Montcalm Mayfair
United by timeless
style and peerless service, Montcalm Collection is London’s compendium of
luxury hotels. Housed in elegant Georgian townhouses, an 18th-century brewery,
heritage headquarters and a diamond-shaped skyscraper, each hotel reveals a
different chapter in the city’s story. The hotels in the collection include a
historic brewery, reimagined as a vibrant modern hotel: Montcalm Brewery. A
storied city-slicker, housed in the former headquarters of the Royal Mail:
Montcalm Royal London House. A property with a bold new perspective at Montcalm
East, part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection. And a duo of mindful hotels
which set a slower pace: Inhabit, Southwick Street and Inhabit, Queen’s
Gardens, both part of Design Hotels.
Our flagship hotel is
on the brink of a bold new era. Its Grade II-listed building on the cusp of
Park Lane has been sensitively refreshed by architects Holland Harvey.
Interiors are being rejuvenated by Studio Mica and Studio Est. We have added a
new signature restaurant helmed by a world-famous chef, alongside a dapper
lounge and bar. Communal areas, bedrooms and suites have all been artfully
redesigned; our spa and Grand Ballroom will re-emerge as modern icons.
Conscious, cultured,
characterful, and considerate, Montcalm Mayfair is a five-star hotel set on a
historic crescent that sits proudly at the top of Park Lane, steps from Hyde
Park and the West End, with a toe in Marylebone, bringing a fresh, holistic hospitality
approach to London luxury. The respectful, sensitive full restoration includes
a wellness space, community-welcoming public spaces and a restaurant helmed by
an internationally-acclaimed chef.
