Hotelier & Hotel Design - December 2013
London
Bond Street, Park Lane, Mayfair. All of the coveted properties of the London Monopoly board line the path to our hotel. We’re in for something very special. As we approach Jermyn St, we catch our first glimpse of the elegant Cavendish Hotel. The Façade of the imposing Fortnum & Mason, against the backdrop of the London hustle and bustle, give us the first inkling of a wonderfully placed hotel. As we step inside, friendly faces, warm glowing lights and very comforting, private seating areas meet our arrival.
Both the bedroom and sitting room are illuminated with Beautifully crafted lamps and swathed in sensuous materials – velvet, silk, leather and cashmere. Modern aristocracy with a wink and a nod to contemporary style 40 best sums up the vibe.
The Washroom is large and made for two, with a huge inviting shower, and a deep bath. The essentials are laid on along with some of the items that give the extra touch. The Bedroom gives you more room than you need, a 42”, double sided wardrobe and enough seating for a small family. The real star of the Cavendish is Petrichor Restaurant. This food deserves a page to itself, everything so perfectly married with the flavours on the plate, the beauty on the eye and the excellence of the service. A fantastic experience on its own, if you don’t have the time to stay. Puzzling that they hold a 4 star rating, given the 5 star populated area, with several of those at least a mark below, The Cavendish. Certainly a star of Mayfair on it’s own!
