Nature has been brought behind closed doors at 1 Hotel Mayfair, an urban oasis in the heart of the capital. The 181 rooms, thanks to collaboration with artisan makers, are bedecked in sustainably sourced British oak flooring, hand-chiselled stones and reclaimed timber from British estates – and there are over 1,300 plants, shrubs and trees across the hotel. That’s before accounting for the stunning views of London’s skyline.

Four signature suites come with a dedicated VIP butler service, while all guests have access to the in-house car, an electric Audi. Then there’s the food. Dovetale serves reimagined Mediterranean classics, while the Dover Yard bar and lounge shakes up innovative cocktails crafted with natural ingredients. If you’re rushing off, there’s Neighbour’s café, with healthy grab-and-go snacks, cold-pressed juices and fair-trade coffee, as well as Nightingale in Dover Yard, an outdoor café, serving vibrant salad, hearty soups and sandwiches. If you’ve got time, unwind at the Bamford Wellness Spa. There’s a wonderful range of treatments, from facials and massages to body scrubs (available in-suite, too). Or go for a stroll – Green Park, St James’ Park and Hyde Park are just on your doorstep.

Competition closes on 8 October 2026.
