The 303-bedroom Sheraton Park Lane Hotel in central London is currently undergoing a multi-million renovation.

When completed later this year the hotel will be rebadged as the Sheraton Grand London Park Lane, the first appearance of this new Starwood Group brand in London.

The renovation will enhance the Sheraton’s highly regarded art-deco features at the same time giving the hotel a brighter and more spacious feel. The bedrooms are being totally refurbished.

The Palm Court is receiving a makeover. There will be a new bar and restaurant.

A renovation of the gym will almost treble its current size and will feature brand new state-of-the-art equipment and facilities.

Sheraton Grand London Park Lane is located in Piccadilly in the heart of London’s Mayfair, facing Green Park and just a short walk from Buckingham Palace.

SS Nomadic is Titanic’s ’little sister’. She has just been restored to her former glory back in Belfast, 105 years after she first left Belfast Docks.

SS Nomadic is the last remaining White Star Line ship in the world and she is now berthed in Belfast’s Hamilton Dock.

SS Nomadic maybe only a quarter of the size of the Titanic but following an £80,000 investment in catering facilities she is now available for exclusive hire for corporate events, drinks receptions and fine dining for up to 200 guests.

BLOC Hotels have published plans to open a second hotel in Birmingham. The new hotel with 238 bedrooms would be located close to the southern entrance to Birmingham New Street Station and the Grand Central complex.

An office block, Gallan House, currently occupies the site but if plans are approved this would be demolished to make way for a new 25-storey building housing the new BLOC Grand Central hotel.

BLOC hotel rooms are designed around a 'pod' concept - removing extra fixtures and fittings to maximise space and create more bedrooms.

BLOC Grand Central would include a café/restaurant at ground floor level and would feature an open-air roof terrace.

BLOC Hotels is a Birmingham-based hotel group. They opened their first property in the city’s Jewellery Quarter in 2011, and have recently added new bedrooms. The group also operates BLOC Gatwick Airport at the South Terminal.
