Intercontinental Park Lane

Set in the heart of Mayfair at the gateway to the Royal Parks, the InterContinental London Park Lane is one of the capital’s most iconic five-star hotels. 

Occupying the historic site of 145 Piccadilly, the former childhood home of Queen Elizabeth II, the hotel combines rich heritage with contemporary elegance. 

With exceptional event spaces, outstanding hospitality and a prestigious Park Lane address, it provides the perfect setting for the 2027 Trade Association Awards.

Getting there and away

The InterContinental London Park Lane is located at One Hamilton Place, Park Lane, London W1J 7QY, overlooking Hyde Park Corner in the heart of Mayfair.

The nearest London Underground station is Hyde Park Corner (Piccadilly line), just a four-minute walk from the hotel. Green Park station (Jubilee, Piccadilly and Victoria lines) is around a nine-minute walk away, providing excellent connections across London and direct access to the Elizabeth line via Bond Street.

For guests travelling by rail, London Victoria is approximately a 15-minute walk or a short taxi journey from the venue. All other mainline stations, including Euston, King’s Cross St Pancras, Paddington, Waterloo and Liverpool Street, are easily accessible via the London Underground network.
