Mayfair is one of London's most well to do areas; situated between the green sprawl of Hyde Park and the high-end retailers of Bond Street. It’s a great location if you’re coming to London to shop, see a show, eat well and/or visit the museums. This is an exclusive neighbourhood and, with that, comes some of London's finest hotels. Here you can expect impeccable service standards (some even offer a private butler service), wonderfully exclusive bars and restaurants popular with London’s A-List crowd, and grand historic settings. Our hotel experts have compiled a collection of the best hotels in Mayfair ranging from hotels with Michelin-starred dining to some of London's grande dames. So why not browse through our collection to plan that luxury break?
For a special occasion

- Claridge's is a London institution, one of the city's best hotels and arguably also one of its most beautiful. The hotel's recent refurbishment was sympathetic to the beauty of the original and the restaurant and the top floor spa have become just as popular as afternoon tea in the foyer.
For a shopping spree

- On a quiet side street between Bond Street and Selfridges, The Beaumont is a luxurious Art Deco era hotel with fantastic heritage detailing and a great restaurant well known by London’s A-List. It also has a spa with a hammam, which you might need after your day shopping, and before your meal or trip to the theatre.
- If you think you might need a bit more space for all your bags consider staying in one of 12 suites at No. 5 Maddox Street, just off Bond Street. These self-catering mini-apartments are charming and offer all the mod. cons., plus audio-visual equipment to please even the most demanding clients.
- Close to The Royal Academy, Fortnums and the Burlington Arcade, Brown's Hotel, London is an old world Mayfair institution transformed by Olga Polizzi into an elegant, polished, five-star hotel with a fantastic spa and a rooftop bar.
For a hip stay

- The Mayfair Townhouse is a stunning lifestyle hotel created from the conversion of fifteen townhouses on Half Moon Street in the heart of Mayfair. Interiors ooze sultry sophistication and luxurious rooms range from the affordable to the utterly decadent! The Dandy Bar is popular for cocktails and more, and is the place to party till late. A seriously cool property!
For a boutique

- The Stafford occupies three sides of a charming 18th-century cobbled courtyard in the heart of St James’s. This is a luxurious base with grand interiors packed full of character. The Game Bird restaurant serves up high-end British Classics and there's a sophisticated bar. A unique British stay.
For a grand dame

- The Connaught Hotel is the discreet and understated ‘grande dame’ of Mayfair, the epitome of old-world Britishness, but updated to meet the needs of modern life and design. The service is incredible — there’s a veritable fleet of butlers — and you'll also find a chic restaurant and bars plus a world-class Aman Spa.
- The Ritz is too well known to be considered discreet — its location right on Piccadilly and its grand frontage and dapper doormen, means you can’t miss it. But it does feel discreet inside, even with the grand, Neoclassical features and luxurious details. There are 133 Art Deco style rooms and the restaurant is packed with great art while serving up sublime food.
For luxury
- The Dorchester is another London institution; this is the kind of place to come if you want the royal treatment with signature British style and incredible service. The rooms are ritzy yet comfortable, with Italian marble bathrooms, wonderful fabrics and beautiful lighting. The public spaces are grand and gracious.
- 45 Park Lane is the glossy Art Deco sister hotel to The Dorchester, with the same first class service and fantastic views of Hyde Park. This time the decor wows in a different way with sleek lines and sensuous fabrics. They’re known for their haute cuisine breakfasts and Wolfgang Puck's highly recommended CUT restaurant is onsite.
For foodies

- Dukes Hotel, situated in the heart of St James', combines history with more modern touches to provide a truly excellent stay. Dukes Bar reputably provided the inspiration for James Bond's very own Martini, while Michelin-starred chef Nigel Mendham serves up a classically British menu in the hotel's restaurant GBR. A real foodies' destination.
- St James's Hotel & Club is a superbly luxurious Mayfair hideaway with a couple of magnificent rooftop suites and a Michelin-starred restaurant. A perfect option for a romantic weekend break.
