​With Hotels With Great Taste, we’re pulling back the curtain for a peek at the “special sauce” that hotels use to create memorable, meaningful culinary experiences for their guests.. Have you been the victim of a sad hotel breakfast? Those overpriced, overcooked, and underseasoned eggs may not entitle you to compensation, per se, but you certainly deserve a do-over. The Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane is ready to help you forget the sorry gloopy excuse for Hollandaise of your past.. Located in the uber-posh Mayfair neighborhood, with Buckingham Palace just a jaunt across Hyde Park, the Four Seasons at Park Lane is as stately a property as the postcode demands. We’re talking floor-to-ceiling (a very, very high ceiling) windows, sumptuous fabrics in a neutral palette, and gleaming black marble floors that make your shoes go clickety-clack.
