Royal Lancaster London relaunched in September 2017 following an £80 million renovation. Upon completion, the mid-century icon reinstated its original name of ‘Royal Lancaster London’ in time for the hotel’s 50th Anniversary.
Works include a dramatic new entrance façade and reception lobby, and the redesign of all 411 guestrooms and suites in the 18-storey tower – one of central London’s best-known landmarks on the boundary of Hyde Park. The lobby also features a statement marble staircase and the effortlessly stylish Hyde Lobby Bar.
The new guestroom design emphasizes the premium views over Hyde Park and offers luxurious details including tactile fabrics, beautiful bronze and glass elements, with bespoke light fittings. In a nod to the hotel’s roots in the 1960s, the design of the new suites blends mid-century nuances and the quirkiness of the English character from that era, with a contemporary edge – an approach that chimes with the hotel’s vision of ‘creating the future with the treasures of our past’.
