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.

How we curate our hotel lists
Headed up by editor Joe Mackertich, our team at Time Out London spend their time reviewing hotels all over the Capital – new openings, old classics and everything in between – to bring you fresh, honest recommendations, all year round. Along with our pool of trusted hotel experts, every hotel on this list has been individually reviewed and selected for a reason: we’ve been there, we think it’s great and we’d genuinely recommend it. By the way, this article includes affiliate links. These links have no influence on our editorial content. For more information, see our affiliate guidelines.
