(TAN): Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group is expanding its presence in London with the opening of Mandarin Oriental Mayfair this winter. Sitting on Hanover Square, the new property is a discreet, sleek and intimate sister property to the award-winning Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park.
The property comprises 50 guestrooms and 78 private residences, offering hotel guests and residents an oasis of calm and Mandarin Oriental’s legendary service alongside a vibrant atmosphere in the public spaces. It will house the first namesake Akira Back restaurant in the UK from Michelin Star award winning Chef Akira Back, as well as his ‘ABar Lounge’ concept. There will also be an urban spa, focussed on renewal and recalibration.

“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,” said Susanne Hatje, who joins as general manager direct from the iconic Mandarin Oriental, New York.
