We found the London hotel with incredible views where celebs stay before events
We checked in to this popular central London hotel to see why it's so popular – with celebrities and 'regular' travellers alike – and discovered spacious rooms and amazing views First impressions when you enter London Hilton on Park Lane, on the edge of Hyde Park, are certainly grand ones, with a glitzy lobby filled with velvet sofas and human-sized bouquets of fresh flowers to greet you. Despite this clearly being a big corporate hotel (there was at least one conference going on when we stayed), the service is super friendly and personal, from the welcome at reception to the cute note from housekeeping on our pillow with the turn down. Lots of guests were obviously repeat visitors, and staff greeted them – and first-timers like us – like old friends. We're told Academy Award-winning actor Susan Sarandon recently stayed here, as did Maura Higgins to get ready before this year's TV BAFTAs. The rooms at London Hilton on Park Lane We were lucky enough to be put in the recently refurbished Executive Park Lane Suite, a huge space on the 25th floor featuring a lounge area, separate bedroom and dressing room, and incredible views out over Hyde Park, with the Serpentine twinkling in the middle. We were particularly taken by the window seat and super-comfy bed, and the large marble bathroom with two sinks, separate bath and shower, and Molton Brown toiletries. If your budget stretches to it, it's a real luxury to have so much space in the city centre, and feels like London's version of a luxury apartment in New York City, overlooking Central Park. One big perk for those staying in an Executive Room or any of the 56 suites is access to the hotel's Executive Lounge, where breakfast is served in the mornings, and drinks and snacks between 5pm-7pm in the evenings – and there's a wide selection, with no limits on the wines, beers, soft drinks and snacks. You could basically dine out here if you so wished. The food atLondon Hilton on Park Lane Instead, however, we headed downstairs for dinner at the hotel's Park Corner Brasserie, a modern British eatery serving elevated classics. Although not a huge number of options for vegetarians, we loved our cabbage and sweetcorn frittata, and there were loads of grill dishes to choose from. Our personal highlight came at the end of the meal with a trio of creme brulées, each one more delicious than the last. How much does it cost to stay atLondon Hilton on Park Lane? Rooms at London Hilton on Park Lane start from £459 for a Twin Guest Room. For a stay that costs a little less, take a look at Citizen M's four London hotels, which start from £208.80 per night, or browse hundreds of other options on

From strolling through charming neighborhoods and sharing warm embraces near the bustling Eat Street to revving up their excitement on an ATV ride, the duo's tropical vacation was clearly as hot as the weather. At one point, Louis was even spotted giving Zara a flirty squeeze on the bum. Zara looked effortlessly stylish in a crisp white tube top paired with a casual Miu Miu baseball cap, adding a sporty touch to her laid-back vacation look. Meanwhile, Louis kept things cool and casual, sporting a bright orange Burberry T-shirt complemented by sunglasses. Their chemistry is undeniable, and it seems like what once appeared to be casual dating has escalated into a full-fledged romance. The loved-up duo have been glued to each other since March – just three months after Zara's split from Made in Chelsea star Sam Thompson. According to The Sun, Louis made sure Zara travelled in style, arranging for her to fly first class from London to join him in Costa Rica. The romantic gesture meant Zara missed out on attending the TV BAFTAs, but sources say she had no hesitation: 'She is keen to spend as much time with Louis as possible.

Zara has been documenting moments from their tropical retreat, recently posting a photo of a fiery orange sky tagged with the simple caption: 'beautiful.' Louis has been making it clear he's his new love's biggest fan, leaving a heartfelt 'Proud of you x' under another of Zara's posts, in which she celebrated her growing confidence as a documentary filmmaker.

Louis Tomlinson's 'uncomfortable' gesture to Zara McDermott shows 'distance'
One Direction's Louis Tomlinson and Zara McDermott appear head over heels for each other on their latest getaway, but an expert has claimed there's some distance between them Louis Tomlinson's romance with Zara McDermott is very clearly in its early days as they have been packing on the PDA, yet they may still have a way to go according to a body language expert. There is no shortage of attraction between the new couple as things heated up on their latest getaway. The One Direction star, 33, was seen getting up close and personal with Love Island's Zara, 28, on a romantic break in Costa Rica. He was spotted playfully grabbing onto Zara's bum as they shared a passionate kiss on their tropical adventure. Louis and Zara were seen embracing and sharing kisses as they explored their stunning surroundings. Body language expert Judi James has told the Mirror that amid the couple's blissful honeymoon period, there may be some issues at play. She told us: "There's an air of casual sexuality from Louis here as he grabs Zara's bum to hold her to the side of his own torso as he holds a cigarette in his free hand. "Keeping his torso facing front, suggesting an uncommitted approach, he leans in for a kiss while she is fully facing him with both her arms around him although not extended to embrace him fully, suggesting some reservation." Judi added of a snap of the pair driving down the street on a quadbike: "Louis looks totally happy in charge of the bike, where there is an expression of total enjoyment on his face, giving the impression that he enjoys some of the playful rituals with Zara as much as the flirty ones." She then addressed one photo that showed Louis turning away from Zara with his hand on her chest. Judi said: "But why the extended arm pushing her away in one of the photos? "His hand is on her chest in a rather uncomfortable-looking gesture of distancing here. She looks rather surprised, with her own hand on his wrist in what looks like an attempt to stop the extended hand, while her head is cocked in a gesture suggesting puzzlement. "But his expression is more of a facial gurn, with the lips pursed and pushed out in what is often a sign of a sulk. This sexy but unsynchronized body language and the facial gazing suggests that, although they might be close, they don't quite understand each other yet." "One or both of them might be difficult to read, leading to a lack of mirroring or truly relaxed-looking behaviors," she concluded. Zara flew 5,000 miles to join Louis for the romantic trip while he worked on his upcoming album. It has been claimed by insiders that Louis splashed thousands for Zara to join him, flying her first class from London to Costa Rica after she attended the TV BAFTAs. Earlier this week, the pair were spotted on a loved-up meal together. Zara and Louis looked head over heels for each other as they shared a passionate kiss at the Banana Beach Restaurant by the ocean. The Love Island star, who split from Sam Thompson at the start of the year, wrapped her arms around his neck, and Louis held on to her waist as they leaned in for a kiss. One moment showed him place his arm over her chest and shoulder as the two giggled about their topic of conversation. The new couple were the target of romance rumours earlier this year when eagle-eyed fans noted that they followed each other on social media, and Louis' sisters Lottie, Daisy and Phoebe all followed the Strictly star on Instagram. Meanwhile, Louis's sister Lottie recently opened up about their relationship and admitted she's waiting to put Zara on babysitting duties. 'Yeah, she is amazing, and they are really happy. I'm really happy for him,' she told OK! Magazine.

Louis and Zara then enjoyed a cosy trip together in Los Angeles, with Zara finally unveiling her romance on Instagram as the pair enjoyed a brunch date together. Since then, it appears their romance has continued to hot up as Zara is now supporting Louis in Costa Rica. But, she won't be in the stands of Old Trafford for Soccer Aid as Louis is set to play alongside Zara's ex Sam for the charity match next month.
