Sir Bracewell Smith took the site, Adie, Button and Partners clothed it in Portland stone, and The Park Lane Hotel opened in 1927, looking toward Green Park and Buckingham Palace. Sheraton bought the house in 1996 and only put its name on the door in July 2016.

About Sheraton Grand London Park Lane
- The Palm Court keeps a 1920s stained-glass ceiling, a marble floor, and the original bar. Afternoon tea is still served under that glass.
- ITT Sheraton bought the hotel in April 1996. It stayed The Park Lane Hotel on the street until 19 July 2016, when the renovation made it a Sheraton Grand.
- Sir Richard Sutton's Settled Estates owns the building, and Sheraton manages it. The 2016 work added 43 club rooms with a private lounge.
History
The Park Lane Hotel was begun before 1914 by C. W. Stephens, architect of Harrods. Work stopped for the First World War and Stephens died in 1917, leaving a steel frame. Sir Bracewell Smith revived the site, and Adie, Button and Partners designed the Portland stone hotel that opened in 1927, with a mansard roof and a front toward Green Park and Buckingham Palace. The building is Grade II listed. ITT Sheraton bought it in April 1996. The Sheraton name went on the door only on 19 July 2016, after a renovation, as Sheraton Grand London Park Lane. The 2016 renovation left 303 rooms. The Palm Court retains its stained-glass ceiling.
The setting
The entrance is on Piccadilly, W1J 7BX, in Mayfair, with Green Park in front and Buckingham Palace beyond the trees. Hyde Park Corner and Park Lane are the walk west. The hotel has always been called Park Lane. The door itself faces the park from Piccadilly.
