Holiday Inn London Regent's Park sits on Carburton Street in Fitzrovia, W1 — a quiet residential pocket between Regent's Park and Oxford Circus. It is one of the most consistently used four-star hotels in central London for corporate travel, small conferences and group tours, because it combines a genuine West End postcode with meeting space that most boutique hotels can't match. This guide covers what the hotel actually offers, where it sits on the map, and how to secure the best rates through a UK DMC.

Rooms and suites
The hotel has 334 modern rooms across Standard, Executive and Suite categories. All rooms include free Wi-Fi, tea and coffee facilities, in-room safe, flat-screen TV and a choice of pillow. Executive rooms add sparkling water, chocolate and premium toiletries, and are the sensible choice for business travellers who want a slightly larger footprint and a workable desk.
Kids stay free with parents, and family rooms sleep up to four, making the hotel a strong pick for leisure travellers who want a neutral, well-managed base in Zone 1 without paying Mayfair rates.
The Academy — meetings, events and MICE
The Academy is the hotel's dedicated conference centre — the single biggest reason MICE planners and corporate bookers keep returning. It hosts up to 350 delegates across a pillar-free main suite, with its own reception, bar and banqueting kitchen so events run without spilling into the main hotel lobby. There are 15+ meeting rooms in total, including smaller boardrooms and syndicate spaces suitable for training courses, roadshows, product launches, AGMs and residential conferences.
- Capacity up to 350 theatre-style in the largest suite.
- Full day and half-day delegate packages including AV, refreshments and lunch.
- Dedicated event operations team and banqueting kitchen.
- Residential rates for delegates staying at the hotel.
- Sustainable "Meeting for Good" packages available on request.
Dining and bar
Junction Restaurant serves an international breakfast buffet (well-regarded and one of the largest in the area) plus all-day dining with British and international dishes. Callaghan's Bar is an informal lobby bar for evening drinks and light meals. For groups on delegate packages, private dining and buffet lunches can be set up inside The Academy so delegates don't need to leave the conference floor.
Who the hotel suits best
- Corporate travellers needing a central London base with quiet rooms, reliable Wi-Fi and a proper desk.
- MICE and conference planners who want a purpose-built venue for 50–350 delegates in Zone 1 with an on-site 300+ room inventory.
- Travel agents booking group tours — the hotel handles coach access on nearby streets and is used to Middle Eastern, GCC and North American tour operators.
- Families visiting London who prefer a bigger, full-service hotel over a boutique and want walking access to Regent's Park and the Zoo.
Honest advice before you book
- The exterior is a 1970s block — architecturally unremarkable from the outside, but the interior refurbishment is contemporary and the rooms are quiet.
- For pure luxury or a five-star Mayfair aesthetic, look at properties like The Langham, The Athenaeum or Rosewood instead. Holiday Inn Regent's Park's value is reliability, scale and meeting space, not marble lobbies.
- Book The Academy 3–6 months out for autumn (Sep–Nov) and spring (Mar–May) conference season — those are the busiest windows.
- Corporate accounts and travel agencies almost always get better rates through a contracted DMC than through public OTAs.
