"A Westside hideaway for the creative and the curious"

AT A GLANCE: Steps away from Grosvenor Square, in an Edwardian Manor, 18th-century French opulence comes alive for the 21st-century traveler in the form of The Twenty Two. A hotel and a member’s club, it is flanked by the kind of service and hospitality that exceeds expectations at every step. Plush rooms, elevated gastronomy, and an effortlessly elegant yet cool vibe make it one of the hottest new hotels to experience. Swipe the images below to discover.

Oh, hello, most gorgeous hotel room in London!

Sweet welcome with a thoughtful handwritten note is the welcome sign of excellent hospitality

Taking a peek into another room. This unexpected combination of materials and colors is so good!

The swanky club downstairs to dine and dance the night away

Also downstairs, two outdoors and more secluded areas. Fresh and chic

What a pretty lobby. And the bell team is a delight. Fun, helpful, always the biggest smile on their faces

Mayfair, you beautiful lady

The Twenty Two Waking up to this light made me not want to leave the room. Design fun facts: there's not a single piece of leather at the hotel, the owner, Navid Mirtorabi, follows an Ayurvedic lifestyle and chose to use more ethical and responsible materials. And the floor is not made of wood, but the softest carpet with a trompe l'oleil pattern. So cool!

Not all rooms come with a bathtub, but they are all made in this crowd-pleaser black and white marble

Currently planning how to have The Twenty Two breakfast in my life every day

The Twenty Two Dining at The Restaurant. This is the only part of the hotel accessible to non-members / guests and we felt the crowd was a bit more serious here. The restaurant and club downstairs definitely had a fresher, more fun vibe. But our meal and service were exquisite

One last shot to wrap up a memorable stay. Our A Hotel Life ethos is "hotels you'd recommend to friend" and The Twenty Two surely is it

I will miss you guys!

Highs & Lows

The team! So polished yet so friendly, the kind of attitude that makes you feel special and at home. I'd go back just to see them
The design. There's something so sexy and mysterious about The Twenty Two and a really nice balance between old-school London references and more fun, contemporary design features like the lower level omnipresent leopard carpet
The breakfast and the breakfast room — which is also the room members and guests can use all-day to work or unwind. It's a beautiful space overlooking Governor's Square. The menu is one of the best hotel breakfasts I have seen in a while
The room. Bright, comfortable, dreamy. I loved spending time in it and wished my London agenda wasn't as busy so I could enjoy it even more

The hotel has a partnership with the glamorous BXR Gym, but it would have been convenient to have a fitness room where to easily and quickly keep up with sports routine or have a good stretch
