This is my most favorite hotel in London. The individual designed special scent puts you in relaxation mode upon entering the doors. Wi-Fi and business center access keeps you connected. Steps to all the best shops, underground transportation.

I recently booked a 2 bedroomed apartment suite in this stunningly stylish hotel and got a great last minute deal for myself and 3 of my girlfriends. We have all celebrated our 50th Birthdays this year, and wanted something special to mark the occasions. I had already stayed in this great hotel a few times before and it never fails... More

Stayed there on business for one night. First time as we usually stayed at others hotels. Liked it and liked the location. Lots of good pubs and restaurants around. Lots of Rolls Royce, Maserati and Ferraris around the neighborhood, lots happening. Hotel is nice, rooms are large enough. Will be back

The hotel really has it going on from the cool lobby, buzzing bar, well appointed rooms and fantastic location. The hotel sits right in the middle of everything, Bond Street to the North, Green park/Buckingham Palace to the south, Piccadilly circus to the east and Mayfair (Harrods, Harvey nicks) to the west. Its no surpirse that Londons most famous hotel,... More

I'll get straight to the point.... I booked 2 Deluxe Rooms over the New Year period and my experience was horrendous. 1. We arrive at the hotel at 5.30pm and there is a mass of disgruntled guests surrounding the reception desk and milling around the lobby. We soon joined them as we discovered that we would have to wait until... More

Fantastic property. A short walk through Green Park to the gates of Buckingham. Piccadilly Line from Heathrow to Green Park Station. 1 1/2 block walk on a quiet street from the station to the hotel.

I was booked into a sister hotel and due to overbooking got transferred to the Mayfair, a very welcome surprise given that the Mayfair is billed as a 5 star deluxe property. The reception area in the hotel was beautiful though check in was a little impersonal. The room I was assigned was a standard size and no more luxurious... More

First time visiting the hotel and was extremely happy with the overall experience. Upon arriving, there a was a little wait to check in as there was a large group in front, however the staff apologized for the delay.
