The New Mayfair Address

The WestDill Mayfair

The group behind The Wolseley is making its first foray into London’s hotel scene with The WestDill Mayfair, set to open almost directly opposite the iconic Art Deco restaurant on Piccadilly. Opening in Q4 2026 as the UK debut of Minor Hotels’ new Colbert Collection, the five-star, 50-room property will transform a Grade II-listed former NatWest bank on the corner of Piccadilly and Albemarle Street into an intimate, design-led stay. Expect six floors of rooms and suites, alongside a destination restaurant and bar, with the hotel bringing a new layer of hospitality to one of Mayfair’s most coveted addresses.

The Luxury Spa Experience

Six Senses London

Six Senses London has brought its signature wellness philosophy to The Whiteley in Bayswater, the Grade II-listed former shopping centre. The hotel offers 109 rooms and suites, many with private terraces, alongside a 2,300 sq m spa featuring cryotherapy, a magnesium pool, hammam, infrared sauna and Biohack Recovery Lounge. There’s also a longevity clinic, a 325 sq m fitness centre and the brand’s first Six Senses Place members’ club, while dining spans Whiteley’s Kitchen, Bar and Café. Expect the same holistic approach to wellness and sustainability that Six Senses is known for, but with a distinctly London setting.

The Chic Understated Stay

The Shepard Mayfair

Opening on 1st September, The Shepherd Mayfair is a smart and chic boutique hotel putting a more understated spin on luxury in London’s West End. Set in the intimate surroundings of Shepherd Market, the 82-room property has been designed as a contemporary interpretation of Mayfair’s historic mansions, with elegant wood and rich berry-tone interiors and a distinctly residential feel. Dining is a big part of the experience, with Fayre, the hotel’s all-day restaurant, inspired by the great dining rooms of London and serving seasonal British produce from breakfast through to dinner. For something a little more discreet, head downstairs to Teddy’s, a hidden late-night cocktail bar designed for lingering over drinks.

The Modern Mayfair Retreat

Mandarin Oriental Mayfair

The newer of Mandarin Oriental’s two London hotels, Mandarin Oriental Mayfair offers a contemporary alternative to its more traditional Hyde Park sister. Opened in 2024 on historic Hanover Square, the boutique property has a distinctly modern feel, with 50 rooms and suites, a beautiful state-of-the-art spa and a rooftop bar overlooking Mayfair. Its location is another major draw: you’re within easy walking distance of New Bond Street, Savile Row and some of the London’s best shopping, making it an ideal base for an autumn weekend in London.

The All-Suite Hotel

The Emory

For something a little more discreet, The Emory in Knightsbridge offers a refined take on modern luxury. Part of the Maybourne collection, it is London’s first all-suite hotel, with just 61 suites, each designed by a selection of leading international names including André Fu, Patricia Urquiola and Alexandra Champalimaud. Nestled beside Hyde Park, the hotel feels private despite its central location, while guests can make use of Surrenne, its four-floor wellbeing and longevity club, as well as Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s abc kitchens and The Emory Rooftop Bar, where panoramic city views come with cocktails.

The Cool Fitzrovia Hideout

The Newman

The Newman is a boutique hotel in Fitzrovia that feels more like a stylish London residence than a traditional luxury hotel. Its design-led interiors and central location – just a short walk away from Soho and Oxford Circus – make it a particularly appealing base for an autumn city break. There’s Brasserie Angelica, a contemporary European brasserie serving from breakfast through to dinner, plus the intimate Gambit Bar tucked beneath the hotel for cocktails and late-night drinks. The real draw, though, is the dedicated wellness floor, where a Nordic-inspired circuit includes a hydrotherapy pool, sauna, steam room, ice lounge and halotherapy salt room

The Central London Gem

The Zetter Bloomsbury

The Zetter Bloomsbury is the newest addition to the boutique hotel group, set across six beautifully restored Georgian townhouses directly opposite the British Museum. The 68-room property is wonderfully eccentric, with Georgian-inspired interiors designed by London-based design studio Thurstan, layered with antiques, vintage lighting, patterned fabrics and over 2,000 antiques and artefacts. There is also a peaceful garden and gym, while The Parlour is the place to settle in for coffee, afternoon drinks or cocktails alongside small plates. Its mix of old-world charm, thoughtful design and unbeatable Bloomsbury location makes it a particularly distinctive choice for your next London trip.
