New venture in London's heart: Mandarin Oriental unveils its second hotel on Hanover Square

The Mandarin Oriental Mayfair, a new addition to London's bustling West End, has recently opened its doors to the public. Located on Hanover Square, this five-star hotel offers an unparalleled experience for its guests, combining luxury, art, and culinary excellence.

Designed by RSHP architects, the Mandarin Oriental Mayfair is a modern masterpiece, featuring an innovative Vierendeel frame and burnt red-brick 'baguettes'. The hotel boasts 50 guest rooms and suites, and 77 private residences, making it an ideal destination for both leisure and business travellers.

The interiors of the hotel are a work of art, designed by Studio Indigo. Each room is inspired by a jewellery box, offering a sense of elegance and refinement. The hotel's unique details include hand-painted silk wallpaper arranged according to feng shui, adding a touch of oriental charm to the space.

The Mandarin Oriental Mayfair's staff is renowned for unobtrusively going the extra mile to ensure guests have a memorable stay. The hotel offers a range of services to cater to every need, from nutritionists and physiotherapists to athlete-worthy NormaTex massages.

The spa, designed by Tokyo-based studio Curiosity, is a subterranean oasis. It features a 25-meter pool, various saunas, experience tubs, and showers, providing the perfect setting for relaxation and rejuvenation. Treatments at the spa include CBD, Tuscan, Swiss, vibrational, and oriental Qi rituals, ensuring guests can indulge in a truly unique spa experience.

The Mandarin Oriental Mayfair's culinary offerings are as impressive as its accommodations. The current head chef, Jihun Kim, leads the kitchen at the main restaurant, The Restaurant. Chef Kim blends traditional Korean techniques with modern precision, offering a Mediterranean concept influenced by Japanese and Korean culinary styles. Guests can also enjoy dishes by Chef Akira Back, who previously helmed the kitchen.

Annunciata Elwes, the director of contemporary art gallery TIN MAN ART and an award-winning journalist specializing in art, culture, and property, oversees the hotel's art collection. Before her current role, Annunciata was the News & Property Editor for our platform. Lancashire-born and living in Hampshire with a husband, two daughters, and a mischievous pug, Annunciata brings a personal touch to the hotel's art selection.

ABar, the hotel's adjoining bar, and Dosa, a second restaurant that opened in September, complete the Mandarin Oriental Mayfair's culinary offerings. Whether guests are seeking a casual drink or a fine dining experience, the hotel caters to every preference.

In summary, the Mandarin Oriental Mayfair offers a luxurious and unique experience for its guests. With its exceptional service, stunning interiors, and world-class dining, it is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a truly memorable stay in London. The rooms start from £1,000 per night, making it a premier choice for those who appreciate the finer things in life.
