Sous Chef

Montcalm Mayfair

United by timeless style and peerless service, Montcalm Collection is London’s compendium of luxury hotels. Housed in elegant Georgian townhouses, an 18th‑century brewery, heritage headquarters and a diamond‑shaped skyscraper, each hotel reveals a different chapter in the city’s story. The hotels in the collection include a historic brewery, reimagined as a vibrant modern hotel:
Montcalm Brewery. A storied city‑slicker, housed in the former headquarters of the Royal Mail:
Montcalm Royal London House. A property with a bold new perspective at Montcalm East, part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection. And a duo of mindful hotels which set a slower pace:
Inhabit, Southwick Street and Inhabit, Queen’s Gardens, both part of Design Hotels.

Our flagship hotel is on the brink of a bold new era. Its Grade II‑listed building on the cusp of Park Lane has been sensitively refreshed by architects Holland Harvey. Interiors are being rejuvenated by Studio Mica and Studio Est. We have added a new signature restaurant helmed by a world‑famous chef, alongside a dapper lounge and bar. Communal areas, bedrooms and suites have all been artfully redesigned;

our spa and Grand Ballroom will re‑emerge as modern icons.

Conscious, cultured, characterful, and considerate, Montcalm Mayfair is a five‑star hotel set on a historic crescent that sits proudly at the top of Park Lane, steps from Hyde Park and the West End, with a toe in Marylebone, bringing a fresh, holistic hospitality approach to London luxury. The respectful, sensitive full restoration includes a wellness space, community‑welcoming public spaces and a restaurant helmed by an internationally‑acclaimed chef.
