The Beaumont, Mayfair, London

It's been several years since I have been to London (I think the last time was for Kate Bush's triumphant, twenty-two night run at the Apollo, here), and with COVID variants still unpredictable, it seems that it will be a while longer before I can get back. Meanwhile, I am taking comfort looking at the newly renovated hotel, The Beaumont in London's Mayfair neighborhood.

I am enthralled with the absolutely gorgeous Art Deco theme. The building was erected as a garage in 1925–1926 by the architects Wimperis and Simpson on behalf of Macy's Ltd. and the façade was Grade II listed by Historic England in 2009.

The theme is impeccably carried throughout the hotel with Streamline Moderne furnishings, burled walnut paneling, period artworks (the 1920s portraits scattered among the public spaces as well as the rooms are lovely), and even in the tile choices for the suite baths and in the on-site hammam.
