Roomer

The Beaumont

London, United Kingdom
$700-1100/ night

Book this if You want the intimacy of a private member's club with the polish of a grand dame, tucked away in Mayfair's quietest corner.

Why People Love It

  • The Colony Grill Room's clubby, windowless NY-style glamour
  • The Antony Gormley 'ROOM' suite—a literal inhabitable sculpture
  • Incredible soundproofing in a remarkably quiet garden square location

Quick Take: It feels like a 1920s time capsule, which means it's dark, moody, and expensive—if you want bright and airy, look elsewhere.

Reviewed by @gregkiep: I stayed at The Beaumont for a holiday trip and was blown away. Walking into my suite to find a lit Christmas tree was the best surprise. The walk-in wardrobe is huge, and the whole place feels so warm and private. It felt like my own luxury flat in London.

“I am traveling for a special occasion and would greatly appreciate a room facing Brown Hart Gardens rather than the interior wall/courtyard. Natural light is a priority for us.”

FAQ & Hidden tips

Everything you actually want to know before you book.

Is the 'ROOM' suite worth it?

Only for art die-hards. It's a dark, wood-paneled cave inside a giant statue. Unique, but some find it oppressive.

Does the hotel have a pool?

No swimming pool, but there is a cold plunge pool in the spa/hammam area.

Is it kid-friendly?

They allow kids and provide treats, but the vibe is very 'adult cocktail hour.' Better for teens or well-behaved older kids.

How much is the deposit?

Standard credit card hold for incidentals, usually £100-200/night.

Can I walk to Oxford Street?

Yes, it's literally 2 minutes away, but the hotel feels miles apart because of the quiet square.

Is afternoon tea served here?

Yes, in the Gatsby Room. It's a quieter, less touristy alternative to the Ritz or Claridge's.

Insider Tips

  • ✨

    Order the off-menu 'Jimmy's Chocolate Cake' at the Colony Grill—it's legendary.

  • ✨

    The spa is small but often empty mid-week; the hammam is a hidden gem for jet lag recovery.

  • ✨

    Ask the concierge for the 'curated shopping map'—it highlights niche Mayfair boutiques, not just big brands.

5 things to know before you go

  • 💡The entire 'Jimmy Beaumont' history is a fictional backstory created for the hotel's launch.

  • 💡That 5% service charge on your room rate is 'discretionary'—you can technically ask to remove it (though it's awkward).

  • 💡The 'ROOM' sculpture by Antony Gormley looks like a crouching Minecraft man from the outside.

  • 💡The Colony Grill Room has no windows, which is great for dinner but disorienting for breakfast.

  • 💡You can get a 'Seventy One Gin Martini' at the bar that costs more than a main course.
