Flemings Mayfair Hotel ★★★★★

Subtlety is the key to real elegance. Just ask the Flemings Mayfair *****. Situated in a pocket of the city where starred restaurants and luxury hotels are ten-a-penny, it takes something quite remarkable to stand out from the crowd. Formerly a row of thirteen handsome Georgian townhouses, the Flemings Mayfair was founded in 1851, a place that still rings with the grace and splendour of a time gone by. The sensation of sophistication is almost tangible in the air; real luxury begins here.

The friendly attitude of staff at the reception desk as you walk in set a high standard for the rest of your stay – their genuine concern for your stay (without being overbearing) is a clue as to why the hotel is so popular with a glittering cast of clientele. Black and white portraits of celebrities, taken at Flemings Mayfair, decorate the rooms and add a subtle touch of glitz and exclusivity. While this might ordinarily leave guests a little star struck, the supreme comfort that radiates through the hotel leaves you feeling right at home in this VIP sanctuary. Tully Filmer’s designs are like living masterpieces in shades of bronze and soft grey, creating an atmosphere that is at once impeccably elegant yet immensely welcoming.

The Flemings Mayfair ***** understands that true elegance goes far deeper than appearances alone; it is a fully-fledged, five sense experience. As part of its hotel-wide renovation, the hotel welcomed Shaun Rankin and his award-winning Jersey inspired cuisine to their ranks. EverythingOrmer Mayfair serves – from simple pleasures like fresh baked bread at breakfast to the Chef’s infamous dover sole – is a culinary triumph. Better still? The fact that all this is mere moments from London’s most iconic sights and prestigious restaurants. For the first and final word in quintessential London elegance, the Flemings Mayfair ***** is the only answer.
