"If being greeted by approximately 78 waitstaff during your short journey from the front door to your table doesn’t make you feel like you’re kind of a big deal, we’re not sure anything will. While it’s nice to think they might have mistaken you for a (very) distant relative of Beyoncé, that’s just how this white tablecloth, British-Mediterranean spot on the ground floor of this Grosvenor Square hotel rolls. With a lavish room that says it’s OK to order oysters and spend £19 on a bowl of cacio e pepe, The Twenty Two is the perfect place to dramatically roll your eyes when your friend asks for some ketchup with their chips." - rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
"A discreet boutique property on Grosvenor Square that reads like a private members’ hideaway, combining butler service and a members’ club atmosphere with Mediterranean-influenced British cooking and festive cocktails. Its intimate scale and central Mayfair location put guests within walking distance of Bond Street and Oxford Circus holiday lights for a quietly stylish seasonal stay." - Emily Zemler Emily Zemler Emily Zemler is a London-based writer and journalist who covers entertainment and travel.

"The Twenty Two has a restaurant that’s opened up to non-members in the bright and cheery main floor restaurant that serves the same delicious food as downstairs. Everything on the menu is great and the room is always alive with happy, stylish people from all over the globe. It quickly became one of Laurie’s and my favourite places to have dinner. They also do breakfast and lunch, so take your pick of when you want to try it and see what you think." - Edward Barsamian
"A public-facing dining room within the hotel that focuses on Mediterranean-influenced modern British cuisine, offering dishes such as sea bass crudo, a crisp artichoke salad with French beans, truffle roast chicken, grass-fed beef Wellington and a traditional Sunday roast served midday to mid-afternoon; reservations are available to the public, though priority is given to private-club members in the downstairs Vault Bar." - Lyndsey Matthews
"This previously residential Edwardian manor house has been turned into a 31-room hotel and member’s club by former Blakes owner Navid Mirtorabi, with the help of business partner Jamie Reuben, a scion of a family that owns swathes of Mayfair. In a marble-floored lobby that smells of churchy frankincense, guests are greeted by a cape-wearing doorman and a row of staff in Charlie Casely-Hayford suits. A pervasive friendliness cuts through the velveteen quality of a place that feels more like a louche Parisian hideaway than most smart new London hotels, which tend to fit into Hoxton or Heritage pigeonholes. Most rooms are understatedly plush, painted an elegant blue that’s on the sensual side of Edwardian; former Arbutus chef Alan Christie hits the key modern British notes in the dining room. Some of the prices are shiver-inducing, but then this is Mayfair, and The Twenty Two is offering something different— something sexier and more fun, which might just be a marker point for the area’s future.
