If you’ve got cash to splash, there’s nowhere better to check in than Mayfair. London’s glitziest neighbourhood is packed with five-star hotels where Michelin-starred restaurants, marble bathrooms and impossibly attentive service come as standard. Step outside and you’ll find yourself within walking distance of Green Park, Bond Street, Piccadilly and Soho, plus some of London’s finest restaurants, bars and luxury shops. For London’s glamorous side, there’s nowhere better. Here are our favourite hotels. 

📍 Updated for 2026: One of our favourite hotel openings of last year has made it into our top spot for 2026 – the very slick (and very green) 1 Hotel Mayfair.

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

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.

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. Alain Ducasse serves fine French cuisine with three Michelin stars, and indulgent afternoon teas are served in The Promenade. Even their indulgent spa has its own blissful spot for light bites or tea – the aptly named Spatisserie.

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.

Address: 22 Grosvenor Square, W1K 6LF

Price: From £450 per night

Closest transport: Bond Street is a five-minute walk

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. 

Address: 22 Portman Square, W1H 7BG

Price: From £335 per night
