The Connaught

The Connaught sits on Carlos Place. It is a ten-minute walk from Bond Street, far enough from the retail thrum to feel settled rather than frantic.

While its neighbours often lean into the flashier side of the district, this hotel projects a sense of permanence. You choose this address for the rhythm of its bars and restaurants, which draw guests from outside the building, rather than just serving those staying upstairs. The room runs dressier than the boutique alternatives nearby. Its proximity to the Royal Academy of Arts and the edge of Hyde Park makes it feel like an extension of the city’s institutions rather than a sequestered escape.
