About Grosvenor House hotel
A former ice rink now serves as Grosvenor House’s Great Room, a ballroom large enough to seat 2,000 for dinner—a telling detail at this Park Lane hotel, where entertaining happens on a considerable scale. An Art Deco–inspired ballroom adds to that character, while the Park Room offers a more intimate introduction through afternoon tea, live piano and views of Hyde Park across the road. Today part of JW Marriott, the Mayfair hotel pairs rooms with marble bathrooms and pillowtop beds with a distinctly American dining thread: USDA beef at JW Steakhouse and more than 500 bourbons at the Bourbon Bar. The park provides an appealing starting point for exploring beyond the hotel.
Why Celebrities Love Grosvenor House hotel
Grosvenor House is well suited to the public side of a high-profile London visit. Its Great Room and Ballroom have hosted major awards and society events, giving the hotel a tangible connection to the city's ceremonial calendar. Upstairs accommodation and the familiar rituals of Park Room tea make an occasion here feel like part of a stay, not just a single evening.
