Part of the Grosvenor Casinos Group, the Park Tower Casino is located in the Knightsbridge neighborhood of London, UK, near iconic stores such as Harrods and Harvey Nichols, which is considered West London south of Hyde Park. The casino is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and you must be 18 years of age or older to play. One unique attribute we found interesting is that there is an informal enforcement of a dress code. Players who wear sports attire, such as shorts, may not be permitted to enter and play. The casino characterizes the dress code as, smart casual.
Grosvenor Casinos is owned by The Rank Group, a gaming operator, with market share in the UK, Spain, and Belgium. The casino itself is situated below The Park Tower Knightsbridge hotel and the nearest tube station is Knightsbridge, about a minute (or two) walk from the casino and hotel.

The Park Tower Knightsbridge Hotel is a luxury 5-star hotel in London, England. It is situated at 101 Knightsbridge near Hyde Park, in the Belgravian district of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
History[edit]
The hotel was designed by Richard Seifert and was officially opened on 21 June 1973 as the Park Tower Hotel by Prime Minister Edward Heath. It has a close similarity to the tower of Elmbank Gardens, an office block in Glasgow which Seifert's practice designed around the same period. Sheraton Hotels acquired the management contract for the Park Tower, along with the Skyline Hotel at Heathrow Airport, from Canadian-based Skyline Hotels on May 14, 1977, and the hotel was renamed the Sheraton Park Tower.[2]
When Starwood acquired Sheraton, they moved the hotel from their Sheraton division to The Luxury Collection, but somewhat confusingly kept the Sheraton name on the hotel for many years. The hotel was finally renamed in 2013, for its 40th anniversary, becoming The Park Tower Knightsbridge. The hotel is owned by Mahdi Al Tajir, an Emirati businessman and former diplomat.
