The Chesterfield, Mayfair, W1

Just off Berkeley Square, Mayfair, within equal distance of Green Park and Bond Street tube stations, one of London's most beautiful (and most expensive!) quarters is home to the Chesterfield, a classically English four-star hotel.

On the doorstep, a treasure of top London attractions: Bond Street, Regent Street, Piccadilly, Burlington Arcade, the Royal Academy of Arts and Green Park are just a few. A little further, but still within walking distance, are the theatres and restaurants, the nightclubs, Hyde Park, Speakers' Corner, and Buckingham Palace.

TripAdvisor named the Chesterfield the "Best Performing Hotel in Britain 2008", though this will be of no surprise to past visitors. The interior of the hotel is warm, inviting and comfortable, classically English mixed with modern comfort. Staff are available day and night throughout your stay, beauty therapists and masseurs are on call to provide in-room treatment, and the nearby Natura Day Spa is available to hotel guests at a discount.

Each of the rooms and suites is individually and distinctively decorated, yet all ooze classical Englishness, style and comfort, while providing 21st century facilities in the form of satellite TV, complimentary high-speed internet, round-the-clock room service and everything else you may expect from a four-star hotel. Some of the suites offer added luxury in the form of four-poster beds, Jacuzzi baths, or separate lounge areas.

The Chesterfield's Terrace Bar is a great venue for to have a special drink, socialise and relax to live piano music, whereas the Conservatory is the perfect spot for breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea. A traditional English roast, pre‑theatre meal, or à la carte lunch or dinner experience is available at the formal but intimate Butler's restaurant.
