Is breakfast included in the room rate?

No, breakfast is charged separately at Pavyllon London. However, it's a Michelin-starred breakfast—London's only—and highly recommended to try at least once. Prices are reasonable for this quality level.

Does the hotel have a swimming pool?

There are skylit vitality pools in the spa designed for hydrotherapy and relaxation, but no full-length lap pool. If swimming is essential to your stay, this is a limitation compared to hotels like the Peninsula London.

Can non-guests use the spa?

Yes, the spa accepts non-hotel guests for treatments and day packages, though prices are premium. Hotel guests receive priority booking and often better rates.

How far is the hotel from major attractions?

Buckingham Palace is about 10 minutes walk via Green Park, Harrods is 10 minutes to Knightsbridge, Bond Street shopping is 15 minutes, and Hyde Park is immediately adjacent. Theater district and Soho require a taxi or longer walk.

Is the location noisy?

No. Despite being near Park Lane, the hotel sits on quiet Hamilton Place, set back from major traffic. Soundproofing is excellent—I heard no traffic noise with windows closed.

Are the newly renovated suites available?

The 18 newly renovated suites are launching in summer 2025, designed by Interiors with Art. They feature sycamore wood paneling, Murano glass lighting, and can interconnect for two- or three-bedroom configurations. Rates start at £5,000 per night with butler service, museum access, and other VIP amenities included.

What makes this Four Seasons different from the Tower Bridge location?

Four Seasons Park Lane is better positioned for West End, Parks, and Knightsbridge. It's the original European Four Seasons from 1970 with historic significance. The Tower Bridge location is newer and better for the City and Tower of London. Choose based on which part of London you want to explore.
