"London's premier grand dame: very old-school, with clubby and traditional feel in the heart of Mayfair."

The Connaught by Gemma Pitcher


The Connaught has an old English atmosphere with a traditional feel and is one of London’s premier Grand Dames. This boutique hotel is the kind of place where everybody knows your name - and what you drink, what time you like to dine, what paper you prefer in the morning and quite probably your inside leg measurement as well.

Newer, younger staff are bringing a more modern touch to the atmosphere, but the Connaught is still the best place to choose when seeking out traditional English luxury.

The facilities

The foyer, with its mahogany staircase, is exquisite and helps to create the traditional atmosphere of this boutique hotel. The Michelin-starred restaurant and exquisite service are fantastic.

The rooms

Of the Connaught's 92 rooms, the guests are regulars who probably inherited their room keys from their great-grandfathers because until a few years ago the boutique hotel was a private club.

Decor at the boutique hotel is contemporary-meets-classic: inoffensively modern furniture sits alongside Edwardian fireplaces and restored oil paintings. The bathrooms have solid nickel taps and built-in Deco vanity units. Despite the rooms' references to the past, colour tones are light and fresh: mint green, slate, cream and silver. Flat screen televisions provide more modern comfort.
