The Park Lane Hotel is a 5 Star hotel on Piccadilly, London.

The hotel was built in the 1927 to the designs of the architects Adie, Button and Partners,[1] in a grand Art Deco style, and was constructed by the developer Sir Bracewell Smith. The building is a fine example with a mansard roof and Portland stone facade. The building is Grade II listed.

It has 302 bedrooms on eight floors with the front overlooking Green Park towards Buckingham Palace.

The hotel was bought by ITT Sheraton in April 1996 for $70 million.[2] ITT Sheraton was itself bought by Starwood Hotels in 1998. Starwood sold their leasehold on the hotel to Sir Richard Sutton’s Settled Estates in 2014.[3] The Park Lane Hotel continues to be operated by Starwood's Sheraton brand under a long-term management contract, though the hotel has never actually used the Sheraton name.

The hotel is featured in the films The End of the Affair, The Winds of War and The Golden Compass.
