About The Park Tower Knightsbridge, A Luxury Collection Hotel
- The curve is a cousin of Elmbank Gardens in Glasgow, another Seifert drum from the same years. The hotel counts 280 guest rooms, 22 of them suites, each with an outward view because the plan is a circle.
- Skyline of Canada also ran the Skyline hotel at Heathrow, developed with this tower by Capital and Counties. Sheraton took both management contracts on 14 May 1977.
History
Richard Seifert designed the Park Tower at 101 Knightsbridge. Prime Minister Edward Heath opened it on 21 June 1973. Capital and Counties developed it with the Skyline hotel at Heathrow, and Canadian Skyline Hotels operated both until Sheraton took the management contracts on 14 May 1977. Starwood later placed it in the Luxury Collection while keeping the Sheraton name, then renamed it The Park Tower Knightsbridge in 2013. Mahdi Al Tajir owns it. Marriott operates it.
The setting
101 Knightsbridge, beside Hyde Park and Lowndes Square, in Knightsbridge. Harvey Nichols and the shops are the immediate walk. The tower reads from the park side as a drum on a podium.
