characterful options.
