Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London is inviting guests to escape the bustle of the city and celebrate the great British summer, finding a moment of calm in the Hyde Park Garden, an exclusive dining setting with views over London’s finest Royal parkland.
This is the classic London ‘town and country’ hotel that has just re-opened from a long repose and I wanted to see the Sleeping Beauty newly wakened, re-designed by Joyce Wang. I am escorted up in the elevator to the 2nd floor, and without over-use of the adjective ‘light’ this is what it now is, shades of pale green with a pale-browns carpet that apparently was even paler before GM Amanda Hyndman said it just was not practical.
