The Connaught: Mayfair's Quiet Anchor (2026 Review)
The Connaught, Maybourne's most discreet London property, finished its 2024 room and suite refresh in March 2025 and tightened its position as the operating headquarters for the discerning London business traveller. A three-Michelin-star kitchen under Hélène Darroze, the world's number one bar four years running, a Jean-Georges restaurant on Mount Street, and the only Aman Spa in the United Kingdom — all behind a Carlos Place door that even regulars sometimes walk past. We score it across rooms, food and beverage, spa, service, and value against Claridge's, the Berkeley, the Ritz London, the Four Seasons Park Lane, the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, Bulgari Knightsbridge, the Peninsula London, and Rosewood London.
