Grosvenor Square places the hotel in the heart of Mayfair. Bond Street, Mount Street, Oxford Street, and Hyde Park are close. Guests can walk to shops, galleries, private clubs, and many top places to eat. Bond Street station links to the Elizabeth, Central, and Jubilee lines. This makes Heathrow, the West End, Canary Wharf, and other parts of London easy to reach by rail.
The former embassy gives the hotel a clear place in modern London history. Architect Eero Saarinen designed the original building, which opened in 1960. Its broad front, eagle, and mid-century form remain key parts of the site. The new plan adds floors and reshapes the inside for hotel use. The work keeps the listed character while making room for suites, food, art, events, and a large spa.
