LONDON, England, November 15, 2004 - Situated at the top of Park Lane,

London home, The Cumberland hotel is now ready to share its unique fusion
of design and technology with visitors from all over the world.
Newly redesigned and completely refurbished, the Cumberland meets the needs of guests seeking something different from a large, modern hotel. With 900 rooms, the hotel offers style, comfort and perfect personal service with modern British art and the latest in technology throughout. The hotel is the first in the UK to operate under Thistle Hotels' new de luxe brand Guoman. "The Cumberland is a flagship, and the perfect hotel with which to launch the Guoman brand. It occupies a superb location at the top of Park Lane on Oxford Street, and offers a unique experience to leisure and business users alike," says Beverly King, Chief Operating Officer, Thistle Hotels. The Cumberland experience begins the moment you enter the spacious gallery-style lobby. Artworks from some of Britain's leading contemporary artists are exhibited together with electronic projections on water and a unique sound installation. The Cumberland also offers an intimate bar, a brasserie and a fine dining restaurant with a separate breakfast and dining suite offering global cuisine. All 900 light, airy rooms feature Egyptian cotton bed linen, thick mattresses, soft lighting, a power shower and luxurious bathrobes. Rooms all include works of art that guests can see and touch plus hi-tech features such as massive plasma screen or LCD TVs providing multiple channels, downloadable movies and music, and the ability to surf the web or self-checkout. The Cumberland's meetings and events facilities rank among the best in London, with a completely self-contained complex featuring 26 flexible, multi-functional, air-conditioned rooms perfect for anything from private meetings to full-scale conferences.
