General Manager Hyde & Seek Hotel - Marriott’s Tribute Portfolio A New Chapter Is About to Begin — Join Us Formerly known as Corus Hotel Hyde Park, this landmark property closed in September 2025 to undergo an exciting and ambitious transformation. Reopening in late Autumn 2026 as Hyde & Seek, the hotel will proudly join Marriott’s Tribute Portfolio. Hyde & Seek is being reimagined as an upscale, bohemian oasis — a place where a calm, elegant exterior meets a lively, rebellious spirit and a vibrant soul. The hotel is undergoing a full refurbishment, with beautifully reconfigured guestrooms designed to deliver exceptional comfort alongside unexpected, expressive design. Designed to serve both the modern traveller and the local neighbourhood, Hyde & Seek will offer an all-day food and drink experience across multiple outlets — from afternoon tea and working lunches to lively evenings of dining and cocktails. A standout feature will be a light-filled, glass-roofed courtyard, providing flexible co-working and social spaces surrounded by lush greenery inspired by Hyde Park. The hotel will also feature a state-of-the-art gym and studio, welcoming both guests and the local community. Perfectly located at 1 Lancaster Gate, moments from Paddington Station, Oxford Street, Mayfair and Queensway’s major regeneration, Hyde & Seek is set to become a vibrant new destination in the heart of London. This is a rare opportunity to join a hotel at the very start of its story — and to help shape something truly special.
