The house
MarriottMercantile guild den

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Wallpaper* and AFAR.
It takes its visual inspiration from the romance of an era when business travel was quite literally an adventure.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set along historic Garlick Hill, the property is five minutes on foot from Mansion House, St Paul's Cathedral, and the Thames.
The rooms
Plush velvet headboards and needle-and-thread wallpaper dress the rooms, complemented by bespoke leather hardware and colorful ceramic tiles in the bathrooms.
The gym
The subterranean fitness studio stays open around the clock with Life Fitness cardio machines, rowers, and free weights.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Mercer Roof Terrace
The glass orangery opens onto an open-air terrace, where British dishes emerge from an on-site charcoal oven.
Dexter Moran Associates have dressed the 92 rooms and public spaces in fine silk, textiles and leather, old trading maps and ceramic tiles.
At the table
Subterranean speakeasy Do Not Disturb pours vintage cocktails under hand-beaded portraits, and Vintry Kitchen serves wine and charcuterie.
How it began
The name references two medieval trade guilds, honoring the wine merchants of Vintry and the luxury fabric sellers of Mercer.
