Located in the heart of elegant Mayfair, near museums and landmarks, the restoration has seen the hotel established as one of Europe’s flagship JW Marriott properties, while honoring the property’s heritage as a meeting place for royalty, celebrities, and business leaders since its opening in 1929. From 494 guest rooms and suites for a heavenly night’s sleep to a vast array of sumptuous dining options, the newly refurbished hotel is truly a regal home-away-from-home for busy travelers. It now offers the most adaptable and stylish function space in all of London: 86 Park Lane is located on a separate floor adjoining the hotel and is the ideal function space for any occasion. The meeting space at 86 Park Lane has been carefully renovated to provide 20 meeting rooms and dining suites to suit virtually any occasion. Filled with natural light, these spacious and airy rooms provide the utmost flexibility to suit the needs of any event, accommodating small parties or large groups of 12 to 150 guests.The fresh and airy ambiance is ideal for creative thinking and problem solving. All of the 86 Park Lane suites have elegant proportions, and some also boast stunning views over Hyde Park. Each space has been decorated in warm shades of green and gold and individually furnished with fine antique or contemporary furniture and artwork from the hotel’s notable collection.With its own reception area, independent kitchen, and dedicated staff, 86 Park Lane is equipped with video conferencing, presentation rooms and full business support. In addition to its capacity to host multi-day conferences and events, the hotel is also making available daytime meeting slots for booking in 2009. The hotel’s famed Great Room is the largest hotel banquet space in Europe, seating more than 2,000 people. Having previously played host to the British Association of Film and Television Awards, the Great Room adds special sparkle to any event with its sweeping staircase and fairy-tale chandeliers. On a more intimate scale, the Ballroom, with its delicate, classical plasterwork and jewel-like beveled mirrors, has a timeless beauty that offers the perfect setting for a truly stylish occasion or special gathering. New dining options in the hotel include the French brasserie BORD’EAUX under Tom Aikens protégé Ollie Couillaud, Le P’tit Café for light snacks, and an afternoon tea menu in the scenic Park Room that rivals any in London. A fine dining restaurant from Richard Corrigan is anticipated later this year.
