The nine-storey, 181-room property in Berkeley Street overlooks Green Park and is close to Mayfair’s galleries, the boutiques of Bond Street and The Royal Academy.
Promising “a fusion of sustainability and luxury” the hotel has redeveloped an existing building, using reclaimed and recycled materials where possible and adding solar panels and living walls.
A further two floors have been built on top to accomodate 35 of the total 44 suites. These will feature floor-to-ceiling windows and outdoor spaces with views of Green Park.
The double-height Green Park Penthouse Suite is claimed to be the largest one-bedroom suite in Mayfair and can be further expanded to two or three bedrooms. It features a wrap-around terrace accessed via retractable sliding doors.
Michelin-starred chef Tom Sellers will oversee the hotel’s Dovetale restaurant. There will also be a cocktail bar and a cafe.
Plants and nature-inspired paintings will feature throughout the accommodation.
Operated by SH Hotels & Resorts, 1 Hotels has several properties in the US plus one apiece in Canada and China. Further development in Europe is in the pipeline.
“We are delighted to bring nature and our mission of sustainable luxury to Mayfair, the very heart of London, one of the most important travel markets in the world,” said Barry Sternlicht, 1 Hotels founder and SH Hotels & Resorts chairman.
SH Hotels & Resorts chief executive officer Raul Leal added: “We’ve reimagined the traditional luxury hotel experience for Mayfair by infusing our love for nature with effortless sophistication.
“With this opening we celebrate our distinctive brand’s entry into Europe and the dynamic and culturally rich city of London.”
