The Vibe: Roaring Twenties Glory.

The Area: On Piccadilly, directly opposite Green Park, a short walk from Buckingham Palace.

The DNA: A recent renovation brought back this Art Deco palace to its former glory. The Sheraton Grand London Park Lane is indeed grand, yet intimate. Highlights include the famed Palm Court Lounge and Grade II listed Ballroom and Silver Gallery. Expect gilded ancient reliefs, wall lamps shaped like paper scrolls, and mighty art deco pillars that, thanks to clever use of concealed light bulbs, exude a dreamy, milky-white light. The Italian restaurant, Mercante, offers fresh and seasonal dining, and a Business Lunch menu, while the Italian style Prosecco Brunch gives a spin on the established foodie trend. Cocktails at the Smith & Whistle bar are outlandish: don’t be surprised to taste coriander seeds, balsamic vinegar or Szechuan pepper honey mixed in with your gin. Outdoor dining is available in both Mercante and Smith & Whistle.

Suite-Me-Up: Building on the hotel’s Art Deco heritage and social sway, the 303 guestrooms have been completely redesigned in order to create an elegant, luxury hotel experience. New to the hotel, 43 Sheraton Club Rooms and suites offer exclusive access to the Sheraton® Club Lounge, a private space where guests can enjoy complimentary breakfast, drinks and snacks during the day, a taster of The Palm Court afternoon tea, a full bar and evening canapés. The hotel’s 21 suites have been reconfigured to make best use of the internal space and take full advantage of leafy views over Green Park.
