About Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park
With the tranquillity of Hyde Park on one side and the sophistication of Knightsbridge on the other, the historic five-star Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park boasts London's most perfect location.
Having started life as a private Gentleman's Club in 1889, it was transformed in to London's newest and grandest hotel in 1908 and became home to many distinguished guests. Members of the Royal Family have always been frequent visitors here and even the Queen learned to dance within the glorious Ballroom. This magnificent hotel also boasts the only private Royal Entrance on to the park, and Winston Churchill lived here during the war – this is just some of the wonderful history this hotel has to offer.
Having completed a £50 million restoration, Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park allows guests to be surrounded by luxury, whilst experiencing service and facilities that surpass even the highest of expectations.
All of the rooms and suites have been individually furnished and decorated in true Victorian style. Behind the exquisite materials and handcrafted finishes lies the latest technology. Breath-taking views over Hyde Park are offered from all of the sumptuous suites, along with a level of refined luxury that only something of uncompromising quality can achieve. Each of the rooms are lovingly prepared with Irish linen bed sheets, goose-down pillows, luxury designer bathroom products and fresh orchids.
The Spa at Mandarin Oriental offers a haven of tranquillity in the heart of Knightsbridge. It is a place where East and West blend in harmony and drawing on exotic therapies and philosophies from around the world, a series of tailor-made treatments, known as rituals, are created exclusively for you. Guests are encouraged to arrive 40 minutes before their appointment so that they can immerse themselves within the philosophy of the spa and relax within the Amethyst crystal steam room, vitality pool, sanarium and zen relaxation room. There is also a state-of-the-art gymnasium.
With unrivalled views over Hyde Park, the hotel's award-winning restaurant, Foliage, draws its inspiration from the park. It combines striking contemporary design with modern European cuisine where the emphasis is on fresh seasonal ingredients. The Park, offering the same views, provides a vibrant and informal setting for light all-day dining, whilst the Mandarin Bar is the epicentre of Knightsbridge nightlife with a wide range of cocktails, exotic nibbles and live jazz music until 2am.
All of this, along with magnificent private meeting rooms, has made this hotel London's premier address.

Latest 5 reviews of Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park
Convenient hotel
We spent 3 days in this hotel during road show. Great breakfasts, location.
Great experience, not sure if I would pay it myself
I stayed one night in the Mandarin Oriental in London on 23 September for business trip and I absolutely loved the hotel. The room was great (yoga mat, confortable beds, lovely bathroom and really goor apple juice) and the hotel has good gym and other services. Also the location is excellent. Even if you have only 45 minutes free time during your stay, you can pop out on the street, do some shopping or eat well.
The only negative point is the price. Both rooms and e.g. breakfast are way too expensive when teh company isn't paying.
I'd Skip This One--except to eat
Due to an unfortunate oversight on my part, we were unable to stay at our favorite hotel in this area and ended up at the Mandarin Oriental instead. Oh, the room was large and well furnished (although extremely dark), and the premises clean and tidy. The service was generally good, too. Unfortunately we did not have a room with a view of Hyde Park, which might have made a difference about how we felt about this hotel, but the age of the building, despite the extensive remodeling, bothered us. Every walk down the hallways over the very creaky floorboards made us feel as if we were in a haunted house. And the lovely and modern bathroom looked great--it just didn't work well and the courteous staff were unable to make it work well. The stall shower did not drain fast enough (despite 6 maintenance calls and literally hours of time spent by the staff to repair the problem) so we were constantly forced to take "military-style" showers so as not to flood the hotel. Shame, shame Mandarin Oriental. This is unacceptable.
There is an up side however. Both the cocktail lounge and restaurant(s) were excellent every time and even provided us with some lively entertainment and conversation, since various celebrities seem to habitue these venues on a regular basis. Among others, we saw an inebriated pop star stumble from the cocktail lounge and fall flat on his face in the lobby (he wasn't seriously hurt), and another night, while we were eathing, a former British Prime Minister and party sat nearby having dinner and quite a lively, yet lovely, conversation.
Shoddy and noisy
Have spent month traveling to and from London. Is not a city known for service but a few places, like the Covent Garden really make the stay feel special. Not here! Noise from construction is unbearable, keys are often inoperable, room service orders come sloppily and late. There are staff that try to be helpful, the spa is wonderful but the actual experience of staying at hotel is rather stressful.
Also many of the guests have bodyguards and security, is very odd to feel challenged and unwelcome as you enter building.
Disappointing.
We have been a fan of Mandarin Oriental Hotels for a few years now and are happy to pay a premium to stay in a fab room and receive their legendary service, as it's totally worth the extra cash. Unfortunately this hotel wasn't up to the same standards as the others we have stayed in.
The room itself was tired - both in terms of the furniture and the decor. The curtains were pretty dirty, and the blinds didn't fit to the window, so as soon as the sun came up we had light streaming in, so we were awake at 5am and couldn't get the blinds or curtains to close over it!
In the bathroom, the bath surface was peeling away leaving a grubby brown colour all over the bath. I called Reception to let them know and see if we could move to a room with a cleaner bath. The guy on Reception responded that lots of the baths are like this because they are so old and that we wouldn't be able to move room. A supervisor was apparently sent to the room after a relatively abrupt phone call with the guy on the desk, but he/she never showed up! That's pretty poor for a Mandarin! We complained again on check out and did get the service charge refunded, which was ok. Just definitely something to look out for before you unpack, as it's not nice at all!
The rest of the hotel is also looking tired and in need of a refurb. We noticed the walls in the Park restuarant had stains all up them and it felt pretty grubby and dated. The service in the restaurant in the evening and at breakfast was excellent though and we had some fab, delicious meals together.
Considering the standard of the room and the patchy servivce we received, it wasn't good value for money. The hotel was expensive and I don't feel we had the same fab experience that we have consistently seen in other Mandarin hotels. This is my first review on a Mandarin that hasn't been perfect! Very very disappointing.
Next time we stay in London, we'll stay elsewhere, probably for a cheaper price, and perhaps just eat in the restaurant here instead!
