Flemings Hotel

Mayfair

This hotel is a venerable Mayfair institution, having opened in 1851 for the Great Exhibition. The terrace of linked townhouses oozes historic charm, yet bedrooms have a modern feel. Lush midnight blue drapes and faux-bearskin throws contrast with polished deco-revival surfaces and ultra-luxe bathrooms. A breakfast room doubles as Ormer Mayfair Restaurant; chef Shaun Rankin built his early reputation on Jersey’s seafood and those in the know flock here for wild lobster, crab, bass and turbot. Doubles from £215.
