The hotel has stood at the centre of Mayfair Village since the early part of the 19th century. Guests climb a historic staircase beneath original artworks, and the interiors draw on British and international art and design. Bond Street, Hyde Park and the boutiques of Mount Street are moments away, and the hotel keeps its own gallery of photography and artwork.
Suites and rooms combine traditional detail with modern comfort, and every guest has a butler. Several suites have private terraces above the skyline, and the larger suites include a two-bedroom suite filled with natural light and original artworks. A terrace suite looks along a hedged roof terrace over the Mayfair rooftops.
Hélène Darroze at The Connaught holds three Michelin stars, with menus built on seasonal produce from the farmers, makers and growers she selects, and a chef's table inside the kitchen. Jean-Georges at The Connaught serves British favourites with Asian inspiration from breakfast through supper. The Connaught Grill is a bar and grill with a rosewood-clad approach, The Red Room is an intimate wine bar behind a velvet curtain, and the Coburg Bar overlooks Carlos Place with rare spirits. The Connaught Bar has platinum-leaf walls, Cubist-inspired design and a Martini Trolley, and Master Pâtissier Nicolas Rouzaud bakes for the hotel.
Aman Spa lies deep within the building, with a pool and treatment rooms. A cigar merchant, private chauffeurs and Flexjet helicopter transfers complete the services.
It suits travellers who want a discreet Mayfair address, serious food and a butler, close to the shops of Bond Street. Heathrow is 45 minutes by car, and Bond Street station is a five-minute walk.
