Mandarin Oriental’s new London hotel and urban spa retreat opening 3 June
Reservations are now open for Mandarin Oriental’s second London hotel, Mandarin Oriental Mayfair, set to open on 3 June. The luxury establishment will feature 50 guestrooms, 77 private residences and a luxury underground spa retreat.
The new wellness facility – designed as a boutique counterpart to the flagship Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park spa – will cater to hotel guests, residents and the local community. The urban retreat will offer an indoor heated swimming pool, sauna, vitality pools, experience showers, steamrooms and a gym, overseen by assistant director of spa, Michelle Matthews.
Tokyo-based design studio Curiosity, responsible for the hotel's public spaces, has crafted the spa’s interiors with a vision to create "a hub of nature and art."
Curiosity says the design draws inspiration from the greenery of nearby Hanover Square, featuring a striking green Ming marble reception desk and an earthy palette of natural materials – including wood, stone and warm bronze – complemented by candle-like lighting.
Programming
Partnered with Swiss Perfection, Seed to Skin Tuscany and OTO, the wellness menu will include traditional therapist-led treatments enhanced with binaural acoustic and dynamic stimulation, designed to synchronise with brain waves and induce a meditative, relaxed state.
Noteworthy signature experiences will feature the four-handed Tranquillity of Mayfair massage therapy and the premium Elegance of Mayfair facial. Guests will also be able to enjoy NAD+ vitamin-boosting IV infusions.
Additionally, the hotel has partnered with Bodyspace to offer hyper-personalised lifestyle performance services.
Focused on enhancing longevity and quality of life, Bodyspace integrates a global network of experts in fitness, nutrition, health technologies, science and medi-wellness to deliver transformative programmes. These will include personal training, a digitally connected Pilates Reformer, a multifunctional fitness centre, swimming and fitness assessments, nutritional consultations, physiotherapy and NormaTec compression therapy.
Expanding presenceDesigned by architecture firm Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, Mandarin Oriental Mayfair is owned and developed by Clivedale London, a premier property developer based in Mayfair.
Mandarin Oriental landed in London in 1996 with the opening of Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park. The property underwent a £100 million (US$127.5 million, €117.6 million) renovation back in 2018, which included an extensive overhaul of its 14-treatment-room spa.
In addition to the Mayfair outpost, the operator has announced plans for a third London location set to open in 2028 on the South Bank, featuring a luxury hotel, spa and branded residences.
Mandarin Oriental is among the long list of top-tier hotel brands actively investing in London's hospitality scene, alongside renowned landmarks like The Ritz and BT Tower undergoing redevelopment.
