THE STAFFORD
(MAYFAIR · LONDON · 2020)
Step past stately wooden doors into a panelled lobby with a roaring fire, deep leather armchairs and mahogany side tables topped with fresh blooms—it feels like finding a hidden shooting lodge between Piccadilly and Green Park. The soft cornicing, floral chintz curtains and masterful woodwork are nods to timeless English comfort, carefully refreshed under London’s Rosendale Design to avoid “charm‑crushing modernisation.
Guest rooms span three characterful buildings: the Main House offers four‑poster beds under plaster cornices; the Carriage House (once noble stables) retains exposed beams, iron balustrades and quirky curved headboards upholstered in geometric fabrics; the Mews Suites are sleek, contemporary art‑wall, while the Park Suite combines deep emerald velvets, bespoke wood joinery and a hidden staircase leading to an outdoor terrace overlooking the courtyard
Mayfair hush and country‑house calm in the heart of London.
