History of the Hotel
The building, which dates back to 1618, was originally the site of a shepherd's cottage – known as Mayfair's oldest house. During the Blitz, in the winter of 1940, the cottage was destroyed when a bomb struck a building opposite.
A plaque above the hotel reads:
:"On this site, until destroyed by bombing during the winter of 1940, stood an archway and Mayfair's oldest house. ‘The Cottage 1618 A.D.' from where a shepherd tended his flock whilst Tyburn idled nearby.”
The hotel building has been updated a number of times over the years.
