The lobby, resplendent in rare Ming green marble, makes a big impression. Meander across a glass walkway and you’re transported to the heart of the building
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Hanover Square’s green lawns sit directly outside, placing New Bond Street fashion houses and the Royal Academy of Arts within easy walking distance.
The rooms
Jewel-toned bedrooms feature hand-painted magnolia silk wallcoverings, marble bathrooms with deep soaking tubs, and heated Toto toilets.
The pool, sauna and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
A 25-metre heated lap pool sits beneath starlight ceiling fixtures, alongside timber saunas and a Technogym fitness studio.
The spa
Subterranean suites lined in pale timber host Traditional Chinese Medicine rituals and bespoke Swiss botanical bodywork.
Dogs stay too.
Hanover Bar (ABar Rooftop)
The rooftop terrace serves Mayfair-inspired cocktails and small plates against panoramic views stretching to the London Eye.
Public spaces by Tokyo-based Curiosity are anchored by the now-signature spiral staircase, wrapped in emerald-green Ming marble, while Studio Indigo has taken a softer approach upstairs.
At the table
Akira Back serves Japanese-Korean dishes beneath the central skylight, and subterranean lounges host late-night DJ sets and live jazz.
How it began
Built as Mayfair’s first ground-up hotel in a decade, the modern facade is clad with elongated red brick baguettes echoing Georgian townhouses.
“With its blend of understated opulence and contemporary design, the hotel stands as a study in serenity.”
