About The Connaught

The Connaught’s martini trolley makes a ceremony of a drink, with guests choosing aromatic bitters to shape their preferred version. That attention to individual taste gives a useful introduction to this Mayfair hotel, where original art and traditional craftsmanship bring character to the interiors. A historic wooden staircase anchors the public spaces, while suites include personal butler service and, in some cases, private terraces above the city. Hélène Darroze’s three-Michelin-star restaurant makes dining a substantial part of the draw. Outside, the Mount Street neighborhood puts boutiques, Bond Street and Hyde Park within easy reach, giving a stay here a distinctly Mayfair frame.

Why Celebrities Love The Connaught

A memorable dinner and a properly considered cocktail are strong reasons to choose a hotel, and the Connaught takes both seriously. Its appeal to a culturally engaged visitor lies in that concentration of craft, from the Grill's bespoke woodwork to the kitchens. The Carlos Place setting also makes Mayfair feel like a neighbourhood one can inhabit.
