The Connaught, Grade II listed hotel in Mayfair, London, United Kingdom
The Connaught rises at the corner of Carlos Place and Mount Street, showing six floors in white stone with Georgian architecture. Its 121 rooms spread across multiple levels, accompanied by a swimming pool, spa area, and several restaurants within the building.
The building opened in 1815 as the Prince of Saxe Coburg Hotel and carried that name until World War I. The name change came in 1917 when German associations became unwelcome in Britain, and the new title has remained ever since.
The name honors Prince Arthur, Queen Victoria's third son who held the title Duke of Connaught. Guests today experience an atmosphere that combines British traditions with international hospitality, reflected in the rooms and service throughout.
The nearest tube stop at Bond Street lies a few walking minutes away and connects the place with the rest of the city. Visitors find restaurants and wellness facilities on site that can be used during the day.
Swiss hotelier Rudolph Richard ran the place from 1935 and introduced rules that made the building function like an English private house. This approach shaped the style of operation for decades and influenced how guests and staff interacted throughout.
