Hannah Ricketts stayed at The Connaught Hotel in London’s Mayfair and documented a comprehensive and candid review of her experience. Although she booked a standard room under a different name to avoid special treatment, she was unexpectedly upgraded to a luxurious suite. The hotel impressed her with its old-school elegance, immaculate interiors, and branded touches throughout—even in unexpected places like coat hangers and sugar cubes. She highlighted the exceptional service from the moment she arrived, describing staff as genuinely kind and attentive. The suite featured high ceilings, a massive bed, a lavish lounge area, and a beautifully detailed bathroom. Complimentary snacks, thoughtful touches like embroidered robes and slippers, and even personalized amenities added to the luxury experience. Dining at The Connaught, including room service and a visit to the famous Connaught Bar, lived up to its reputation, though prices were notably high. The martini she tried was, in her words, “the best in the world.” Breakfast in the Michelin-starred Jean-Georges restaurant was generous and elegant, albeit a bit oily for her taste. The spa and gym facilities were modern, pristine, and well-equipped, and she noted the hotel’s attention to detail, down to motion-sensor lights and digital magazine access. Her only minor criticism was the firmness of the mattress, which may not suit everyone. Overall, Hannah found The Connaught to be one of the most exceptional five-star hotels she had reviewed, with a consistent level of care and sophistication that extended to even the smallest details.
