The Millennium Hotel Mayfair

Introduction: Opposite the American Embassy in the centre of the exclusive Mayfair area is the Millennium Hotel Mayfair London. The hotel is on the South side of Grosvenor Square overlooking the open space in the middle of the Square that forms something of an tranquil island from the road that surrounds it. The main entrance to the hotel however is behind the hotel in Adams Row. Less than 400 yards to the West, just across Park Lane, is Hyde Park which itself is adjacent to Kensington Park Gardens. The park has a long history having seen many historic events in its past including hangings and riots. Today it provides a great place for all the family with no end of things to do and see including horse riding (from nearby stables) and boating on serpentine lake when weather permits. Its also often used for open air concerts. High quality and upmarket shopping is all around the hotel. Oxford Street to the North is the most densely populated street in terms of shop square footage in Europe and is very much geared to the tourist. To the east is the fashion and jewellery of Bond Street while just beyond Bond Street is Regent Street with a broader mix of shops, boutiques and restaurants. To the South is Piccadilly home to famous names such as Fortnum and Mason where many of the rich and famous prefer to shop. Perhaps testimony to the exclusivity of the area is the fact that Mayfair is the most expensive street on the English version of the monopoly board. The location is also very much part of central London and affords easy access to all the major tourist areas. Local attractions include Speakers Corner (0.3 miles), Marble Arch (0.4 miles), Wallace Collection (0.4 miles), Piccadilly Circus (0.7 miles), Buckingham Palace (0.8 miles), Madame Tusauds (0.8 miles) and Harrods Department Store (1 mile).
