Overview


Originally opened in 1815 as the Prince of Saxe Coburg Hotel, the property was renamed The Connaught in 1917 to honor Queen Victoria's third son. Unlike the grander hotels of London, it was built to feel like a private Mayfair residence. It has long been the choice of the discreet elite, from Charles de Gaulle during his exile to legendary artists. The hotel’s famous mahogany staircase is a piece of craftsmanship that serves as a literal spine for its heritage, connecting the wood-paneled "old world" wing with the newer, contemporary additions.

Highlights


  • Consistently ranked among the top 50 hotels in the world, reaching No. 29 in the 2025 World's 50 Best Hotels
  • Home to the Connaught Bar, which has been twice named the "World’s Best Bar"
  • Features a world-class collection of contemporary art including works by Barbara Hepworth and Damien Hirst
  • Recipient of three Michelin Keys in 2024, the guide’s highest honor for hospitality

Why We Recommend

The Connaught is the quintessential Mayfair residence—discreet, artistic, and impeccably British. We recommend it for the world’s best Martini at the David Collins-designed bar and the rare ability to make you feel like a sophisticated Londoner rather than a guest, all wrapped in quiet, wood-paneled luxury.
