About the Hotel
One of London's best-kept secrets, the Connaught nestles in the heart of fashionable Mayfair in an area of charming antique shops, galleries, and designer boutiques. Built in 1897, this member of Maybourne Hotel Group preserves an air of Edwardian elegance that promises an experience that can be compared to a stay in an English country manor. One of the world's most distinguished addresses has recently undergone a multi-million dollar restoration that has brought the hotel well and truly into the 21st century, while still preserving the elegance so beloved of its guests. An effortless blending of original art and antiques alongside the latest in modern facilities, high levels of service, and fine cuisine serve illustrate why this is the hotel of choice for many.

All in one place.
The ultimate quality over quantity.

A London Classic
When we last stayed at the Connaught more than six years ago, we had a tiny room from which we heard everything in adjoining rooms and the hallways. When we complained at check out, the duty manager promised us an upgrade on our next stay. Impressively enough, when I called last month to book a room, the reservation agent found the record. True to its word, the Connaught upgraded us - to a spectacular and somewhat eccentrically Elizabethan junior suite on the fifth floor with double height peaked ceiling, a supremely comfortable four poster bed, a luxurious bathroom, and an adjoining tiny study. The room had the usual overcomplicated and inscrutable lighting controls, but was otherwise lovely - sunlit and large. The welcoming gift of satsumas and a bottle of the house Negroni was much appreciated. We had only two issues during our stay. The first (mentioned in other reviews as well) is the overpowering proprietary floral scent that wafts throughout the hotel - much too much of a good thing. The second was that despite our having received both email and oral confirmations at check in of our reservation at the Connaught Bar, the hostess there had no record of it - and seemed a bit skeptical of our claims even when we showed her the email; it took a little too long to resolve the confusion and, while we appreciated that our cocktails were comped, the glitch was jarringly inconsistent with the otherwise excellent service. Nevertheless, the personal attention, convenient location, and wonderful breakfasts make the Connaught an excellent if somewhat extravagant choice to stay.

Truly wonderful
From start to finish our experience at The Connaught was wonderful. Firstly, the warm welcome from AJ on reception was much appreciated. Our room was beautiful, extremely comfortable, with all the luxuries you would expect. The food and drink were excellent, particularly the cocktails in the Coburg bar! Everything about the hotel is top notch; however, the stand out element without question is the staff. The service from everyone was impeccable. For us, our weekend stay was a special treat and one made memorable by the exceptional team working here. We hope to return again.

"My wife and I just returned from England. We purchased the Lygon Arms/Connaught package from Luxury Link.
I wanted to let you know that everything was provided as promised. Our suites at both The Lygon Arms and The Connaught were truly outstanding. In fact, our suite in London was perhaps one of the finest accommodations that we have ever experienced anywhere in the world."

"The Connaught was the best hotel experience, in years of travel, topping every world-wide luxury lodging in all respects. Given that we are 'road warriors' who travel the globe frequently, staying at the best hotels, this is a huge accolade. We never want to stay anywhere else! From the initial welcome, all the service from General Manager Anthony Lee's team was memorable. Our suite was the ultimate in luxury with a bed of perfection. The butler and staff were helpful, anticipating our every need. The Dining Room and Grill Room decors are fresh from a Nina Campbell makeover, with a new Gordon Ramsey protégé in charge, orchestrating the dining experience, which is all the rage of the London food scene. Every ingredient in every meal was special, from breakfast to tea and dinner, all including superb professional service. That this unique combination of comfort and style with such new-trend dining is available in such a historic environment is a testament to Mr. Lee. We are glad to know that this level of hotel experience still exists in today's world. We are eager to return and hopefully establish a corporate account at The Connaught for future business travel!"
