In one of London’s most prestigious neighbourhoods, overlooking the historic Grosvenor Square, stands The Biltmore Mayfair — a destination where centuries of heritage intertwine with the sophistication of modern luxury. This iconic hotel has been named the Best Luxury City Hotel in London, UK, 2025, by Luxury Lifestyle Awards, a recognition that reflects its exceptional service, innovative guest experiences, and enduring grace.
A Storied Past, Reimagined for Today
The Biltmore Mayfair began life in 1710 as a private residence and, in the 1880s, became home to literary legend Oscar Wilde. Transformed into a hotel in 1969, it underwent an extensive reimagining in 2019, emerging later on as standalone luxury destination with a distinct identity. Today, it is both a landmark of British hospitality and a cosmopolitan hub for discerning global travellers.
Residences in the City
With 250 rooms, 49 tailored suites, and 8 signature suites, the hotel offers an elevated residential experience. Many accommodations boast sweeping views over Grosvenor Square, with interiors that combine generous proportions, high ceilings, and tasteful nods to the building’s aristocratic past. The result is a feeling not of simply staying in Mayfair, but of truly belonging.
Distinctive Dining & Signature Experiences
The Biltmore Mayfair continues to evolve its guest offerings, merging creativity and cultural connection. In 2024–2025, it introduced The Ember Terrace, a unique al fresco Turkish skewer and BBQ concept, and launched a Mediterranean Summer Brunch that has quickly become a Mayfair favourite. Its Artisan Afternoon Tea, served in The Foliage Lounge, changes seasonally, ensuring each visit offers something new.
Culinary distinction is a cornerstone of the Biltmore experience:
Each venue offers its own character, yet all are united by a consistent devotion to quality, presentation, and service.
Personalised Service at Its Finest
What truly makes The Biltmore Mayfair stand out is its philosophy of intuitive, personalised hospitality. Guests are welcomed not just as visitors, but as residents, with butlers, concierges, and private hosts delivering bespoke experiences. From arranging last-minute appointments with Mayfair’s top tailors to orchestrating exclusive shopping tours or designing culturally sensitive in-room dining, every detail is handled with precision and discretion.
It is this personal connection — remembering names, preferences, and rituals — that has cultivated a loyal following from the Middle East, America, and across Europe, with guests returning year after year.
Events with Impact
The Biltmore Mayfair is as much a destination for events as it is for leisure. Its grand Ballroom, accommodating up to 600 guests, is a stage for everything from glamorous galas to prestigious conferences. Smaller venues like The Chairman’s Suite and The Blue Room provide intimate, elegant spaces for private dining or high-level meetings.
A Hub for Luxury & Lifestyle
Beyond its own walls, The Biltmore actively engages with the wider luxury landscape. Partnerships with prestigious brands, from Veuve Clicquot terrace takeovers to Boodles jewellery showcases and collaborations with French designer Moulin Soulier, transform the hotel into a living stage for fashion, fine craftsmanship, and high-end lifestyle.
Its reputation has been further cemented through features in Harper’s Bazaar, The Times, The Financial Times, and The Telegraph, reinforcing its position among the world’s top luxury destinations.
