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.

Reviews for The Connaught
Afternoon Tea
My son kindly bought me a voucher for Afternoon Tea at Christmas and we used it last week. I love to go around the different 5* hotels trying out the Afternoon Tea and this one didn't disappoint. We were warmly greeted straight upon arrival, given a choice of table to sit at which means alot to me as i suffer with anxiety. We were explained about the different options we could choose and the food was really nice, great variety and all delicious. The service was excellent. The only little thing i could say is that there was no tablecloth and all the 5* hotels we have been too there are tablecloths on the tables which i always think look nicer and the room wasn't decorated as nicely as some other hotels we have been too. Saying that it was excellent value for money and would love to return.

Just perfect
Still our favourite place to stay while in London, although crazy expensive, the sleep quality is perfect, the staff even more so and breakfast!! Beyond amazing is all I can say. Although on this visit we were in a van and I think Gary was assuming we went to clean the windows 🤣. Perfect in every way may I add

Absolute gem with welcoming staff!
My husband and I stayed at the Connaught in late June at the very end of our trip to London and it was simply amazing. We booked with Amex and were pleasantly surprised to get a suite upgrade, which was beautiful and spacious. The staff were incredibly welcoming, and, although it is a bit of a splurge in an upscale neighborhood, the place is not stuffy nor does anyone make you feel like you don’t belong. They always remembered our names, requests were fulfilled quickly, and the massage at the Aman Spa worked out all of the traveling stress that I had accumulated! The bar cocktails were top notch, the breakfast was delicious and our dinner at JG was truly an event from start to finish. Our absolute favorite splurge hotel of our entire trip, highly recommended!

5* experience
Return visit to the bar after a previously disappointing experience. Nothing less than superb. The Red Room is a lovely, chic bar - the best for a date night, or even a solo drink. Hotel is in the heart of Mayfair and will absolutely return soon, and great to have been able to see a true reflection of this excellent hotel. Managers Oscar Angeloni and Ariana Perez know how to provide excellent service and small touches, as well as their colleagues. Will be back to eat soon

"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!"
