With the tranquillity of Royal Parkland on one side and the sophistication of Knightsbridge on the other, Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park has long been the setting for royal visits, society balls and official engagements. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the late Princess Margaret first learned to dance in the gilded ballroom, while Prince Charles and Princess Anne visited the tearooms as children. More recently, the hotel was the venue for a spectacular gala dinner before the royal marriage of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park also boasts the only private Royal Entrance from Hyde Park.  Traditionally reserved for royal use, guests can still partake in this grand tradition through special permission from The Royal Parks.
