This hotel has been selected for:
In London, the hotel world’s majorest of major leagues, even the big chains know which way the wind is blowing — away from that fusty manor-house look, and toward something altogether more clean-lined and contemporary. Nobody’s about to mistake the old May Fair for the Sanderson, but after a top-to-bottom £70m renovation, it’s looking shockingly up-to-date.
It’s plain they’ve learned some lessons from the new breed of design hotels: the Mayfair Bar is stylish and modern, packing in a hip West End crowd, and Amba, the restaurant, is striking in granite and black leather. Upstairs, the bedrooms are still oversized and as luxurious as they come, and now they’re utterly modern too, slightly minimalist in muted earth tones. And of course they’re packed with all the modern must-haves, from high-tech (Bang & Olufsen entertainment centers) to low (Molton Brown bath products).
A 201-seat private screening room is a rarity, to be sure, but the May Fair’s spa is its crown jewel. It’s vaguely Asian in design (as are all spas these days) and completely over-the-top — the best place for a mud bath after a long day of splashing cash all over the West End. Or all over the hotel — the May Fair’s own Palm Beach Casino is among the biggest in town, and its atmosphere of old-world glamour is an inducement to high-stakes playing.

Well appointed rooms. Reasonable Rates (considering location). Reasonably priced room service and mini-bar. Atmosphere in the Hotel Bar. Staff in the Hotel Bar (very busy with friday post-work crowd, yet still insisted on helping us find seats). Location!I Disliked

Not 5 Stars

Location was good, walking distance to restaurants, transportation and shopping.I Disliked
The room we had lacked warmth and luxuriness that is associated with any 5 stars establishment. It was ackwardly designed with poorly laidout furniture. Water leaked from the shower door. Long dark halls and a plain lobby. I guess you get what you pay for. We got a very good rate, and in this case, we barely got what we paid for. I specifically did not appreciate the "too casual" young concierge trying to "upsale" me to take the hotel's limo to Heathrow.

The suite we received due to Tablet plus was large, spacious and very at ease.I Disliked
the bed, my partner wasn't the first one, who went down with the bed, so it was clearly not repaired after the last time. The manager in charge of the suite floor, who entered our room at 7 am because she thought the room was empty :-)
Love this HOTEL!

We stayed in London for only one day and therefore LOCATION is key. The hotel is extremely well-located, just a 5-min walk from the Green Park Metro Station, and is right in the best shopping district in town, the May Fair. You will find all the name brand shops as well as art galleries in the area. You can also walk to the Buckingham Palace and Covent Garden on foot. We arrived at the hotel at 8 am in the morning, and the staff was so kind to offer us a resting room to change, shower and put luggage. We really did not expect that, and it was a great surprise. The room is big for the London standard, and the gym is very well-equipped.I Disliked
The WIFI service did not work that well in our room, but there is free online service at the business center and there is even a printer. It took them a long term to get our room ready in the afternoon because the customer of the previous night did not check out until 3 p.m. However, since they had given us the resting room in the morning, it was fine. At the end, we decided to stay at the resting room instead.8 user(s) found this review helpful
