The Washington Mayfair Hotel, WorldHotels Distinctive

Mayfair has been London's address of quiet wealth for three centuries, all garden squares, gentlemen's clubs and discreet luxury between Hyde Park and Piccadilly.

The Washington Mayfair Hotel sits right in it on Curzon Street, a handsome Art Deco building dating from 1913 whose period detail still sets the tone the moment you arrive. The hotel keeps the elegance of its era while delivering the comfort of today, a refined and central base that feels genuinely of its neighbourhood rather than dropped into it. The mood is calm and grown-up, a retreat from the city even while sitting at its heart, the kind of place that rewards a long breakfast and an unhurried return at the end of the day. The location is the prize. Green Park and the open space of Hyde Park are a short stroll away, the shops of Bond Street and the galleries of the Royal Academy close by, and the restaurants of Shepherd Market tucked just around the corner. Buckingham Palace, Piccadilly and the West End are all within an easy walk. Few corners of London combine green calm and grand surroundings so well, or put so much of the city within reach on foot. Book your stay at The Washington Mayfair Hotel, WorldHotels Distinctive and let Mayfair work its quiet magic.
