Mandarin Oriental Mayfair is one of London’s newest luxury hotels, offering just 50 rooms and suites on Hanover Square in the heart of Mayfair. After touring the hotel ourselves, we think its biggest strengths are its exceptional location, intimate scale, contemporary design, and impressive subterranean spa.
Compared with Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, the Mayfair property feels smaller, newer, and more design-focused. It’s particularly well suited to travelers who want Regent Street, Bond Street, Soho, and some of London’s best restaurants within easy walking distance.
We’ve personally visited many of London’s leading luxury hotels, including The Dorchester, The Lanesborough, The Peninsula London, The Chancery Rosewood, Six Senses London, 45 Park Lane, Brown’s Hotel, Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, The Savoy, and The Cadogan. In this review, we’ll explain where Mandarin Oriental Mayfair stands out, which rooms we’d choose, how it compares with other London luxury hotels, and who we think should stay here.
Is Mandarin Oriental Mayfair Right for You?
Mandarin Oriental Mayfair fills a specific niche in London’s luxury hotel scene. With just 50 rooms and suites, a prime Hanover Square location, and a formal approach to service, it feels much more intimate than many of the city’s larger luxury hotels. Its appeal comes from contemporary design, an excellent location, and a spa that gives guests a compelling reason to spend time inside the hotel rather than simply using it as a place to sleep.
We think it’s particularly well suited to first-time London visitors who want to be within walking distance of shopping, restaurants, and several of the city’s most interesting neighborhoods. It’s also a strong choice for returning visitors who appreciate Mandarin Oriental’s service style but prefer a smaller, more contemporary property than its Hyde Park counterpart.
That said, we wouldn’t recommend this hotel to everyone. Having visited several of London’s leading luxury hotels, we think it’s important to choose based on the kind of experience you want, rather than simply comparing room rates or star ratings.
Stay Here If…
– Location is your priority. Hanover Square puts you steps from Regent Street, with Bond Street, Soho, and multiple Underground stations within easy walking distance. If you want to shop, dine out, and explore London on foot, the location is difficult to beat.
– You prefer a smaller luxury hotel. With just 50 rooms and suites, Mandarin Oriental Mayfair has a quieter, more intimate atmosphere than London’s larger grand hotels. It feels more like a boutique property than a grand, traditional city hotel.
– You appreciate thoughtful design and art. From the dramatic green marble staircase to the rotating lobby artwork and the hotel’s Vivienne Westwood-designed signature fan, the interiors have plenty of personality without sacrificing the polished Mandarin Oriental aesthetic.
– A great hotel spa matters to you. The subterranean spa is one of the property’s strongest features. Its dark swimming pool, surrounded by tiny lights that resemble stars, is particularly memorable. We’d make time to experience it rather than treating it as an optional extra.
– You enjoy formal, attentive service. If you’ve stayed at Mandarin Oriental Lake Como or read our review, you’ll recognize a similar approach to hospitality. The atmosphere is polished, the public spaces are relatively quiet, and the experience feels deliberately refined.
Consider Something Else If…
– You prefer a casual, wellness-focused atmosphere. Six Senses London offers a very different experience, with natural materials, abundant greenery, and a more relaxed, wellness-focused atmosphere. We toured both hotels on the same trip, and the contrast was striking. Neither is inherently better, but they appeal to different travelers. Read our Six Senses London review for the full comparison.
– You want a classic London hotel with a grand sense of history. Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park offers a different personality, with its established Knightsbridge location, proximity to Hyde Park, and more traditional sense of London luxury. We’d choose between the two based on whether you prefer a contemporary Mayfair address or a storied hotel beside the park.
– You want London’s newest luxury showpiece, and budget is secondary. We also visited The Chancery Rosewood during our trip, and it offers a very different luxury experience at a meaningfully higher price point. Mandarin Oriental Mayfair may be the better fit for travelers who prioritize an intimate scale, Hanover Square location, and impressive spa facilities. We’ll explain the differences in more detail later in this review.
– You’re looking for a lively hotel with a bustling social scene throughout the property. Although the rooftop bar draws a crowd, the hotel itself remains more formal and relatively quiet. Travelers who prefer a consistently lively social scene throughout a hotel may find another London property better suited to their style.
Ultimately, Mandarin Oriental Mayfair knows what it is. It combines a prime location with intimate scale, distinctive design, formal service, and a memorable spa. If those are the qualities you’re looking for, we think it deserves serious consideration. If you prefer grand historic surroundings or a more casual atmosphere, another London hotel may suit you better.
Location: Hanover Square, Steps from Regent Street
If there’s one thing Mandarin Oriental Mayfair gets absolutely right, it’s the location. The hotel sits on Hanover Square in the heart of Mayfair, putting some of London’s best shopping, restaurants, and neighborhoods within easy walking distance. For travelers who want to explore the city on foot rather than spend half their trip in taxis, this is one of the property’s biggest advantages.
During our visit, we met a friend for shopping after leaving the hotel, and Regent Street was less than a five-minute walk away. Bond Street is also nearby, making it easy to browse designer boutiques, visit department stores, or continue to Oxford Street without planning around transport. Soho is also within walking distance, giving guests easy access to a different side of London, with its restaurants, cocktail bars, and more casual dining options.
The hotel is also well positioned for public transportation, with several Underground connections nearby. Bond Street station is particularly convenient for reaching other parts of London, including via the Elizabeth line. For international travelers arriving at Heathrow, that connection can make getting into central London considerably easier, although we’d confirm the most convenient station entrance and route based on your arrival point and luggage.
Our Honest Take on the Location
We think this is one of London’s best locations for travelers who want shopping, dining, and sightseeing to fit naturally into their day. You can spend the morning shopping, return to your room to relax before dinner, and head back out in the evening without coordinating transportation for every outing.
It’s also a particularly strong choice for a first visit to London. While the city is spread out and no single hotel puts every major attraction on your doorstep, staying in Mayfair makes it easy to explore several central neighborhoods while enjoying a quieter base to return to at the end of the day.
The location also sets Mandarin Oriental Mayfair apart from the brand’s other London property. Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park suits travelers who want to be near the park and Knightsbridge, with a more established, traditional London setting. Mandarin Oriental Mayfair is the better fit if your priorities are designer shopping, restaurants, and having the energy of Mayfair and Soho close by.
Arrival, the Lobby, and the Art
One of the first things we noticed about Mandarin Oriental Mayfair is how different it feels from London’s larger luxury hotels. The lobby is intimate rather than grand, and the atmosphere is immediately formal and understated. There isn’t an enormous reception hall or a dramatic display designed to overwhelm you on arrival. Instead, the hotel makes its impression through the details, particularly the art, materials, and architectural features woven throughout the space.
The lobby is divided into two sections: one for hotel guests and one for the private residences. This arrangement reflects the property’s dual identity as both a hotel and a residential development. The overall atmosphere remains quiet and polished, which feels consistent with the hotel’s approach to luxury.
The Green Marble Staircase
The staircase is arguably the hotel’s most recognizable design feature. Rich green marble wraps around the dramatic structure, creating a striking contrast with the lobby’s more restrained finishes. The hotel team told us the marble is the last of its kind in the world, a remarkable detail that makes the staircase feel even more distinctive.
The lobby ceiling installation is another highlight and, personally, our favorite design detail in the entire hotel. It adds movement and visual interest without making the relatively small lobby feel crowded. It also shows how Mandarin Oriental Mayfair uses art and architecture to create character rather than relying on sheer scale.
Art That Gives the Hotel Its Own Identity
Art plays a significant role throughout the property. Mandarin Oriental works with the Mayfair Design District and Opera Gallery, and many lobby pieces rotate regularly. That means the collection can evolve over time, giving returning guests something new to discover.
Every Mandarin Oriental hotel also displays its own signature fan, and the Mayfair property has a particularly meaningful example designed by Vivienne Westwood. According to the story shared during our visit, it was the final artwork she created before her death. It thoughtfully connects the hotel, British design, and one of the country’s most influential fashion designers.
We appreciate that the art program feels integrated into the property rather than treated as an afterthought. The artwork, marble, lighting, and architectural details all contribute to a consistent design identity. Despite being a relatively new hotel, Mandarin Oriental Mayfair already feels distinctive, with a clear design identity of its own.
A Different Kind of Mandarin Oriental
The design also reflects the brand’s familiar combination of contemporary interiors and Asian influences, balanced with British details. Having also visited Mandarin Oriental Lake Como, we recognized a similar sense of formality in the service and public spaces. Both properties feel polished and deliberate, with an atmosphere that encourages guests to slow down rather than seek constant activity.
That said, Mandarin Oriental Mayfair has its own personality. Its smaller scale feels more intimate, while the contemporary architecture and art collection make it distinctly urban. It’s less about the grandeur of a traditional London hotel and more about creating a carefully considered luxury experience in the middle of Mayfair.
If you prefer bright, bustling public spaces and a more casual approach to luxury, this may not be your ideal hotel. But if you appreciate thoughtful design, distinctive materials, and an atmosphere that feels polished without being overly theatrical, there’s plenty to admire here.
One practical note: the hotel maintains a photography policy in the lobby, so we recommend checking with the team before photographing public spaces.
Mandarin Oriental Mayfair Rooms and Suites: Three Categories We Toured
With just 50 rooms and suites, Mandarin Oriental Mayfair feels closer to a boutique luxury hotel than one of London’s traditional grand properties. The accommodations continue the design language found throughout the public spaces, blending contemporary interiors and Asian influences with distinctly British touches. The result feels polished and cohesive without being overly traditional.
During our visit, we toured three categories: the Deluxe Room, Mayfair Suite, and Mayfair Penthouse. Each offers a different experience, from a well-designed entry-level room to a substantial residential-style suite and a top-tier accommodation with impressive views across London.
Deluxe Room: Best Entry-Level Option
The Deluxe Room was a pleasant surprise in terms of space. European city hotels have a reputation for feeling cramped, especially in entry-level categories, but this room felt genuinely spacious by comparison, starting at 355 sq. ft.
One of our favorite details was the open vanity positioned between the bathroom and bedroom. Rather than completely separating the two spaces, the layout creates a more open feel while making the vanity a feature in its own right. The bathroom marble was another highlight, with beautiful finishes that immediately caught our attention.
For travelers who want to experience the hotel without moving into suite territory, we think the Deluxe Room is a strong starting point. You still get the property’s design identity and convenient Mayfair location without necessarily paying for additional living space you may not use.
Mayfair Suite: Best for More Space
The Mayfair Suite is a substantial step up in space, starting at 1,517 sq. ft. It feels much more like a private residence than a standard hotel room, with a full-size living room and its own kitchen. For longer stays, or for travelers who want somewhere to relax or entertain beyond the bedroom, that extra space makes a meaningful difference.
The bathroom design also sets this category apart. While the Deluxe Room features lighter marble, the Mayfair Suite introduces dark red marble, creating a much moodier look. It’s a striking contrast and one of the more distinctive details we noticed while touring the different accommodations.
We’d consider the Mayfair Suite particularly appealing for travelers planning an extended London stay, couples who want separate living and sleeping areas, or anyone who prefers the comfort of a residential-style layout. The kitchen and full living room give the accommodation a different character from a conventional hotel suite.
Mayfair Penthouse: Best for Families and Special Occasions
At over 5,000 sq. ft., the Mayfair Penthouse is the clear showstopper of the three accommodations we toured. The 180-degree views stretch toward Big Ben and the London Eye, giving the suite a memorable sense of place and a direct connection to the city beyond the hotel.
There was some visible construction in the surrounding skyline during our visit. Honestly, this didn’t bother us. London is a constantly evolving city, and it’s difficult to find a skyline view that doesn’t include a crane somewhere. We’d rather have the views and the location than expect an entirely unobstructed cityscape.
One of the most interesting details was the artwork throughout the suite, which was personally created by the property’s owner. It’s an unexpected touch that makes the space feel more personal and gives the suite a story beyond its size and views.
As you’d expect from the hotel’s top accommodation, the 4-bedroom Penthouse Suite feels designed for travelers who want a more exclusive experience. The combination of London views, distinctive artwork, and the hotel’s intimate setting makes it particularly appealing for a special occasion or a stay where the accommodation itself is an important part of the trip.
Which Room Category Would We Choose?
The right choice depends on how you plan to use the hotel.
If you’re spending most of your time exploring London and primarily want a beautiful, comfortable room in an exceptional location, we’d start with the Deluxe Room. Its generous space and striking bathroom finishes make it a compelling entry point.
If you’re staying several nights or want a separate living area, the suites are a considerable upgrade from the starting room categories. The kitchen and full-size living room make it feel much more residential, while the dark red marble bathrooms give it a distinct design identity.
The multi-bedroom suites are for travelers who want the most impressive accommodation of the three categories, particularly those who value city views and one-of-a-kind details.
All rooms include Natura Bissé Bathroom Products, a Dyson hair dryer, a Nespresso machine, a GHD straightener, a yoga mat, and a Bluetooth speaker.
How Much Do Rooms at Mandarin Oriental Mayfair Cost?
Rates generally start around $1,000 per night, but pricing varies considerably by season, room category, and availability. January and February tend to be among the more affordable months, so winter is worth considering if you’d like to experience the hotel at a lower rate.
We’d verify current pricing directly before booking, as rates can change substantially between travel dates. With only 50 rooms and suites, availability is also worth considering if you have your heart set on a particular category.
This is where working with a travel advisor can be particularly helpful. Having toured the Deluxe Room, Mayfair Suite, and Penthouse in person, we can explain the differences between the categories and help you decide whether the added space and features justify the price difference for your trip.

Dining at Mandarin Oriental Mayfair
Dining at Mandarin Oriental Mayfair centers on Atrium Restaurant, Mazarine, and 24-hour in-room dining.
Atrium Restaurant
Atrium Restaurant is the hotel’s main dining venue, set beneath a dramatic triple-height skylight alongside the striking green marble staircase. It serves breakfast and lunch and is a natural choice for an easy meal without leaving the hotel.
Breakfast includes classics such as Eggs Benedict and Buttermilk Pancakes, alongside Labneh Shakshuka with Za’atar Focaccia and the signature Tiramisu Croffle. At lunch, the menu shifts to crudos, artisanal pizzettas, Lobster Spaghetti, Ibérico Pork Chop, and Harissa Roasted Salmon.
View the Atrium Restaurant menus here:
Pro Tip: When you book your stay at Mandarin Oriental Mayfair with us, breakfast at Atrium is included daily for two guests.
Mazarine
Located on Hanover Square next to the hotel, Mazarine offers a more formal dining experience centered around seafood and classical French techniques. Its intimate setting makes it especially appealing for lunch or dinner when you want a destination restaurant close to the hotel.
View the menu at Mazarine here.
In-Room Dining
The hotel’s in-room dining service is available 24 hours a day, with selections from Atrium alongside familiar favorites, lighter dishes, and more substantial options. A separate Young Fans menu is also available for younger guests.
This is particularly useful for early mornings, late arrivals, or evenings when you’d rather stay in.
View the in-room dining menu.
Our Take on Dining at Mandarin Oriental Mayfair
We’d use Atrium for breakfast or a relaxed lunch and consider Mazarine for dinner, particularly if you enjoy French cuisine and seafood. Together, they offer plenty of variety, especially with so many excellent restaurants within walking distance in Mayfair.
The Rooftop Bar at Mandarin Oriental Mayfair
Even if you’re not staying at Mandarin Oriental Mayfair, we’d recommend visiting Hanover Bar, the hotel’s rooftop dining and bar experience. It offers a noticeably livelier atmosphere than the quiet, formal interiors downstairs.
Getting there is part of the experience. Guests take a glass elevator to the rooftop, which makes for a memorable arrival, unless, like us, you’re afraid of heights!
The rooftop is open to the public and became noticeably busier throughout the afternoon and evening during our visit. If you’re staying at the hotel, we think it’s an especially appealing spot for a pre-dinner drink before heading out into Mayfair.
Cocktails Inspired by London at Hanover Bar
We particularly liked how the cocktail menu reflects what’s happening around London. During our June visit, drinks drew inspiration from Wimbledon and Formula 1, giving the menu a seasonal connection to the city.
You can view the current cocktail menu for the rooftop bar here.
Selections change, so we recommend checking the current cocktail menu before visiting.
Is the Rooftop Worth Visiting?
We think so, particularly if you’re already spending time in Mayfair. The rooftop gives the hotel a more social side and offers a reason to visit even if you’re staying elsewhere.
We’d recommend stopping in for a pre-dinner drink and confirming current opening hours and reservation requirements in advance, particularly during busier periods.
The Spa at Mandarin Oriental Mayfair: The Star-Lit Pool Below Mayfair
The spa is one of Mandarin Oriental Mayfair’s strongest selling points. Located below street level, it feels completely removed from the busy streets above, offering a welcome contrast to the shopping, restaurants, and activity surrounding the hotel.
The most famous feature is the swimming pool, Mayfair’s longest indoor swimming pool. It’s dark, almost black, with tiny lights surrounding it that resemble stars reflected across the water. We didn’t take photos during our visit because other guests were using the facilities, but it’s one of the more memorable hotel pools we’ve seen. The design feels distinctive without being overly theatrical, and it’s easy to see why the spa deserves a place on the hotel’s highlights list.
What You’ll Find at the Spa
Facilities include a sauna, steam room, vitality pools, and the main indoor swimming pool. Together, they make this more than a place to book a treatment between sightseeing and dinner.
If you’re interested in treatments, we’d recommend reviewing the menu before arrival so you can plan around your sightseeing schedule.
You can view the Mandarin Oriental Mayfair spa menu with pricing here.
Our Honest Take on the Spa
Having visited several of London’s newest luxury hotels on the same trip, we think Mandarin Oriental Mayfair’s spa is one of the property’s strongest differentiators. The pool and wellness facilities stood out even among the other luxury hotels we toured, making this a particularly compelling choice for travelers who prioritize spa time as part of their stay.
We recommend setting aside dedicated time for the spa rather than treating it as an amenity you’ll use only if you have a spare hour. The pool is a memorable feature, and the facilities offer a compelling reason to spend time at the hotel beyond your room.
Mandarin Oriental Mayfair vs. Other 5-Star Luxury Hotels in London
Having personally toured each of these hotels, we’d choose between them based on location, atmosphere, design, spa facilities, and overall value rather than star rating alone. Here’s how we’d choose between it and four other properties we’ve visited.
Mandarin Oriental Mayfair vs. Six Senses London
These two hotels offer very different experiences. Mandarin Oriental Mayfair is formal, polished, and design-focused, while Six Senses London is more casual, with a stronger emphasis on wellness, natural materials, and greenery.
We’d choose Mandarin Oriental Mayfair for its prime Mayfair location and traditional service style. We’d choose Six Senses for a more relaxed, wellness-oriented stay.
Read our Six Senses London review here.
Mandarin Oriental Mayfair vs. Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park
The biggest difference is location and atmosphere. Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park is the more established London address, with a traditional setting beside the park in Knightsbridge. Mandarin Oriental Mayfair is newer, smaller, and more contemporary, with Regent Street, Bond Street, and Soho nearby.
We’d choose Hyde Park for its classic London setting and Mayfair for shopping, restaurants, and boutique-style intimacy.
Mandarin Oriental Mayfair vs. The Lanesborough
The Lanesborough offers a much more traditional take on London luxury, with grand interiors and a distinctly British atmosphere in Knightsbridge. Mandarin Oriental Mayfair feels more contemporary, with Asian design influences, a smaller footprint, and a more understated aesthetic.
We’d choose The Lanesborough for classic British grandeur and Mandarin Oriental Mayfair for contemporary design, a central shopping location, and its memorable spa.
Read our full review of The Lanesborough here.
Mandarin Oriental Mayfair vs. The Peninsula London
The Peninsula London offers a grander hotel experience, with expansive public spaces and a more traditional sense of occasion in Belgravia. Mandarin Oriental Mayfair feels more intimate and understated, with just 50 rooms and suites, and is better suited to exploring Mayfair and Soho on foot.
The Peninsula may appeal more to travelers seeking a grand, traditional full-service luxury experience, while Mandarin Oriental Mayfair is particularly well suited to those who value intimate scale, shopping access, and spa facilities.
Read our full review of The Peninsula London on our blog.
Mandarin Oriental Mayfair vs. The Chancery Rosewood
The Chancery Rosewood and Mandarin Oriental Mayfair offer two distinct takes on contemporary London luxury, with The Chancery positioned at a meaningfully higher price point. Mandarin Oriental Mayfair stands out for its intimate scale, Hanover Square location, and impressive spa, while the right choice ultimately depends on which hotel’s design, atmosphere, and facilities best suit your stay. The right choice ultimately depends on which hotel’s design, atmosphere, and facilities best suit your stay.
When Is the Best Time to Stay at Mandarin Oriental Mayfair?
Mandarin Oriental Mayfair is a year-round hotel, and because some of its strongest features are indoors, including the spa, restaurants, and art-filled public spaces, we wouldn’t hesitate to consider it for a winter trip.
The Best Time to Stay at Mandarin Oriental Mayfair
Mandarin Oriental Mayfair works particularly well year-round because many of its strongest features, including the spa, dining, and art-filled interiors, are indoors. January and February can offer better value, while summer brings a livelier London atmosphere and events such as Wimbledon. December is especially festive in Mayfair, although holiday demand can mean significantly higher rates.
If your dates are flexible, we recommend comparing rates across several weeks before booking.
