  The Hilton London Green Park in Mayfair Receiving
Multi-million Pound Refurbishment
LONDON (May 13, 2003) -- The Hilton London Green Park in Mayfair is due to embark on a multi-million pound refurbishment programme. The refit, which is due to be completed in the autumn of 2003, will cover the hotel's 163 bedrooms, bathrooms and corridors.

London and Regional purchased the Hilton London Green Park from Green Park Asset Management in May 1999, which coincided with Hilton's agreement with London and Regional to lease the property. The refurbishment is funded by London and Regional, with added investment from Hilton International.
 

The 163 contemporary-styled bedrooms include 39 deluxe-plus rooms, 93 standard double rooms, 28 standard single rooms, 2 access rooms and one suite. The design is modern minimalist, with state-of-the-art equipment including PlayStation, cable television, iron and ironing boards and two telephones with data ports.  Two rooms will also be converted into access rooms for disabled persons.

Future plans to fully re-vamp the

public areas, creating a new `Flavours' restaurant and bar concept, and the refurbishment of the lobby and the hotel's principal function room, the Aquascutum Room, are also being discussed.

"The hotel is a delightful townhouse style property with a lot of charm," says Oliver Stockland, General Manager of the hotel. "These developments will combine the traditional 18th Century exterior with modern minimalist interior to create a unique ambience in the heart of London."

The Hilton London Green Park is a traditional hotel based in a series of 14 Georgian townhouses dating back to 1730. Located in the heart of Mayfair, the hotel is conveniently located to the West End, with theatres, shopping and the capital's many attractions within easy reach.

Hilton UK & Ireland currently operate 77 hotels with over 15,000 bedrooms and 15,000 staff throughout the country.
