Stayed there around 4 0r 5 times and also at IC Park Lane many times also.

The Crowne Plaza offers superb value for an award stay if it s on a weekday as it normally approx £250 per night.

If its for a weekend then PM me I will tell you a way to get the room for around £50 a night.

The Crowne Plaza is very busy and expensive on weekdays as it bang on in the city and in the financial district which is very busy on weekdays.

IC Park Lane is next to Hyde Park and on Park Lane. For an award stay I I would def take up the CP for 25,000 as 40,000 for the IC Park LAne is a lot more.

The key would be: If your on a business trip or not, if you are and you need to be in the city then definetely the CP.

I recently spent 5 nights at the IC (last week) Park Lane for business, problem was that my business was near Bank and in the city, I wished I had booked the CP as thought its not 5 star like the IC it is a good 4 star.


Finally ive had an upgrade to executive floor with club lounge access at the CP on on 3 out of 4 every occasions i have stayed there being Platinum and a Royal Ambassador however on 1 occassion they only gave me a superior room (which is an executive room) without club access.
