One of London’s grandest hotels has a new member of the family.
Last week I was among the first to set foot in it, the capital’s newest super luxury hotel, Mandarin Oriental Mayfair. Occupying the south-eastern corner of Hanover Square, it’s one of London’s most coveted addresses, and Mayfair’s first new-build hotel in 10 years. The contemporary exterior is clad with burnt red brick ‘baguettes’, designed to fit in with the Georgian terraces that surround the hotel.
