Intended as a residential base for longstay guests, Mandarin Oriental Mayfair’s Two-Bedroom Duplex Apartment provides a spacious, home-style retreat for guests looking to call London home – if only for a while. Spread over two floors and connected by a striking staircase, the suite’s interiors exude sophisticated, with a creamy color scheme bolstered by marble finishes and crystal light fixtures. The open-plan layout of the social areas – including dining room, Gaggenau kitchen and a lounge – ensures a seamless space for hosting, while a private study allows business to carry on as usual. The two outdoor terraces are lovely for summer soirees (fear not – there’s an outdoor firepit for when London’s weather forecast doesn’t play ball).
