The London Hilton on Park Lane
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The London Hilton on Park Lane is a hotel and skyscraper situated on Park Lane, overlooking Hyde Park in the exclusive Mayfair district of London. It is 101 metres (331 feet) tall and has 28 storeys and 450 rooms. It was completed in 1963 and was designed by William B. Tabler Architects. It is a concrete faced building, and it is regarded by some as an insensitive intrusion on the park. There are more than a dozen other Hilton hotels in London including the Waldorf Hilton, Hilton London Paddington and the Hilton London Docklands.
On 22 September 1975, the London Hilton was the target of an IRA bomb which killed two people and injured 63 others.[1]
