Royal Park, London Joins Distinguished International
JANUARY 21, 2009 - Distinguished International Hotels, Residences and Resorts is pleased to welcome Gareth Rowlands, General Manager and his team of The Royal Park Hotel in London as the latest hotel member of the Distinguished(R) portfolio of international properties.
This luxury boutique hotel is ideally located in Central London just north of Hyde Park and east of Piccadilly, and offers 48 elegantly appointed rooms and suites along with two meeting rooms. Comprised of 3 Georgian townhouses built in 1842 and set on a quiet tree lined street, The Royal Park Hotel is well known for its intuitive and attentive service without being obtrusive.
Guests will find period Chandeliers and fireplaces, a classic elegant decor in a Regency palette of Beddington Blue, Bone, Cream and Ointment Pink, giving The Royal Park Hotel an air of timelessness throughout.
No compromise has been made to offer the guest the ultimate in comfort and luxury, providing four poster Bellestrata beds, Italian linens, hand-woven Welsh blankets, all-marble bathrooms and antique furnishings.
'Distinguished's marketing strategies are comprehensive, clear, fitting with the changes in today's marketplace' explains Gareth Rowlands, General Manager of The Royal Park Hotel 'and their portfolio corresponds to the type of properties we want to be associated with. Bill Burruss' track record is impressive, and we feel in complete confidence with his expertise in the hospitality business.'
'I had some very interesting meetings with a number of travel agents at the recent Luxury Travel Expo,' Bill Burruss, president of Distinguished International(R) 'and the same comment kept coming back: the demand for small independent luxury hotels in the London area is steady. Luxury travelers are becoming increasingly discerning in their choices. It is no longer a matter of beautiful places, design, trend and technology. Guests are looking for outstanding service and memorable experiences when they travel. The Royal Park Hotel is a perfect example of classic stately elegance where the personnel are poised to cater and anticipate their guests' every need. A combination much rarer to find than one could expect!'
