Living in the heart of Mayfair, just behind Grosvenor Square on Lees Place, is a fantasy most mere mortals could only dream of. But Native Mayfair, a handful of serviced apartments that feel like one of the capital’s best-kept secrets, make it a reality—if only for a few nights. It’s located in a converted Victorian mews house on the historic Grosvenor Estate, with many original features that date back as far as 1890, amid tree-lined avenues, designer boutiques and some of London’s most famous restaurants.
Native Mayfair’s serviced apartments fall somewhere between boutique hotel chain and the best of Airbnb—they’re reliably stylish, immaculately clean and brilliantly located, giving you the hotel experience with the added freedom that comes with your own private bolthole. Ranging from studios to spacious two-bedroom flats, they’re all remarkably good value, despite the prime London location. Convenience is king, with an easy self check-in (you initially get a code then a key card upon entry) combined with 24/7 support, and lovely members of staff discreetly popping in and out as and when you need them.
Native Mayfair is a dreamy place from which to work, with reliable WiFi and a sense of peace that makes it hard to believe you’re bang in the middle of Mayfair. The style is unobtrusive and functional yet reassuringly chic, like a West End take on The Hoxton or a pared-back Soho House. Muted tones pervade, with thoughtful touches like marble-topped tables, house plants and brass lamps. In the Premium One-Bedroom apartment, there is a kitchen, bathroom with a bath and rain shower, double bedroom and a decent sized living room with a table that seats four. A large sofa and two televisions make it all too easy to relax.
In the bathrooms, there are heaps of Bramley products to plunder and, more importantly than ever mid-pandemic, everything is pristine, almost like new. The kitchen is sufficiently well-stocked for light cooking (why attempt anything too adventurous with everything on the doorstep?) and there’s a dishwasher and washer dryer.
Native has secret serviced pads dotted all over the place in London—next to Hyde Park, in the bustling heart of The City, south of the river in Borough, or further out west in leafy Fulham—as well as further afield in Manchester and Scotland. Native Mayfair is by all accounts the smartest of their properties, and it’s a quick 10 minute walk to Marble Arch and Bond Street tube stations, and 15 minutes to Green Park and Hyde Park Corner. You could amble along to the boutiques of Burlington Arcade, South Molton Street and New Bond Street; take a table and people watch on Berkeley Square (if the sun rears its welcome head); or stroll along to Hyde Park, mere minutes away, and then wander down into Knightsbridge. Book a table at Roka Mayfair on next-door North Audley Street for ritzy Japanese, or check out Mercato Mayfair for street food and cocktails. Whatever you do, you’ll feel like a fully fledged W1 native in no time.
