"London’s oldest hotel retains an intimate, Old World atmosphere while catering to modern travelers: the property occupies a cluster of combined townhouses in Mayfair, where Olga Polizzi’s interiors foreground floral and nature motifs, elaborate chandeliers, and intricate mosaic floors. Public spaces feel special without being stuffy, and the lively Donovan Bar—decorated with Terence Donovan portraits—serves a curated cocktails program overseen by a noted bartender. Dining at the hotel includes a contemporary British restaurant offering dishes like Dover sole and battered haddock with chips, while the 115 individually styled rooms provide comfortable, classically inspired accommodations." - Sandra Ramani, Charu Suri, Katherine LaGrave, Jennifer Flowers, Laura Holt, Laura Dannen Redman
