Those who don’t (yet) have a ridiculously chic friend living in the city with a spare room will find this to be a fitting alternative. Not so much a hotel as a temporary residence with hotelier benefits, No. 5 Maddox Street has 12 sweet suites and apartments hidden behind its unmarked door.
Cream colour palettes like an Armani catalogue, big solid dark wood furniture, bamboo flooring and Frette linen come in one, two and three bedroom arrangements, variously with working fireplaces, kitchens, covered balconies or planted terraces.
Wi-Fi is free throughout, you’ll find REN amenities in the bathrooms, a mini bar with ‘good’ and ‘bad’ options as well as room service and delivery from acclaimed Thai restaurant Patara or ingredients from Whole Foods, 24 hour concierge and complimentary membership to the Fitness First gym at the nearby Kingly Street for the duration of your stay.
Located in swanky Mayfair around the corner from hotspot Pollen Street Social, the likes of Savile Row, New Bond Street and Mount Street are practically wiping their feet on the door mat. Perhaps say “thanks, but no thanks” to your mate’s sofa next time you’re in town unless he, too, is planning on welcoming you with an Artisan du Chocolat tray.
