SH Hotels and Resorts LogoIn an era where luxury is synonymous with excess, 1 Hotels is a testament to a new paradigm—where luxury meets ecology. The debut of 1 Hotel Mayfair on London’s illustrious streets marks a triumph not just for the brand but for visionary hospitality that champions the environment.

Nestled in the heart of London’s prestigious Mayfair district, overlooking the verdant expanses of Green Park, this flagship property is a marvel of biophilic design and sustainable innovation. It is the brainchild of hospitality titan Barry Sternlicht in collaboration with Crosstree Real Estate Partners. Their vision has come to life, creating a space where high-end comfort aligns with ecological sensitivity.

The hotel, a stone’s throw from the city’s cultural and historical landmarks, doesn’t just exist within London—it invites London in. Its architecture, a seamless blend with nature, boasts vertical gardens that climb towards the sky. At the same time, its interior design incorporates elements of the outside world, crafting a serene retreat amid the urban hustle.

Every aspect of 1 Hotel Mayfair exudes a commitment to conservation and luxury without compromise. The structure itself, a rejuvenated ensemble of Mayfair buildings, stands as a monument to responsible construction, adhering to BREEAM Excellent standards and celebrating the retention of existing frameworks to minimize environmental impact.

The rooms and suites, 181 in total, are sanctuaries of peace, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering either a canopy of greenery or the city’s iconic skyline. The hotel’s crown jewels are its signature suites, each with its unique blend of elegance and ecological consciousness.

At the Bamford Wellness Spa, guests are treated to a holistic approach to rejuvenation, with treatments and products that are as ethical as they are exquisite. The Field House Fitness Centre continues this ethos, offering wellness programs catering to physical and environmental health.

Culinary excellence takes centre stage at Dovetail, where Two Michelin Star Chef Tom Sellers presents a menu as sustainable as it is sumptuous. Ingredients are sourced with integrity, while design elements within the restaurant speak to a narrative of nature and nurture.

The Dover Yard bar and Neighbours café further extend the brand’s dedication to sustainable dining, offering locally sourced bites and beverages with a zero-waste philosophy.

The hotel’s commitment to eco-friendly practices extends to transportation, providing guests with a fleet of electric Audi house cars and ensuring that even journeys around the city align with the hotel’s green principles.

1 Hotel Mayfair not only provides a luxurious escape but also a gentle nudge towards a greener lifestyle. It stands as a beacon of hope, a bold statement in the face of climate challenges, and a luxurious blueprint for the future of sustainable travel.

As London continues to evolve, 1 Hotels offers a glimpse into a future where luxury and sustainability are not at odds but are intertwined. It’s a vision of what the heart of hospitality can and should be—responsible, beautiful, and ultimately transformative.
