Vivienne Westwood's final design

The late punk fashion icon designed the signature fan for Mandarin Oriental Mayfair, her last project before passing away in 2022 at age 81. It was the first fan made entirely in Britain in 70 years.

The fan features blue and red silhouettes of a man and woman dancing before Hanover Square, where the hotel opened in 2024. The square is deliberately upside-down to fit the fan's shape.

A boutique alternative to Hyde Park

London already had Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, so Mayfair was designed as a quieter, more intimate property that blends into its wealthy neighbourhood rather than dominating it architecturally.

More residences than guest rooms

The hotel has 77 residences but only 50 rooms and suites for visitors, positioning it as a luxury home from home rather than a grand hotel for tourists.

Spa and sanctuary spaces

The basement spa features a stylishly lit swimming pool, vitality pools, steam room and sauna. Upstairs sits the Atrium Restaurant with an iconic spiral staircase and Asian fusion menu.

Jazz bar and rooftop cocktails

Esmeralda's offers late-night jazz, while the rooftop Hanover Bar serves cocktails inspired by the local area with views of the London skyline.

The Mayfair suite's interior spectacle

The signature suite features hand-painted silk wallpaper by de Gournay depicting birds and butterflies, a polished red marble kitchen, and a walk-in wardrobe that rivals the bedroom itself.

“The view is within, not without.”

Mazarine serves elevated French classics

The street-level restaurant offers upmarket French cuisine centred on seafood, including the famous Croque Mazarine with black truffle and blue lobster.

Luxury for everyday Mayfair life

At from one thousand pounds a night, the hotel caters to those nipping out to Savile Row and upmarket boutiques, offering a sanctuary that feels like a cosy nest rather than a grand statement.
