The Twenty Two, Mayfair, London
Where Parisian seduction meets London aristocracy
A Manor House Made for Modern Mischief
Set within a beautifully restored Edwardian manor on Grosvenor Square, The Twenty Two announces its presence not quietly, but with flourish. Conceived by former Blakes owner Navid Mirtorabi alongside Jamie Reuben — a key figure behind some of Mayfair’s most exclusive real estate — the hotel channels theatrical luxury from the very first moment. Guests step into a marble-floored lobby scented with frankincense, greeted by a cape-clad doorman and staff dressed in refined tailoring by Charlie Casely-Hayford. It’s a grand entrance that immediately signals a different kind of Mayfair experience: sensual, playful, and deeply atmospheric.
A London Hotel That Dares to Be Different
Neither industrial East End cool nor rigid heritage tradition defines The Twenty Two. Instead, it leans unapologetically into a lush Parisian-style decadence — velvet-draped, moody, softly lit, and irresistibly cinematic. Deep Edwardian blues, burnished gold, mirrored surfaces, marble details, and candlelit corners create interiors that feel intimate rather than performative. Rooms are understated in form yet rich in texture and mood. Bespoke furnishings, layered fabrics, soft lighting, and marble bathrooms blur the line between boutique hotel and private members’ residence. This is a place designed for lingering — late nights, slow mornings, room service breakfasts, and cocktails that stretch well past midnight.
Dining with a Flair for Pleasure
The dining room glows with sultry glamour. Here, chef Alan Christie reshapes modern British cuisine into something indulgent yet precise — elegant dishes delivered with warmth rather than ceremony. Meals feel celebratory rather than formal, encouraging appetite, conversation, and a certain unapologetic enjoyment of excess. The bar has quickly become one of Mayfair’s most magnetic addresses. Velvet seating, low lighting, and a beautifully dressed crowd give the space the atmosphere of a classic grand hotel bar reimagined for a younger, more creative London.
A New Chapter for Mayfair Luxury
With just 31 rooms, The Twenty Two balances intimacy with grandeur. Yet beyond the guestrooms lies a buzzing members’ club that gives the hotel its unmistakable energy — attracting creatives, fashion insiders, musicians, and a crowd drawn to style without stiffness. What makes The Twenty Two particularly compelling is that it never feels overly polished or corporate. Beneath the glamour sits warmth, personality, and a sense of ease that many luxury hotels struggle to achieve. It feels lived-in, seductive, and unmistakably confident.
