"A Mayfair favorite that marries classic English sensibility with contemporary touches: the hotel’s polished wood staircases and mahogany-lined walls coexist with modern art and a meditative Tadao Ando–designed water feature called Silence. The art-deco bar—famous for its martini trolley and a long-running international reputation—anchors the social scene, while guestrooms offer either classic or contemporary styling, some with four-poster beds or sleek built-in bookshelves. A standout urban Aman Spa delivers bespoke holistic treatments across several rooms, and the property’s attention to discreet, highly polished service keeps it a long-standing local and visitor favorite." - Sandra Ramani, Charu Suri, Katherine LaGrave, Jennifer Flowers, Laura Holt, Laura Dannen Redman
