The best hotels to stay in Mayfair for 2026

This eco-luxury brand opened its London property in 2023, and all the little touches make it one of the most heavenly spots in Mayfair to lay your head. Think handwritten notes at turndown, plants at every turn and yoga mats in each room (along with the comfiest bathrobe of all time). You don't even realise you're being green, even if stepping into the foyer feels not exactly dissimilar from a forest. The main restaurant, Dovetale, is led by Tom Sellers, whose London Restaurant Story has two Michelin stars. And it’s every bit as good as you’d hope.

Address: 3 Berkeley St, London

Price: starting from £500 per night

There are probably over a thousand hotels in London, but only eight of them hold the coveted Three Michelin Keys. The Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane is one of that elite group – and boy does it live up to expectation. It’s grand without being loud, elegant without being stuffy, and clearly designed for the modern traveller who values comfort and convenience over pomp. The rooftop spa and lounge are a highlight in their own right, offering sweeping views of Hyde Park and Westminster. Even if you’re not a spa person, it’s one of those places that will make you stop and stare.

Address: Hamilton Place, Park Lane, W1J 7DR

Price: From £750 per room

Closest transport: Hyde Park Corner is a three-minute walk 

If shimmering Art Deco glamour is your bag, Claridge’s has it in shedloads, with elegant modern touches and intuitive, highly tailored service. Obviously, it is also grounded in tradition. Unlike many luxury hotels, it pulls off high-end glamour with an alarmingly easy-going, joyful expression, helped by staff whose affection for the hotel is infectious. The 269 rooms are as comfy and elegant as you'd imagine, while a subterranean spa, swanky gym and excellent restaurants add to the appeal. We'd even argue it is good value for money.

When you think of Mayfair, it is not long before the high glam Dorcester comes to mind. When you book a room at this illustrious spot, you'll find luxurious white marble bathrooms, fluffy bathrobes, and scenic views across Hyde Park.

Closest transport: Hyde Park Corner is an eight-minute walk

Mayfair isn’t especially known for little boutique-y numbers, and that’s where the Twenty Two comes in. Tucked at the corner of grand Grosvenor Square, the mirrored lobby of The Twenty Two offers an intimate welcome. The doors are swept open by the cloaked doormen who look like suave Sherlock Holmeses, while the relaxed reception staff give off Soho House vibes. This all makes sense when you know that The Twenty Two is part hotel, part members’ club. With only 31 rooms and suites, this is definitely one of Mayfair’s smaller hotels but that is part of its appeal. Oscar Wilde ev even once lived here. If it was good enough for Wilde, it's good enough for us.

Want to get the London look, eh? Well, Nobu puts you right in the thick of it. In many ways, Nobu Portman Square is completely what you’d expect. Professionals with blindingly shiny watches and rich girl hair balance laptops in the lobby, typing last-minute emails before getting a martini top-up. But it certainly lives up to the hype with its muted luxury approach that effortlessly blends Japanese sophistication with functionality. And when you're not bumping into Khloë Kardashian in the loo (we love Koko), you can enjoy the culinary delights of chef namesake Nobu Matsuhisa, where menu classics like the black cod miso, Matsuhisa sashimi salad and A5 wagyu beef are not to be passed up on.
