Park Lane Hotel in London Makes Christmas a Holiday to Savour

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwired - Dec 2, 2014) - With Christmas right around the corner, now is the time to shop, decorate and plan a menu for the biggest holiday of the year. And while the London Marriott Hotel Park Lane can't do the shopping and decorating for you, it can answer the question of what to serve at Christmas lunch. That's because its Lanes of London restaurant has crafted a tantalising, five-course menu that feels as much like a gift as anything under the tree this year.

Demonstrating why Lanes of London enjoys a renowned reputation among Mayfair restaurants, the Christmas Day luncheon menu features a tempting blend of signature dishes and traditional favourites. Guests begin with a choice between oysters wrapped in bacon and a smoked aubergine-and-tomato dip, followed by another course of either salt-baked pumpkin salad (with black quinoa and goat curd) or flat-cap mushrooms served with spinach and celeriac.

Such inspired pairings make for a savoury introduction to the meal, while the main course's options feel satisfyingly familiar. Guests can tuck into a slow-roasted joint of turkey, for example, chestnut-crusted cod or mac-and-cheese, before indulging in a lavish selection of desserts that range from Christmas pudding with brandy sauce, to a British cheeseboard with quince jelly, to a chocolate fountain. Tea, coffee and mince pies then conclude the meal.

As a premier destination among 5-star hotels along London's Park Lane, this property successfully bridges the gap between traditional luxury and modern savvy. (In much the same way, Lanes of London combines classic British fare with popular street food.) Guests enjoy contemporary conveniences like high-speed Internet access, a sleek indoor pool and a refurbished lobby and lounge, while the impeccably decorated, decadently sized Park Lane suites, which feature quilted wall treatments, rich wood accents and opulent marble bathrooms, remind visitors that the glory days of service are still alive and well.

Visitors can partake in the Christmas feast between 12:30 and 5 p.m. on Christmas Day. Reservations and prepayment (£75 per adult, £35 per child 12 years and younger) are required. To make a reservation, guests may contact the restaurant at book@lanesoflondon.co.uk or +44 (0)20 7647 5664.
