If there's an area of London that embodies the fantasy of the British capital at its best, it's undoubtedly Mayfair. The way in which ornate, Georgian, Regency-style, and Victorian buildings, sprawling parks, and leafy private gardens alternate with the dazzling shopfronts of fashion maisons, exclusive restaurants, and world-class galleries, is a sight to behold.
That's why, when I was invited to spend a night at Montcalm Mayfair, a newly reinvented, five-star hotel part of the Marriott group's design, craft, and storytelling-led Autograph Collection, I immediately chased the opportunity to experience what holidaying in Mayfair feels like for myself.
