The house
MaybourneTheatrical dandy folly
Goddard Littlefair channels Victorian dandyism across velvet-draped salons, adorned with witty portraits, gilded finishes, and Clarita Brinkerhoff's shimmering lobby peacock.
“A mischievous and chic fox is the hotel’s mascot, adorning every room door. And the artwork throughout is the opposite of musty townhouse…”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Whimsical dandy-inspired interiors featuring a 25,000-crystal peacock sculpture and curated portraits of the fictional Renard family.
Notable
Fifteen interconnected Georgian townhouses dating from 1730, including seven Grade II listed buildings on Half Moon Street.
Notable
The Dandy Bar mixes signature cocktails under mirrored ceilings, while the downstairs Club Room serves all-day coffee.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler, Wallpaper* and AFAR.
Rooms and suites are a romantic blend of period details and contemporary design, full of rich, saturated colors and vibrant graphic patterns.
“a humorous and witty tone is revealed through a rich colour palette and eccentric details like the Swarovski Crystal peacock sculpture... woven together with plush textures to create a residential feel throughout.”
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set on historic Half Moon Street, you are steps from Green Park tube station and the cobbled lanes of Shepherd Market.
The rooms
Quarters range from snug cabin rooms to garden suites with leafy courtyards, accented with whimsical fox knockers and marble bathrooms.
Dogs stay too.
The Dandy Bar
Curved velvet banquettes sit beneath mirrored ceilings, where bartenders shake signature cocktails like the Mayfair Dandy.
Walking into The Mayfair Townhouse feels like entering a jewelery box – mirrored ceilings, golden front desks and a shiny peacock sculpture in the lobby...
At the table
Downstairs, the Club Room serves breakfast among booklined shelves, and the crimson Den provides a secluded corner for drinks.
How it began
Fifteen interconnected 1730s Georgian townhouses form this address on Half Moon Street, the literary setting for Oscar Wilde's most famous play.
