Enjoying champagne and canapés at the InterContinental London Park Lane Hotel

On Wednesday, the 14^th of August, the EMC3 team had the pleasure to spend their evening at the site of Queen Elizabeth II former residence, the InterContinental London Park Lane Hotel. Hyde Park and Green Park, which are just a few steps away, inspire the whole of the interior of the hotel.

 

 

After walking in, Theo Randall’s restaurant is on your right, which is voted the “finest Italian in London” and prepares Italian food with the finest seasonal ingredients. The restaurant provides a big general seating area as well as a private dining room, which seats 24 people at the private dinner table.
The Chef Theo Randall is known for taking very good care of his guests, will interact with them when he is onsite and also has cookery activities offered on selected Saturdays from 10am to 3pm where he passes on tips he has compiled from 20 years’ experience in top kitchens around the world.

Apart from dining in Randall’s restaurant, hotel guests can also spend their time in the Cookbook Café or the Club InterContinental, which is available exclusively to guests with permitted access and offers a great view over the London skyline and boosting views of Wellington Arch.

 

The recently renovated events floor offers 12 rooms for meetings for any occasion providing a view overlooking Park Lane and a huge ballroom, which can accommodate up to 750 people for a dinner and 1000 for a drinks reception. It can also be broken down into three spaces.

 

Looking at the accommodation, guests can enjoy sweeping views of London in one of the 387 elegant Rooms featuring timeless English interiors and 60 expansive and luxurious designer Suites to accommodate both the modern man and the quintessentially British woman.

 

 

In addition to the exclusive rooms and restaurants, the Intercontinental Park Lane Hotel also provides a Spa, which comprises of five treatment rooms and an additional VIP treatment suite for couples and private parties. Featuring state-of-the-art facilities and an expert team of therapists, the luxurious spa offers innovative treatments and packages using products from luxury British spa and skincare brand Elemis.

For those who love to go to their limits there is also a Health and Fitness Center, which provides all the latest cardiovascular equipment and plenty of space for free weights and stretching.

 

At the end of our site visit at the Intercontinental Park Lane Hotel we relaxed in the Arch Bar enjoying champagne and a plethora of canapés including onion bhajis in mango sauce, chicken skewers in honey, lamb koftas in mint yogurt sauce, cheese cones with humus, rye on salmon with horseradish, carnation chicken on a crumb biscuit and a never ending trio of nibbles including sun dried vegetable crisps, rosemary cashew nuts, and green olives.

Overall we had a really great time at the InterContinental London Park Lane Hotel!
