If you want to feel like royalty during your stay in London, then an apartment in Mayfair, fifteen minutes from Buckingham Palace, might fit the bill. Staff are ready to welcome you, with concierge on hand 24/7 making you feel like a VIP. As you enter the striking red-brick Victorian building, through a black and white tiled entrance hall, and ascend the red carpeted staircase, it’s certainly a majestic arrival. Inside, the theme is understated luxury, with a neutral colour palette that allows original features like the marble fireplace to stand out. Thick fabrics and chic, high-quality furniture will keep you comfortable, and you can even head to the residents’ gym if you manage to get up off the plush sofa. Less than five minutes west, you’ll find Hyde Park. This 350-acre parkland features a river, boating lake, art galleries, and an Italian garden – quite the natural wonder. If that’s not your thing, head the same distance east to find urban wonders such as high-end shopping, fine-dining restaurants, and swanky bars in every corner of Mayfair. And with Hyde Park Corner tube station just a six-minute walk from home, you don’t even need to keep it local.
