Just steps away from Green Park, on the famous Berkeley Street in the heart of London's iconic Mayfair, the 1 Hotel Mayfair prides itself on its luxury hospitality credentials. Perfectly positioned for exploring London, it combines the best of all worlds - luxury, wellbeing, sustainability and urban chic.
Designed to reduce CO2 emissions, from the moment you step in the door of 1 Hotel Mayfair you're surrounded by living green walls and more than 1300 plants, trees and shrubs. Naturally, the rooms and suites are an ode to chic interior design, but they're also where your wellbeing journey begins. Enjoy view of the city skyline in tranquil spaces forged of oak flooring, hand-chiselled stone and soothing colours, and even choose to take things up a notch thanks to the hotel's partnership with HigherDose, which means you can hire a sauna blanket and PEMF Mat to use in your room.
Food is served at the hotel's main restaurant, Dovetail, where Michelin-starred Chef Tom Sellers leads the team in a menu of seasonal, organic and locally sourced fare. Enjoy an aperitif or two at Dover Yard, where cocktails are served overlooking a lush botanical courtyard, and you can enjoy a background DJ set in the evening. There's even the lobby bar and cafe, Neighbours, for cold-pressed juices and fair-trade coffee.
Grab your trainers and take to one of their running routes in the nearby Royal Parks or workout in the 24/7 gym - wellness at 1 Hotel Mayfair is a multifaceted experience. While there's no pool, there's space to unwind from room to relaxation thanks to The Bamford Wellness Spa. Meanwhile, an on-site retail space means you can take a little of the feel-good-factor home with you.
Spa therapies link with the hotel's eco credentials thanks to the exquisite UK-born Bamford brand and its holistic philosophies. Their skincare line is made from natural and organic ingredients certified to the highest standard, and it's used to blissful effect in a collection of exquisite and intuitive therapies. Their Bamford Body Signature Treatment is a real treat complete with Japanese shiatsu massage and an Epsom salt foot bathing ritual to draw toxins from the body and allow it to absorb magnesium to help reduce inflammation.
