Luxury Holiday Apartments in Mayfair

    Mayfair

    An exclusive neighbourhood of Georgian architecture and home to countless luxury apartments, Mayfair is a haven for the city’s most perceptive residents.

    Making a statement of its regal history, the streets of Mayfair are lined with Bentleys and traditional pattern-book brick Victorian houses. A borough teeming with cultural heritage, you certainly won’t be short of things to do near Mayfair. Named after an annual springtime festival that was a far cry from its current status, it was acquired in the 18th-century by The Grosvenor family and transformed into an aristocratic playground. Now, most Mayfair apartments in London are located near a mosaic of opulent shops, restaurants and galleries with interiors as elegantly designed as their facades. Pick from the capital’s finest cultural institutions or find a spot to unwind with three Royal Parks only a stone’s throw away. Whatever your idea of the perfect day is, staying in apartments in Mayfair keep you within the charm of its intimately pastoral atmosphere while remaining above the humdrum.
