Park Plaza Westminster Bridge review

Park Plaza Westminster Bridge London is one of six Park Plaza hotels in the capital, along with Park Plaza London Waterloo, Park Plaza London Riverbank, Park Plaza County Hall London, Park Plaza London Park Royal and Park Plaza London Victoria. Many of these hotels are offering up to 25 percent off until July 31, 2023, on summer stays.

Guests will likely choose this hotel for its exceptional location, complete with iconic Big Ben and London Eye views. But its many luxury offerings, including excellent cuisine and relaxing spa treatments, are just as impressive. 

Park Plaza Westminster Bridge is located just a stone’s throw away from Westminster Underground Station. Step onto the bridge and the hotel is just minutes away, a tranquil haven on the doorstep of the bustling capital.

At the hotel entrance, incredibly welcoming staff are there to greet guests, ready to answer any questions that come their way as they lead them through the expansive, chic lobby.

Guests can choose to stay in a variety of rooms depending on the size of their party and budget.

These include a Superior Room, which sleeps up to two adults, a Studio Room, which sleeps up to two adults and two children, a One Bedroom Suite, which sleeps up to two adults and two children, and a One Bedroom Suite, which sleeps up to two adults and two children – with a Big Ben view. 

Those looking to splash out and soak up London’s finest views may even want to check out the Presidential Suite or Duplex Suite.

We called one of Park Plaza’s One Bedroom Suites home for the night. It offers an unbelievable view of London through floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Curl up on the sofa with a cup of tea in hand and gaze outside to experience the city from above.

It’s difficult to describe just how phenomenal London looks from this spot, and if your budget allows, it’s certainly worth splurging on a room with a view.

The suite is mainly neutral, boasting beiges, olive greens and creams with a pop of colour from the burnt orange carpets. The plush beige couch is the perfect spot to relax in front of the TV – especially days when the sunlight floods the room. 

Have a soak in the spacious bathtub for the ultimate relaxation before heading down to dinner. And after an evening of fine dining, enjoy a restful sleep in the bedroom, which boasts the same colour scheme as the lounge plus a monochromatic black and white bed. It’s super chic and incredibly cosy.

Primo Bar is a fantastic spot for a decadent cocktail or when your party simply cannot decide which cuisine to sample. From Chicken Korma with basmati rice to Penne All’Arrabbiata, Primo Bar has lots to offer. 

For sensational sushi dishes or even the hotels’ unique sushi brunch, head to Ichi Sushi & Sashimi, and for a French feast, try Brasserie Joel.

If you fancy an appetiser before sitting down to Brasserie Joel’s French fare, the olives and bread, complete with lashings of olive oil and balsamic vinegar, are a great way to start. Enjoy the nibbles but don’t make the mistake of filling up on them – there is so much more to come. 

The warm and wholesome French Onion Soup is a delicious starter, complete with croutons and Gruyère cheese. Then, tuck into the Lamb Shank, served with roast potatoes, shallot confit, submerged in a garlic and wine sauce. There is also a decent vegetarian selection to choose from, including ratatouille and baked courgette. For dessert, the Apple Tart Tatin served with vanilla ice cream can win over even the most vehement vanilla hater.

If you struggle with mammoth menus and picking the perfect meal, never fear – the friendly staff go above and beyond to help you choose the ultimate feast. The kindness and consideration of the staff are certainly second to none at Park Plaza Westminster Bridge.

And, if you aren’t totally satiated from the night before can return to Brasserie Joel for a delicious breakfast and yes, it’s just as impressive as dinner.

Devour cereals, fruits, pastries, cured meat and smoked fish, then pile your plate high with scrambled eggs, hash browns, sausages and baked beans – what’s a London hotel stay without a Full English?

Rating: 5/5

One of the best things about Park Plaza Westminster Bridge London has to be its prime location.

With London Eye and Big Ben so close by and visible from the hotel, plus many of the bedrooms, guests can truly immerse themselves in the capital. 

Step out of the doors and take a walk along the South Bank, with the Tate Modern a 21-minute walk away, plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from, and the Sea Life Centre just five minutes away.

For those planning to explore the wider city, there are plenty of bus routes on the hotel’s doorstep, as well as a Westminster Tube and Waterloo Tube and train station just a five-minute walk away.

Rating: 3/5

A night in a Superior Room, which sleeps up to two adults, starts from £399, while a One-Bedroom Suite with Big Ben View, sleeping up to two adults and two children, costs at least £699.
