The new hotel will see the existing office buildings in Grafton Street and Bruton Lane knocked down to make way for two linked seven and 11-storey buildings that will house its luxury facilities. Only a listed facade in Grafton Street is set to survive. Proposals boast an underground spa, two restaurants, including one run by a Michelin-star chef, a Louis Vuitton café, a bar, six private apartments and a roof terrace with 25-metre pool.
The triangular site at the heart of the city will ‘blend sensitively with the historic surrounding buildings and enhance the setting and ambiance of the Mayfair Conservation Area’. The plans for a new hotel right in the beating heart of luxury London is hugely exciting, complements the iconic Brown’s and Claridge’s nearby, and will be a real draw for affluent visitors.
