Mandarin Oriental Mayfair, London

The final stop on our UK tour , and we saved the best to last. Superb service, plush rooms with every conceivable extra. Food was outstanding. Everything in this hotel is top class.

We discover Abar thanks to a friend of mine and we got offer a seat facing the view, a speechless moment. Ludovico Mansi served us with a charming and positive attitude, he made our moment relaxed and peaceful. Never seen a bar manager so passionate and deliver a unique service.

I have nothing to say for Mandarin Hotels’ quality of service and staff. Nevertheless, I can make a comparison between MO Mayfair and Hyde Park since I had the pleasure staying in both. Both have great locations, close to best locations. But if you ask me, I prefer Hyde Park because waking up early and have a stroll in HydePark in just one minute is great. In addition to that, Hyde Park Mandarin has a magnificient architecture and welcoming entrance. In Mayfair Mandarin, which is a new establishment, has some drawbacks: 1. There is an ongoing construction next to the hotel so your room view may be obstructed. 2. The restaurant for breakfast is located on a lower floor so no outdoor view - while Hyde Park Mandarin offers a beautiful view overlooking Hyde Park. 3. Mayfair Mandarin does not offer an open buffet breakfast while Hyde Park has a selection both in open buffet and additional plates on menu. 4. Notable comparison on rooms: while Mayfair Mandarin offers only walk-in showers, Hyde Park has hot tub available. When it comes to other amenities, most of them sre generally comparable. I had one downside during my stay in Mandarin Hyde Park: they put us in a room facing interior of the complex. This was the reason I wanted to try newly established Mayfair Mandarin but sadly, it is certain I won’t be choosing this hotel again for my upcoming travels to London. I hope this review can help other travellers

Great location we were upgraded to an unbelievable Suite. We were treated like gold by every single member of the staff. They went beyond politeness, to interest in what we were doing and how we were enjoying our travels we could not have been more pleased. While this is an outstanding property. the attitude of the staff makes it exceptional. We can’t wait to come back to London and stay here.

A group of us visited the Abar on a Saturday afternoon. Such a lovely bar. Service was fantastic Special thanks to Theo and the waiters. Drinks were really good, and some pretty good views over London. We had the added bonus of not only having a DJ but a sax and Bongo player who were spectacular! Will definitely be back!
