But back to the Park Lane Hotel. I have stayed here many, many times in the past, but for the last 4 or 5 years I've instead stayed at the IC Park Lane or IC Westminster or the Four Seasons. Yet I decided to stay once more at the Sheraton and I'm shocked at how poor this hotel is in comparison. I got a nice upgrade to a studio suite facing the park, but this room hasn't been renovated in at least 20 years. It just seems so downtrodden in comparison to the newer and renovated hotels. The internet speed could use a renovation too.
I love this area, but I'm glad this was one night stay and I won't stay here again til they do a good renovation.

Thanks Land-of-Miles for the great suggestion. Burger & Lobster is the best new London joint I've been to in many years.

Still for the price I paid for this hotel I could have gotten something better elsewhere. Even a renovated Holiday Inn would be better.

Well yes for the Four Seasons, but the IC's can be had for less. On my corporate rate I can usually get the IC Westminster for under 200, but not this week unfortunately. The IC Park Lane used to be cheaper too, but nowadays is mostly above 200.

I 100% agree with you on this one, The hotel needs major improvement. It is part of the luxury collection and I am sad to say that this is the worst luxury collection hotel I have ever stayed in. It needs an update!

IIRC, it's a Sheraton Hotel, not a luxury collection hotel.

Beginning September 1, 2014, the hotel will be undergoing a transformation. We are very excited to be making a major investment in the hotel which will result in completely renovated guest rooms and public areas. During the period of the renovation, the hotel will remain open and will continue to offer all of its current services.

Shouldn't this property also get a lounge as a Sheraton?
