A Day in Mayfair - Lunch and Wellness Treatments

Home to world-class couture, culture and culinary flair, Mayfair has long been a sought-after destination for the most discerning travellers. International visitors and Londoners-in-the-know gravitate to its grand Georgian streets and secret neighbourhood gardens, with every corner revealing a new landmark experience. For those with a day to spend in Mayfair, inspiration lies in every direction. But begin at The Connaught to really discover the art of living well.

Setting a sublime scene

Nestled in the heart of Mayfair Village, The Connaught has been a sanctuary of heritage and ever-evolving design since the early 19th century.  From the 3,000-strong art collection that graces the walls to the meticulously appointed suites and rooms, every element captures the independent spirit and originality of this iconic neighbourhood.

Arrive to the sound of Tadao Ando’s ‘Silence’, a beautifully understated water feature commissioned by the hotel, and step into another world. Apart from the city’s bustle, but immersed in its culture and charm, this is a place to slow down, stir the senses and still the soul - with time at London’s finest private spa marking the perfect start to your Mayfair escape.

Serenity awaits

Tucked discreetly away from the gentle buzz of the hotel, this is the only Aman Spa outside of a resort. A haven for tranquillity and wellness, the Aman philosophy of longevity is woven through every experience. Rituals here are inspired by ancient techniques and the latest medical innovations, with each treatment designed and delivered by world-leading experts. Choose from signature journeys, spanning Grounding, Purifying and Nourishing treatments that restore and revitalise.

Unwind with a full-body massage or reveal your inner glow with advanced facials and targeted beauty boosters. Then stretch out relaxation alongside the spellbinding pool, cast in striking black granite. Before immersing in the essential oil fragrance of the crystal steam room.

Dining with distinction

After nourishing the soul, savour culinary craft by Jean-Georges at The Connaught. With its windows-for-walls, this bright and beautiful spot is perfect for a long, leisurely lunch. Settle into the dining room, or out on the terrace on sun-dappled days, for bold, global flavours with a contemporary twist. Think spicy sashimi platters, delicate tuna tartare and smoky, chipotle-dotted crispy salmon sushi. Follow up with Scottish blue lobster and grilled, market-fresh asparagus, or share the chef’s signature black truffle pizza – a neighbourhood favourite.

To Mayfair, and beyond

You could easily while away the afternoon here, or in one of The Connaught’s elegant spaces. But step out and you’ll find Mayfair in full flow. An inspiring curation of modern art galleries line Mount Street and around, rubbing shoulders with iconic brands and original boutiques, promising a window to the latest catwalk collections. Head westwards towards Hyde Park – the gateway to early evening strolls along the Serpentine, or through the picture-perfect Rose Garden. As the sun finally dips below the treetops, return to Mayfair in time for Martinis in the Connaught Bar.

Embrace The Connaught life

Whether it’s the morning’s first golden patisserie, immersive wellness rituals in London’s definitive luxury spa, or culinary experiences that spark the imagination, every moment at The Connaught is dedicated to the rare and the refined. Spend a day (or more) soaking up the art and careful craft of this hotel, and emerge with a renewed sense of wellbeing.
