Maybourne destinations worldwide

Pierre Yovanovitch's recent guestroom interiors—hand-painted fabrics, bespoke walnut furniture, a palette of soft rose and amber—give The Connaught a residential warmth that the Mayfair exterior's formality belies, Hélène Darroze's three-Michelin-star restaurant and the hotel's acclaimed bar making it one of London's most complete luxury addresses.

Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners' Knightsbridge tower gives London its first all-suite luxury hotel, the rooftop bar commanding panoramic city views and the scale and material quality of each suite challenging the conventional hotel room format.

André Fu Studio's pale travertine and warm oak lower floors and Bryan O'Sullivan Studio's rooms of gathered drapes, aged brass, and botanical prints give the Wilshire hotel the character of a private club rather than a brand property, the open-air restaurant and rooftop pool completing a Beverly Hills address of genuine material ambition.

Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners' 1972 Knightsbridge building—Portland stone, high glazing, a structural legibility unusual for a luxury hotel—frames an interior where the Blue Bar, the Caramel Room afternoon tea, and the rooftop pool have each accumulated independent followings.
