Edwardian splendour has been given a modern twist, in a new video which shares the great history and character of Hilton London Hyde Park.

And the film – which showcases the historic past and the exciting present of the hotel - has also made stars of two regular guests, Belgian couple Daniel and Nadine Ghys, who have been visitors to the Bayswater Road hotel for more than 25 years.

Hilton London Hyde Park is of huge historical significance, held up as a first class example of Edwardian architecture and is a grade II listed building.

Roomzzz Aparthotel - balcony area - ideal for family holidays
Body

Editor Victoria Galligan stayed in a Roomzzz Aparthotel in London to check out how the chain caters for family holidays.

If, like me, you are a little wary about travelling in big cities with small children, then Roomzzz Aparthotels are made for you. As a mum of two small children, the thought of them being cooped up in four walls for the weekend was not appealing. But Roomzzz Aparthotels claimed to offer the ideal accommodation for family holidays so, with a family room booked, we headed off from our home up North and were at London Euston in little over two hours.
