Sheraton Grand London Park Lane has reopened its Palm Court Lounge and Bar following a major renovation intended to restore the Mayfair hotel’s Art Deco centrepiece ahead of its centenary in 2027.
The redesign by London-based studio Areen Design introduces new interiors that draw on 1920s influences. Faux shagreen finishes, brass detailing and onyx pendant lighting now feature throughout the Grade II-listed space, alongside stylised wall panels and a geometric carpet inspired by textile designer Marion Dorn.
The room is framed by fern and feather motifs and glass screens referencing classic Art Deco forms, while a stained-glass dome dating from 1927 remains the focal point. A backlit marble bar edged in brass separates bar seating from quieter areas used for afternoon tea. Live piano performances will run from Thursday to Sunday.

The reopening also includes updated food and drink menus. The hotel’s head pastry chef, Biju Joshwa, has introduced a new afternoon tea that features pastries and savouries influenced by the period, including a Golden Lemon Meringue Dome shaped as a tribute to the stained-glass ceiling.
A revised cocktail list includes drinks such as the Moderne Malt Fashioned and the Golden Hour Punch, each designed to reference Mayfair’s interwar era.
Sheraton Grand London Park Lane opened in 1927 as The Park Lane Hotel and was designed by Adie, Button and Partners, developing an earlier concept by architect C. W. Stephens. The building retains one of London’s few full-size Art Deco ballrooms and has long used Palm Court as its main social space.
Justin Pinchbeck, general manager, said: “Palm Court has always been a central part of the hotel’s story and a defining feature of its Art Deco heritage. As we approach our centenary, this renovation not only brings new light to the 1927 stained-glass dome, it also marks an important moment in the hotel’s evolution. It blends the space’s historic character with modern-day glamour, creating an experience that feels welcoming, relevant and designed for today’s guests.”
