A five-star Mayfair hotel inaugurated by King George V, with three licensed wedding spaces, an in-house culinary team and a spa on site.
The May Fair in Mayfair
The May Fair is a five-star hotel in Mayfair, inaugurated by King George V and now part of the Radisson Collection. It is owned and operated by Edwardian Hotels London, a privately owned hospitality group. The hotel sits in the heart of W1, set amid Mayfair's arts scene, tree-lined parks and world-famous shopping. It has a long history of hosting weddings, soirées and high-profile guests, and has welcomed royalty, artists and world leaders through its doors. Every wedding is assigned a dedicated planner, who stays with the couple from the first conversation through to the final toast.
A wedding here ranges from an intimate Private Dining Room to the grand Crystal Ballroom, planned with the same calm, discreet approach to every detail, from the floor plan to the flowers. The hotel works with florists, decorators, stylists and cake artists, and planners can also work with the suppliers a couple has chosen. Dining is a major focus of the hotel. May Fair Spa & Gym sits a few floors from the ballroom, so the bridal party can have treatments before the ceremony, or a quiet facial the morning after. The stay and the setting matter here as much as the celebration itself.

Hotel stay
Bold, Central, Effortlessly Stylish
Our stay at The May Fair blended contemporary comfort with the correct dose of Mayfair glamour. The hotel felt vibrant and polished, from the sleek lobby to the velvet-lined suites designed for guests who appreciate location and lifestyle. The room was spacious by London standards, with rich textures, modern tech, and a seriously comfortable bed. Downstairs, the bar had a buzz that pulled in locals as much as guests, always a good sign. And the location? Moments from Green Park, Bond Street, and the energy of the West End. The May Fair is unapologetically modern and well-positioned, ideal for a city weekend as stylish as it is central.
