5-Star London Hilton on Park Lane Celebrates 55th Anniversary With Sixties-Themed Party

The party has quite the guest list. From Nobel Peace Prize winner the Dalai Lama to boxing legend Muhammad Ali. VIPs and honoured guests will join them in raising a glass in celebration of the hotel’s success since it opened in 1963.

Additionally, to commemorate the 55th anniversary, London Hilton on Park Lane will be offering 55 standard guest rooms for £55. This limited offer will be bookable from today but is expected to sell out fast.

Michael Shepherd, general manager at London Hilton on Park Lane, said: “At the time of opening in April 1963, The London Hilton on Park Lane set the pace of contemporary hotel-keeping and hospitality. It became a destination and a magnet for events and celebrations. Its reputation grew as the place to be seen and set a new benchmark of service and quality.

“Over the years we have hosted historic occasions these are both very personal and also world renowned, culminating in being the designated host hotel for dignitaries and Heads of State for the London 2012 Olympic Games.

“The London Hilton on Park Lane has set the pace for the huge growth of tourism in the capital. Although we can look back on an amazing wealth of history, we stand ever tall but never still. We look forward to creating more innovative, show-stopping, first-class events and conferences at the London Hilton on Park Lane for many years to come.”

The hotel is famed as a venue for awards dinners, gala evenings, personal celebrations and conferences hosting everyone from kings and presidents to Hollywood stars. Hosting such notable charitable events as The Red Cross Ball, Lord’s Taverners and the Royal Warrant Holders has seen the hotel welcome royals including Princess Diana, Princess Anne, Prince Charles and the Duke of Edinburgh.
