Park Plaza London deals: get 2-4-1 tickets for Merlin attractions and 35% off your room

This article is sponsored by Radisson Hotels

Park Plaza, one of the Radisson Rewards brands, has launched two offers for anyone looking for a London hotel stay over the next few months.

As well getting a discount of up 35% on your room, you can also get a 2-4-1 ticket to various attractions run by the Merlin group.

Get 2-4-1 tickets to Merlin attractions

As most of its London hotels are concentrated around Waterloo, Park Plaza is an obvious choice if you are planning a London trip which takes in a Merlin attraction.

The image above makes the point very clearly!

As you can see here, anyone booking a room at a Park Plaza hotel in London qualifies for 2-4-1 tickets for the following attractions:

• The London Eye
• The London Dungeon
• Shrek’s Adventure!
• SEA LIFE London Aquarium
• Madame Tussauds London

With the exception of Tussauds, all of the above are within a 5-10 minute walk from Park Plaza County Hall and Park Plaza Westminster Bridge, pictured below. It is 10-15 minutes walk from Park Plaza Waterloo and Park Plaza Riverbank.

You’ll need to hop on a tube at Waterloo for Madame Tussauds, but it is a direct trip on the Bakerloo line ….

You can pre-book your attraction tickets, so there is no risk of finding all of the available slots taken when you arrive in London. Park Plaza will send you a special booking link within, they claim, two hours of receiving your hotel booking.

You must book direct via this page of their website to get the 2-4-1 attractions deal.

Given the cost of some of these attractions (standard London Eye tickets are £24.50, SEA LIFE is £27 in advance), the 2-4-1 deals do offer a good saving on the cost of your room.

Park Plaza also has a ‘kids eat free and stay free’ policy’ which will keep your costs down further.

Save 35% too …..

Running alongside this offer, Park Plaza is also running a ‘35% off’ promotion.

The discount is based off Best Flexible Rate. Rooms are fully cancellable up to 24 hours before arrival. There is even a swimming pool at Park Plaza Westminster Bridge, although based on recent feedback I recommend booking a slot before arrival due to restricted numbers.

You need to be a Radisson Rewards member to get the 35% discount. You can sign up here if you are not already a member – it’s free.

The sale dates:

• book by 5th September
• stay by 30th September

Upgraded rooms types are included in the sale. It is not just on standard rooms.

Further details on the sale are here.
