The location
Following a recent renovation by Thierry Despont, I was immediately transported into a different era when I entered The Beaumont. Think: private club old-world charm blended with chic Art Deco touches throughout, with the lobby, corridors, restaurants and rooms filled with a fascinating mixture of artwork and antiques.
The luxe experience starts the moment you step into the lobby at The Beaumont
Set beside Brown Hart Gardens, the tranquillity belies The Beaumont’s central location. It’s a stone’s throw away from Oxford Street, world-renowned galleries, and Hyde Park. If shopping and sightseeing are on your agenda, you couldn’t find a better base from which to plan your time in the capital.
Big perk: The hotel offers a complimentary chauffeur-driven house car to ferry guests around town, which I had pre-booked, and we arrived in style to watch Frozen the musical!
The rooms
The Beaumont embodies the spirit of the grand hotels of 1920s London and New York – yet on an intimate scale, with just 50 rooms and 22 suites, including Sir Antony Gormley’s ROOM, an inhabitable work of public art and The Roosevelt Suite – a presidential suite of up to five bedrooms with a private terrace.
The Classic Suite will have you feeling right at home in no time
I checked into a sprawling 60sq-m Classic Suite which boasted a king-sized bed dressed in the softest white sheets, a separate entertaining area complete with plush sofas, a dining area, a spacious desk, and a guest bathroom. This suite is ideal for families. The staff had set up two beds in the living area for my children, who were delighted to find mini robes, slippers, Beaumont teddies, and activity books to keep them entertained.
Little touches of luxury can be found everywhere, from the art-covered walls, the Beaumont-branded playing cards on the table, to the bespoke single-origin chocolate embossed with an image of the hotel left at turndown service. Everything apart from alcohol in the mini bar is complimentary.
The exquisite bathrooms at the property make for an unforgettable experience
My favourite part though? The marble bathroom was a dream, with a sumptuous deep-soak tub complete with waterproof TV, a well-stocked double vanity boasting a range of eco-friendly D. R. Harris amenities, a separate walk-in shower, as well as heated mosaic floors. Like I said, a dream bathroom!
Food & drink
Indulge in New York-style fare at The Colony Grill
The hotel’s sleek Art Deco interiors have also been recently refreshed. The iconic Le Magritte Bar serves classic cocktails and stylish snacks, while the new Gatsby Room (main image) is the perfect spot for afternoon tea or evening drinks.
At Rosi, Chef Lisa Goodwin-Allen serves classic British dishes with a modern twist. The Corn-Fed Chicken Wellington with Sweetcorn purée and sherry sauce is one of our favourites, and don’t forget to finish your meal with the Flamed Pineapple Sponge that’s served with a refreshing coconut sorbet.
Set to open its doors in 2026, Pearl is the newest addition to the dining roster at the hotel. The all-day dining spot will serve Mediterranean delights from across Italy, Spain, and Greece, and includes a terrace area.
Wellness
Step into ultimate relaxation with a hammam treatment at The Beaumont Spa
Harper’s Bazaar has named it “The Best London Spa for unwinding in style”, and the spa here really is a little gem. Inspired by the Turkish baths at the iconic Royal Automobile Club private members’ club in London, The Beaumont Spa is a calm oasis decked out in white marble complete with a steam room, sauna, cold plunge pool and hammam. Book The Beaumont Hammam Experience [120 mins, £190] for a really luxurious scrub-down.
Frequently asked questions: The Beaumont Hotel
The Beaumont is in Mayfair, central London, overlooking Brown Hart Gardens on Balderton Street. It is particularly well placed for Selfridges, Oxford Street, Bond Street, New Bond Street, Berkeley Square and the restaurants and galleries of Mayfair.
Very much so. The hotel is particularly convenient for Selfridges, Oxford Street, New Bond Street and Mayfair’s luxury boutiques. The concierge can also arrange personalised shopping experiences and local journeys using the hotel’s chauffeur-driven car.
Yes. Despite its sophisticated atmosphere, The Beaumont actively welcomes families. Cots are complimentary for babies up to two years old, while suites can accommodate one additional child up to and including 12 years old at no extra charge. There are also children’s menus, children’s afternoon tea and a collection of children’s amenities.
Yes. The hotel has interconnecting rooms, making it a practical option for families and multigenerational stays.
For a genuinely memorable stay, ROOM by Antony Gormley is the obvious choice. The bedroom is housed inside the enormous sculpture that forms part of the hotel’s exterior, creating an unusual, dark and almost cave-like sleeping space.
For a more conventional stay, the larger suites are worth considering if you want additional living space or are travelling with children.
Rooms have a sophisticated Art Deco aesthetic, with bronze mirrors, mohair velvets, sumptuous silks and marble bathrooms. Premier Rooms are around 37 square metres, while suites offer considerably more space.
Yes. The Spa & Hammam has a hammam-style design with dry heat, steam and treatment facilities. There is also a 24-hour gym for hotel guests.
No. This is worth knowing if a pool is important to you when choosing a London hotel. The Beaumont’s wellness offering centres on its hammam, steam, sauna, treatments and gym rather than a swimming pool.
Yes. Dogs and other pets are welcome both in guest rooms and throughout the hotel’s outlets, subject to the hotel’s conditions. A pet service charge of £80 plus VAT applies per stay. The hotel also provides dog beds, food and water bowls and treats.
Heathrow is approximately 26.9km (16.7 miles) from the hotel. The journey takes around 35–55 minutes by car, although journey times can be considerably longer during London’s busiest traffic periods.
For convenience, a taxi or private transfer is easiest, particularly if you’re travelling with luggage or children. Alternatively, the Elizabeth line from Heathrow to Bond Street provides a straightforward public transport option, with the hotel only a few minutes’ walk from the station.
The hotel offers airport transfer arrangements through its concierge team, and also has a chauffeur-driven courtesy car for local journeys.
The verdict
The attention to detail and the elevated service levels are what really set this hotel apart. You are greeted by name upon arrival by warm, friendly and impeccably dressed staff. Remember when I said we went to see Frozen the musical? The staff took note of this, and upon our return to our room, the children were greeted with a Frozen-themed treasure hunt. Led by the seasoned hotelier, Duncan Palmer, they certainly know how to pack in many ‘wow’ moments during a stay, and that’s what keeps guests coming back again and again.
