The Lancaster London hotel in central London is currently undergoing a major £75million refurbishment.

When this is completed in autumn 2017, the 416-bedroom hotel will revert to its former name: The Royal Lancaster Hotel.

The Royal Lancaster Hotel initially opened at Lancaster Gate overlooking Hyde Park in 1967.

The refurbishment to mark the hotel’s 50th anniversary began in October 2016 with a refurbishment to the lobby with a new café and cocktail bar.  £3million is currently being spent revamping and extending the Lounge Bar and Park Restaurant overlooking Hyde Park.

The first of the new-look bedrooms are now available.

By summer 2017 all works will be complete and the Royal Lancaster will unveil its new public areas, its last redesigned floors and its new name.

The Royal Lancaster Hotel is a few steps from Lancaster Gate tube station and is a short walk from Paddington main line rail terminal.
