The hotel was previously known as the Park Lodge Hotel until March 2011. At this time the hotel was given a full refurbishment.Please note that this is not the same hotel as the former Comfort Inn Hyde Park which was located at 18-19 Craven Hill Gardens. That hotel ceased trading some time before (pre 2012) thus allowing this hotel take carry the same name, confusing as it may be to past guests at that former hotel.
