Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group will open a second hotel in the capital with the arrival of Mandarin Oriental Mayfair this winter.
Located on Hanover Square, the property will act as a more intimate sibling site to Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, comprising 50 guest bedrooms and 79 private residences.
The hotel will also house the first Akira Back restaurant in the UK from the Michelin Star Chef of the same name, as well as his ‘ABar Lounge’ concept.
Elsewhere in the hotel will be an urban spa, focussed on renewal and recalibration, which will be home to an indoor 25-metre swimming pool, sauna, vitality pool, relaxation room and a number of bespoke wellness treatments.
The interiors at Mandarin Oriental Mayfair have been designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, the talent behind the Lloyd’s building and the ‘Cheesegrater’ in London and include artworks by local British artists throughout the hotel.
Susanne Hatje, who joins as General Manager from Mandarin Oriental New York, commented: “We are incredibly excited to open a Mandarin Oriental hotel in the heart of such an iconic location. Mayfair has such a rich history and pedigree within luxury, fashion and art and is continually evolving. This is a wonderful parallel for our new property, which will introduce delightful touches for which Mandarin Oriental is loved, but in a more intimate and informal setting.
“We feel that our warm, club-like atmosphere, which flows throughout the hotel, is set to make Mandarin Oriental Mayfair a new destination of choice in the area.”
The overall project, comprising Mandarin Oriental Mayfair and the 79 Residences at Mandarin Oriental, is owned by Clivedale London, an independent, Mayfair based developer established in 2012 which is dedicated to developing super-prime property in London’s W1.
Mandarin Oriental Group operates 36 hotels and seven residences in 24 countries and territories.
ISG has secured the £50 million project with Clivedale London, to deliver the shell and core construction of The Residences at Mandarin Oriental Mayfair.

THPT Comment: Clivedale have a small number of very up-market residential developments in Central London, so the hotel element of this project is a new departure for them….more to come?
