Grosvenor House Hotel

The Grosvenor House Hotel is one of the largest and most famous luxury hotels in London. It was built in the 1920s on the site of the former London residence of the Dukes of Westminster, whose family name is Grosvenor. The hotel is on Park Lane in Mayfair and is an outpost of London's largest cluster of luxury hotels, which is centred on Hyde Park Corner. The ballroom, dubbed the Great Room, at the Grosvenor House is the venue of many prominent awards evenings, charity balls and the like and is often seen on British television.

This includes a full refurbishment of all restaurants, guest rooms, health facilities, and public areas. Upon completion in summer 2006 (or possibly 2007), the hotel will be renamed The Grosvenor House, a JW Marriott Hotel.
