Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London is inviting guests to escape the bustle of the city and celebrate the great British summer, finding a moment of calm in the Hyde Park Garden, an exclusive dining setting with views over London’s finest Royal parkland.

Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London is offering a unique retail guest experience with the famous Harrods department store in Knightsbridge.

This is the classic London ‘town and country’ hotel that has just re-opened from a long repose and I wanted to see the Sleeping Beauty newly wakened, re-designed by Joyce Wang. I am escorted up in the elevator to the 2nd floor, and without over-use of the adjective ‘light’ this is what it now is, shades of pale green with a pale-browns carpet that apparently was even paler before GM Amanda Hyndman said it just was not practical.
