The Beaumont Mayfair has emerged from an artfully executed renovation with its distinctive spirit not just preserved, but enhanced. The transformation, completed last fall, has expanded this intimate hotel to 101 rooms while retaining the boutique character that makes it special. Even the building's exterior has been refreshed, with a new coat of paint in refined signature colors that highlights its classical lines.
The Beaumont Mayfair's location captures everything that makes Mayfair London's most compelling neighborhood. The peaceful Brown Hart Gardens lie just outside, while the city's cultural landmarks beckon nearby. The National Gallery's masterpieces, Bond Street's elegant boutiques, and Hyde Park's scenic paths are all within easy reach. For local excursions, the hotel's handsome new Bentley Mulsanne V8 awaits, offering guests a stylish way to explore the surrounding streets.
Step into any of the hotel's rooms or suites, and you'll discover spaces that feel both grand and intimate. Each one tells its own story through a personally curated collection of original artwork, vintage prints, and beautifully bound books that beg to be browsed. Modern luxuries – heated bathroom floors, rain showers, and beds that strike the perfect balance between soft and supportive – complement the Art Deco touches perfectly. Generous hallways and clever sliding doors create an apartment-like flow, while large wardrobes and thoughtful lighting make each space feel like a true pied-à-terre.
Among these distinctive accommodations, one stands apart: ROOM, a unique architectural suite designed by sculptor Antony Gormley. The bedroom occupies the interior of a striking stainless steel sculpture that dominates the hotel's entrance, taking the form of a giant crouching figure based on the artist's body. Inside, dark oak-clad walls create an intimate sleeping chamber, reached by ascending nine white marble steps. This masterful fusion of art and architecture offers guests the rare opportunity to sleep within a contemporary masterpiece.
The dining and drinking spaces each capture a different mood of the hotel's personality. The Colony Grill pulses with sophisticated energy, where Chef Brendan Fyldes' transatlantic menu bridges American classics with European refinement. Le Magritte Bar, an intimate jewel box of a space, serves classic cocktails under the watchful gaze of its namesake Surrealist masterpiece. A lovely terrace overlooking Brown Hart Gardens provides an idyllic setting for alfresco moments, while The Gatsby Room channels 1920s glamour with live piano music accompanying award-winning afternoon tea service.
A hidden gem awaits below: an intimate spa featuring a private Hammam, where traditional heat treatments and contemporary therapies offer a peaceful retreat from the city's energy.
The Beaumont Mayfair achieves something remarkable: a space that feels both grounded in history and absolutely current, where bold modernist design and authentic comfort coexist naturally. It's a hotel that doesn't need to announce itself – it simply is.
