1 Hotels, the sustainable luxury hotel brand, has opened its first European property and UK flagship hotel in London this week.
1 Hotel Mayfair is located on a fashionable corner of historic Mayfair overlooking Green Park, complementing its nature-driven design, which includes a massive living, breathing wall of fresh greenery in the lobby.
More than 1,300 individual plants and 200-plus local and native plant species are scattered throughout the property, and the 181 rooms and suites feature living moss walls, furniture crafted from sustainably sourced wood, and Welsh slate bathroom vanities.
Operated by SH Hotels and Resorts, 1 Hotel Mayfair is in a renovated and reconstructed building, with more than 80 per cent of the existing structure retained, saving up to 4,200 tonnes of carbon carbon produced during demolition and construction, mitigating construction waste and debris, and helping the project to meet BREEAM Excellent standards.
The hotel is home to several restaurants and bars that reflect the brand’s sustainable, eco-minded approach to dining, including Dovetale by two Michelin Star Chef Tom Sellers. The seasonal menu is composed of only the highest quality ingredients sourced from best-in-class British farms, growers, and fishermen.
Overlooking a lush botanical courtyard, Dover Yard is a bar offering casual bites, pre-dinner drinks and signature cocktails, with background DJs creating a sophisticated yet vibrant atmosphere, and a double-sided fireplace to add a touch of warmth in cooler months.
The Bamford Wellness Spa enhances the hotel’s dedication to wellbeing, with an exclusive selection of holistic treatments, services, and classes meant to nurture the mind, body, and spirit.
To encourage exploration, 1 Hotel Mayfair offers guests access to a fleet of electric Audi house cars—featuring the Q8 e-tron, Q8 Sportback e-tron, and RS e-tron GT.
