Introduction: Why We Chose This Hotel

Mayfair doesn’t lack for luxury hotels. The Ritz is literally next door. The Connaught is round the corner. Brown’s has been doing refined hospitality since 1837. So when an American brand arrives — one built on solar panels and living walls rather than marble and chandeliers — you’d be forgiven for raising an eyebrow. And yet 1 Hotel Mayfair, which opened in 2023, has quietly become one of the most talked-about new openings in London.

We wanted to look past the press releases and influencer posts. The sustainability claims are bold. The price tag is steep. And the question nagging at us was straightforward: is this a genuinely good hotel, or a very expensive greenhouse? Our 1 Hotel Mayfair review draws on hundreds of verified guest reviews, press coverage, and our own research to find out.

This review sits alongside our growing collection of London hotel and business reviews, including our assessment of The Savoy London, as well as reviews of Dishoom King’s Cross, Bow Lane Dental Group, The Neem Tree Dental Practice, Brooks and Brooks Salon, Third Space Clapham Junction, Shoreditch Town Hall, and Mayfield Lavender Farm.


Location & Getting There

1 Hotel Mayfair sits on the corner of Berkeley Street and Piccadilly, in one of central London’s most expensive postcodes. It’s the kind of location estate agents would describe as “unrivalled” — and for once they’d be roughly correct.

By Tube

Green Park station is a two-minute walk south on Piccadilly. It serves the Jubilee, Piccadilly, and Victoria lines, which means Heathrow is a direct ride (Piccadilly line, roughly 45 minutes), and you’re within easy reach of King’s Cross, Victoria, Waterloo, and most of central London without changing. Piccadilly Circus station (Piccadilly and Bakerloo lines) is about five minutes on foot heading east.

By Bus

Piccadilly itself is a major bus corridor. Routes 9, 14, and 19 all pass within a minute’s walk, connecting to Kensington, Chelsea, Battersea, and points further south and west.

By Car & Taxi

Valet parking is available, and there’s nearby public parking at around £60 per day. This is central London, however, so driving really isn’t advisable. A taxi from Heathrow will set you back roughly £60–£90 depending on traffic. The hotel also offers a complimentary electric Audi e-tron house car for guest transfers — worth asking about at booking.

On Foot

Green Park is a two-minute stroll. St James’s Park is roughly ten minutes. Hyde Park and Buckingham Palace are both within a fifteen-minute walk. Bond Street’s shopping stretches begin five minutes north, and the restaurants and theatres of Soho are about seven minutes east. Berkeley Square — London’s most expensive Monopoly address — is quite literally around the corner.

Why the Location Matters

Mayfair can feel exclusive to the point of aloofness — all private members’ clubs and locked Georgian squares. But the hotel’s position on Piccadilly places it at the border between Mayfair’s quiet residential streets and the bustle of the West End. Couples on TripAdvisor consistently rate the location 9.8 out of 10 for two-person trips. That score rather speaks for itself.


First Impressions & Atmosphere

The entrance tells you immediately that this isn’t a typical Mayfair hotel. Doormen in flat caps and leather trainers (not top hats and tails) hold open the door, and you step into a lobby dominated by a vast dome of trailing moss and stone features threaded with ivy. Time Out’s reviewer described the feeling of walking in as being “like walking into a forest,” and that isn’t far off.

The building itself is a refurbishment of two existing structures — formerly a Holiday Inn, of all things — rather than a new-build. The fact that 80 per cent of the original structure was retained is part of the sustainability ethos, though you’d never guess the building’s former life from the inside. The interiors are Scandinavian-inflected: clean lines, British oak, hand-chiseled stone, and a restrained palette of whites, creams, and warm wood tones. The MICHELIN Guide calls it “clean-lined Scandinavian-inspired design… warmed with living greenery and soft, organic textures.”

It’s posh, obviously. But it doesn’t feel stuffy. One TripAdvisor reviewer captured it well, calling it “a very hip hotel, in an excellent location. It would almost be too precious except that it all works well.” There’s a chalkboard in the lobby listing the day’s wellness classes (barre, meditation, sound baths), a farmstand offering imperfect fruit, and a general mood that sits somewhere between private members’ club and high-end wellness retreat. The check-in desk, reportedly crafted from a fallen 200-year-old oak tree, is quietly rather magnificent.


The Rooms & Suites

There are 181 rooms and suites across nine floors: 137 rooms and 44 suites. Thirty-five premium suites sit on the seventh and eighth floors, with darker timber finishes and floor-to-ceiling windows. The crown jewel is the double-height Green Park Penthouse Suite — at 274 square metres, reportedly the largest one-bedroom suite in Mayfair.

Room Features

Every room features sustainably sourced British oak flooring, hand-chiseled stone surfaces, a filtered drinking-water tap (with tumblers made from repurposed wine bottles), non-toxic organic mattresses, and a yoga mat. Bathrooms have Welsh slate vanities, walk-in showers with rain heads, and Bamford organic toiletries in large dispensers rather than single-use miniatures. Wardrobe hangers are made from discarded packaging and responsibly harvested rubber — a small detail, but telling. There’s also a piece of slate and chalk pencil in place of a paper notepad, and a smooth stone engraved “not now” for the door handle instead of a plastic “do not disturb” sign.

Technology-wise, rooms come with 55-inch LED TVs, satellite channels, espresso makers, minibars stocked with Daylesford organics, and complimentary Wi-Fi at speeds above 100 Mbps. Occupancy sensors adjust lighting and airflow when guests leave the room.

What Guests Say About the Rooms

Booking.com guests regularly praise comfort and cleanliness. Frequent comments include praise for the beds (“so unbelievably comfortable”), the quiet despite the central location, and the filtered water tap. One repeat visitor on TripAdvisor noted they stay “around twice a year” and praised the “wonderful location” and overall design. A Booking.com reviewer complimented the “good working table and light” and “plenty of daylight.”

The turndown service gets particularly warm mentions. Time Out’s reviewer noted that housekeeping wrapped cables on chargers, rearranged toiletries, and left a goodnight message on a bedside chalkboard — the kind of attentiveness that distinguishes a very good hotel from a merely expensive one.

Caveats exist. Some rooms are, by London standards, not enormous — TripAdvisor’s AI summary mentions they “may be snug.” A few guests have reported occasional noise or plumbing issues, and one reviewer on TripAdvisor noted a “sewage smell” in the bathroom, though hotel management responded to that review and addressed it.

Frequently Praised

  • Bed comfort and organic mattresses
  • In-room filtered water tap
  • Turndown service attention to detail
  • Natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows (upper floors)
  • Live plants in every room

Dining: Dovetale, Dover Yard & Neighbours

Dovetale

The hotel’s signature restaurant is helmed by Tom Sellers, who earned two Michelin stars at Restaurant Story in Bermondsey before opening Dovetale. The menu leans into reimagined European classics with a firm emphasis on seasonal, organic, and locally sourced produce. There’s an outdoor terrace with a copper fireplace and pergola. Dovetale currently holds 2 AA Rosettes and a standard Michelin Guide listing (awarded December 2023).

Guest feedback on Dovetale is overwhelmingly positive. TripAdvisor reviewers regularly describe meals as a highlight of their stay, with staff frequently named individually — Vladimir at the bar, Lilly for menu guidance, Richard for his warmth. Breakfast earns particular praise. One reviewer called it “10/10 for breakfast. Props to the entire breakfast team who made our mornings fun and tasty.” The seasonal approach means menus shift regularly, which keeps repeat visitors engaged but can occasionally frustrate those expecting a fixed signature dish.

Dover Yard

The cocktail bar focuses on sustainable, locally sourced ingredients — expect creative mixes rather than the usual Mayfair champagne-and-martini circuit. The ambience is darker and more intimate than the lobby, with nature-inspired aesthetics. Several reviewers have noted that the bar can be difficult to get a table at without advance booking, which is a genuine annoyance if you’re a hotel guest expecting a casual drink.

Neighbours

The lobby café operates as a more relaxed option for coffee, light meals, and cocktails. It functions as the hotel’s “living room” — a good spot for a laptop and a flat white, or a pre-dinner drink. One reviewer praised the “best version of my favourite cocktail, the Naked and Famous” at the lobby bar.


Wellness: Bamford Spa & The Field House

Bamford Wellness Spa

Located on the first floor alongside the gym, the Bamford Wellness Spa offers treatments using the brand’s natural, organic product line. Options include facials (the Awakening Bamford Facial runs to approximately £160 for 60 minutes), body wraps, aromatherapy, and hot stone massages. The full spa day with lunch is priced at around £560 for 3.5 hours, which includes guided yoga, a silent ritual, a back massage, a signature facial, and a two-course lunch on a private terrace.

The spa is well-regarded by guests but notably lacks a sauna, steam room, or hot tub — a gap that both Time Out and A Hotel Life flagged in their reviews. For a hotel that centres itself on wellness, the absence is surprising, and several reviewers have said they’d expect these facilities at this price point.

The Field House (Gym)

The gym runs 24 hours and is equipped with Technogym equipment, free weights, and a yoga area with reclaimed wooden flooring. There’s a free run club on Wednesday mornings and periodic classes — barre, meditation, sound baths — listed on the lobby chalkboard. Private training sessions with London-based instructors can be arranged. A digital running map helps guests find routes through the surrounding Royal Parks. TripAdvisor reviewers call it “gorgeous and fully stocked,” though the space itself is compact.


Sustainability Credentials

This is where 1 Hotel Mayfair most clearly differentiates itself from Mayfair’s traditional luxury set. The building retained 80 per cent of its previous structure during refurbishment. There are 1,300 individual plants across 200-plus species, including nearly 400 square metres of exterior living walls irrigated by rooftop rainwater. Solar panels line the roof. The property uses 50 per cent less energy to light its rooms than an average hotel, with occupancy sensors controlling lighting and air conditioning. There are no single-use plastics anywhere on site — filtered water taps replace bottled water, and recycled wine-into-water bottles are provided in every room.

The Condé Nast Traveller review summarises it well: the hotel “debunks any outdated theory that sustainability cannot also be smart, luxurious and efficient.” Is a luxury hotel ever truly sustainable? Probably not in the purest sense. But 1 Hotels makes a more credible effort than most of its competitors, and the fact that it does so without sacrificing comfort is genuinely worth noting. The hotel has received One MICHELIN Key from the MICHELIN Guide, recognising the quality of the overall guest experience.


Pricing & Value for Money

Rooms at 1 Hotel Mayfair start from approximately £400–£500 per night for an entry-level Alcove King, rising significantly for suites. The cheapest rates tend to appear in January and February, with weekends (Saturday and Sunday) generally cheaper than midweek stays. Thursday is typically the most expensive night. KAYAK data from 2026 shows rates between approximately $625–$634 (roughly £490–£500) for recent bookings.

What Guests Think About Value

This is where opinions split. Several TripAdvisor reviewers describe the hotel as “very good value for Mayfair” — which is a relative statement, clearly, but a fair one. Compared to The Ritz or Brown’s, the nightly rate is lower, and the physical plant is newer and more modern. One repeat visitor who stays three times a year called it “reasonable vs its competition, especially given the new physical plant.” On the other hand, some reviewers flag extra charges (breakfast isn’t included as standard, spa treatments are priced at premium levels, and parking is £60 per day). The Points Guy noted candidly that “it is an expensive hotel” and the price may put it out of reach for some.

Current Offers

The hotel runs several packages: a third night free offer for stays of three or more nights; a “Spring Equinox” deal with up to 30 per cent off and breakfast or dinner credit; and a family package with up to 40 per cent off, plus children’s tent, star projector, and cookies and milk.

Our Assessment

For Mayfair, the pricing is competitive. The hotel offers a newer, more modern product than many of its neighbours at a comparable or slightly lower rate. Where value gets eroded is in the extras — breakfast, bar tabs, spa treatments, and parking all add up quickly. If sustainability matters to you, the premium over a standard luxury hotel is marginal. If you simply want the cheapest five-star bed in Mayfair, The Chesterfield or Washington Mayfair will save you a couple of hundred pounds a night.


What Guests Actually Say: Review Analysis

TripAdvisor

1 Hotel Mayfair holds a 4/5 rating from 424 reviews on TripAdvisor, ranking it #96 of 1,191 hotels in London. It carries a Travelers’ Choice award. Reviews skew heavily positive, with the majority praising location, design, and staff. The hotel manager, Nick Bromhead, personally responds to nearly every review — positive and negative — which is unusual and appreciated by guests. Negative reviews tend to focus on small room sizes, occasional plumbing niggles, and the difficulty of securing a table at the bar without advance booking.

Booking.com

The hotel scores 9.1/10 on Booking.com from verified guest stays. Guests consistently praise comfort, cleanliness, and staff friendliness. The location receives near-perfect marks. Recurring praise centres on the bed quality, sustainable design details, and the Bamford amenities.

MICHELIN Guide

The MICHELIN Guide awarded 1 Hotel Mayfair One MICHELIN Key and describes the hotel’s Scandinavian-inflected interiors as being warmed by living greenery and organic textures. The Guide highlights the Bamford Spa as a particular attraction.

Time Out London

Time Out’s detailed review praised the lobby atmosphere, the turndown service, the gym’s run club, and the lobby farmstand. The reviewer flagged the absence of a sauna or steam room as a gap at this price point, and noted that Mayfair itself isn’t the most exciting neighbourhood beyond designer shopping — though Green Park’s proximity is a genuine bonus.

Hotels.com & Expedia

Both platforms feature strong guest ratings with common themes of helpful staff, well-appointed rooms, and excellent breakfast. Travellers on Hotels.com describe the experience as unfussy and well-executed, with the staff earning particular mention.


What Guests Love Most (Positive Themes)

  1. 1. The Staff — Consistently Outstanding: From doormen to housekeeping to concierge, the team receives rapturous praise. Nick Bromhead’s personal engagement with reviews sets a tone that clearly filters down. Individual staff members are named repeatedly — Sheila, Matthew, Yiannis, Stephanie, Carmen, Sylwia, Jonathan — which suggests genuine connection rather than scripted politeness.
  2. 2. Sustainability That Doesn’t Feel Like Sacrifice: Guests regularly comment that the green credentials enhance rather than diminish the luxury experience. The filtered water taps, organic mattresses, and repurposed materials feel considered rather than preachy. Several reviewers say they didn’t realise quite how sustainable the hotel was until they looked into it — which is perhaps the highest compliment.
  3. 3. The Rooms — Comfortable and Quiet: Bed quality is mentioned in almost every positive review. The organic mattresses, quality linens, and effective soundproofing produce remarkably quiet rooms given the Piccadilly location. The in-room filtered water tap is a surprisingly popular detail.
  4. 4. The Design and Atmosphere: The biophilic interiors — moss dome, living walls, 1,300 plants — create a genuine sense of arriving somewhere special. Multiple reviewers describe a feeling of calm upon entering the lobby. The aesthetic walks a fine line between pared-back minimalism and warmth, and most guests feel it lands correctly.
  5. 5. Dovetale Restaurant and Breakfast: Tom Sellers’ menu earns strong praise, and the breakfast service is frequently described as a highlight. The outdoor terrace with its copper fireplace is a particular draw during warmer months.
  6. 6. Location — Central Without Feeling Chaotic: Positioned at the border of Mayfair and the West End, with Green Park literally across the road, the hotel offers central convenience with a sense of retreat. The 9.8/10 couples score for location on Booking.com speaks for itself.
  7. 7. The Turndown Service: Multiple reviewers single out the housekeeping and turndown service as exceptional — cables wrapped, toiletries rearranged, handwritten notes. This level of care is increasingly rare even in luxury hotels.
  8. 8. Pet-Friendly Policy: Dogs are welcome, which sets it apart from several Mayfair competitors. Charges may apply, but the policy itself earns goodwill from travelling pet owners.

Areas for Consideration (Constructive Feedback)

  1. 1. No Sauna, Steam Room, or Hot Tub: For a hotel that positions itself around wellness, the absence of these facilities is a genuine gap. Both Time Out and A Hotel Life flagged this, and several TripAdvisor reviewers have expressed surprise. The Bamford Spa treatments are excellent, but guests expecting a full wet spa experience will be disappointed.
  2. 2. Bar Availability — Booking Required: Several guests have complained about needing to book Dover Yard days in advance. One frustrated TripAdvisor reviewer felt that as a five-star hotel guest, you should be able to get a drink without advance planning. This feels like a genuine hospitality gap that management could address.
  3. 3. Room Size — Compact by Five-Star Standards: Some rooms, particularly at the entry level, are described as snug. London hotel rooms are famously small, and Mayfair is no exception, but at £400-plus per night, guests occasionally feel shortchanged on space. The suites offer considerably more room, though at a considerably higher price.
  4. 4. Pricing of Extras — Breakfast, Spa, Parking: Breakfast isn’t included in the standard room rate, spa treatments run from £160 upwards, and parking costs £60 per day. These extras can push the total cost of a stay well beyond the headline room rate.
  5. 5. Occasional Plumbing Issues: A small number of reviewers have reported bathroom odour or plumbing problems. Management has responded to these reviews directly and appears to address them, but for a hotel that opened in 2023, any plumbing issues are unwelcome.
  6. 6. Mayfair Itself — Not for Everyone: The neighbourhood is beautiful and superbly connected, but unless you’re interested in luxury shopping or have a generous expense account, it can feel a bit polished. The hotel’s proximity to Green Park and Soho mitigates this, but it’s worth considering if you prefer a neighbourhood with more independent character.

Who Is 1 Hotel Mayfair Best For?

✅ Good for:

  • Couples seeking a romantic, design-led hotel in central London
  • Environmentally conscious travellers who don’t want to sacrifice comfort
  • Business travellers wanting a modern, quiet base with strong Wi-Fi
  • Wellness-focused guests (spa, gym, yoga, meditation, run club)
  • Families (family packages available, children of all ages welcome)
  • Dog owners (pet-friendly policy)
  • Fine dining enthusiasts (Dovetale, Dover Yard)

⚠️ Less suitable for:

  • Budget-conscious travellers — this is firmly premium pricing
  • Guests wanting a traditional, heritage hotel experience (try The Savoy or Claridge’s)
  • Those who prioritise large rooms above all else (entry-level rooms are compact)
  • Spa enthusiasts expecting sauna and steam facilities
  • Guests who prefer a neighbourhood with more independent character

Verdict: 1 Hotel Mayfair occupies an interesting middle ground. It’s significantly cheaper than Brown’s and considerably more modern than The Chesterfield, while offering more substance (and a genuine spa) than The Mayfair Townhouse. If sustainability matters to you, there’s really no contest — no competitor in Mayfair comes close. If heritage and tradition are what you’re after, look elsewhere.

London Reviews Verdict on 1 Hotel Mayfair Review

Here’s what we think, plainly: 1 Hotel Mayfair is a very good hotel that occasionally flirts with greatness. The sustainability credentials are genuine and impressive — this isn’t greenwashing, it’s a serious operational commitment that extends from the building’s structure down to the wardrobe hangers. The staff are remarkable. The rooms are comfortable, quiet, and thoughtfully designed. Dovetale is a proper restaurant, not a hotel dining room going through the motions. And the location, two minutes from Green Park on the Piccadilly-Mayfair border, is hard to fault.

Where it falls slightly short of perfection is in the details that separate a 9.1 Booking.com score from a 9.5. The spa needs a sauna and steam room. The bar should be easier for guests to access without advance booking. Some rooms are tight for the price. And the extras — breakfast, spa, parking — can push the total cost of a stay beyond what the headline room rate suggests.

But these are gripes, not deal-breakers. If you care about where your travel money goes — not just the thread count of your sheets but the environmental footprint of your stay — 1 Hotel Mayfair is currently without a serious rival in central London. And even if sustainability isn’t your primary concern, the combination of modern design, attentive service, and a Piccadilly address makes this a strong contender against Mayfair’s more established competition.

For a hotel that opened just three years ago in a building that used to be a Holiday Inn, that’s quite something.
