Guests enjoy discreet five-star service throughout, complemented by a warm welcome extended to organisations across every industry sector including the pharmaceutical & financial industry The renowned Nine Kings and Westbourne Suite host conferences, product launches (including automotives), award dinners and gala celebrations for up to 1,200 guests, supported by advanced production capabilities by 4Wall Entertainment, high ceilings, vehicle access options and fully flexible layouts. For board meetings, briefings and breakout sessions, a refined collection of additional spaces provides seamless flow for multi-room events.

The hotel’s location opposite Hyde Park, with Lancaster Gate Underground adjacent and Paddington Station a short walk away, ensures easy access for UK and international delegates, including a 15-minute Heathrow Airport Express connection. With 411 elegantly designed bedrooms and suites, the property is ideal for residential conferences and multi-day events, allowing entire delegations to stay onsite. Dining is an integral highlight: alongside the award-winning Nipa Thai, January 2026 will see the opening of Tortello, a sophisticated Italian restaurant overlooking the Italian Gardens of Hyde Park. Tortello will showcase hand-rolled pasta and regional Italian dishes in a design-led space, offering an exceptional culinary destination for delegates and private dining alike.
