The hotel's location is unrivalled. You can walk through parks to Knightsbridge, to Buckingham Palace, everything else is also in walking distance. If you opt for the tube or a bus, it's just around the corner. Can't be more convenient. The hotel is brand-new inside. Modern chic, fashionable. They cannot do anything about room sizes, of course. The building is from the 70s. So are the room sizes. But they are okay, just average. Breakfast is also good standard, but lacks what I expect from a 5* hotel-but, well, this is Britain, this is London. There is no sparkling wine, the what they probably call a European roll is downright inedible. But there is a choice of breads and there is an impressive choice of really fresh fruit.
Compared with other hotels in London of a comparable standard, I definitely recommend the IC. The cost-effectiveness is - again! for London or the UK- really good.

The Intercontinental London Park Lane Hotel is a super efficient, luxurious hotel with beautiful rooms and bathrooms and provides every comfort for a five star London experience. The executive rooms are beautiful and the added use of the executive lounge is very enjoyable in terms of a lovely lounge on the seventh floor that gives a great view of Marble Arch and Hyde Park. In fact the Intercontinental Park Lane is in a very advantageous position for visiting London - Hyde Park is on the doorstep for walking and it is right next to the main shopping areas of Oxford Street and Bond Street plus near enough to walk to Knightsbridge and museums and Piccadilly and theatres. Behind the hotel is an area rich in cafes and small winding streets and shops. The staff are super friendly and very kind. We thoroughly recommend this hotel for business or pleasure. Breakfast is very good too.

A five star experience from arrival to checkout. The well sized room was finished in a contemporary style,with a flat screen hd TV. The beds and bedding were excellent. The room was very well maintained. The gym was clean and while relatively small equipped with free weights, univeral gym type equpment, stationary biles, exercise balls etc.

We upgraded for $120 to have the use of the 7th floor Longe which came with a great view of Hyde Park. The lounge provides a full service breakfast and hot/cold snacks . The happy hour is complimentary.Tthey also have three computers set up for guest use in the lounge. On the downside drinks and long distance calls are expensive and we could hear traffic noise some of the time.
We also stayed in the Marriott Park Lane and while it was very nice the Intercontinental was our first choice.

A single woman on vacation I stayed at the Intercontinental Park Lane in London. Perfect Stay. I had everything but a butler.The concerige set me up with a guided tour with Evans and Evans for Windsor , Stone Henge and Oxford. Loved loved loved it!
