The Beaumont Mayfair Offers English Art Deco Elegance In London

Take a step back in time at the The Beaumont Mayfair in London.

Overlooking Brown Hart Gardens in the posh Mayfair neighborhood, the five-star property just completed a multi-million-pound renovation. Inside, the property boasts over 600 pieces of art, a new restaurant and 101 well-appointed guest rooms.

And after a decade in business, the Mayfair excels at hospitality in a space where art lovers, history buffs and Anglophiles can easily find themselves at home.

Staying at the Beaumont Mayfair

The Beaumont is easily accessible via the Elizabeth Line, which leaves directly from Heathrow Airport.

Guests enter the historic lobby to check in surrounded by artwork, and are welcomed with a complimentary beverage. Sharing your arrival time in advance may help with an early check in, when available, but a relaxation room at the spa or even a treatment can help off set any jet lag or travel woes before unpacking.

Mornings at the Beaumont start with a la carte breakfast at the 1920s inspired dining room, Gatsby’s Room, with a full English and its equivalent vegan version (think tofu scramble and plant-based sausage) are served along with porridge, breakfast sandwiches and more sweet and savory options. Later in the afternoon, Champagne Afternoon Tea consumes the space with luxurious trays of bite-sized treats.

Towards the end of the lobby, Le Magritte Bar (named for a prominently displayed painting by its namesake artist) is known for an extensive Bourbon collection, classic cocktails and a Cuban Cigar cabinet (purchases can be enjoyed on the outdoor terrace).

Nestled below the lobby, the Art Deco Hammam and Spa immerses guests in a black and white marble mosaic spa, inspired by the Turkish baths at the Royal Automobile Club in London and the original New York YMCA. A traditional warm marble hammam table, sauna and steam room, four treatment rooms, and a relaxation area are all available. Beauty therapy, hammam, massage treatments, reflexology and hairdressing services are all offered. A 24-hour gym is also available to all hotel guests.

Rooms, studios, and suites are available, with rates starting at $647 for a Classic Room, or $1,687 for a Classic Suite. Each room houses its own unique art collection, along with books, plus opulent marble bathrooms with soaking tubs.

The luxury property captures 1920s-era splendor with interiors designed by late French architect Thierry Despont.

Art lovers can take in paintings, prints and ceramics by contemporary artists including Rana Begum RA, Pablo Bronstein, Halima Cassell, Luke Edward Hall, Cornelia Parker and Bridget Riley, plus murals and site specific commissions by Nancy Cadogan, Rachel Gracey RE, Nigel Hall RA, Nicola Green and Katie Ponder.

The hotel itself is within walking distance of dozens of high end shops, including Selfridge’s, the historic department store, and Bond Street which is loaded with designer boutiques. Dozens of galleries are interspersed between the luxury shopping.
