The Hyde Bar at the Royal Park Hotel is a unique haunt located just a short walk from Hyde Park and just a stone’s throw away from Kensington Palace and the Royal Albert Hall.
With gorgeous views of Westbourne Terrace, once hailed the ‘finest street in London’, diners are assured an intimate and private member’s club feel, away from the hustle and bustle of the capital.
The luxury restaurant is set amidst mid-19th century Grade II listed townhouses with all the grace and charm of its original Victorian architecture, which originated in 1842.
Low lighting, plush sofas and a cozy fireplace immediately set a tranquil ambiance. Upon entering guests are instantly whisked in time by the 19th century British interiors of the bar and dining area. Its endless character is further met by its original period features and artwork, making a fantastic hang out for business and pleasure.
