The Connaught

Hospitality Buildings

The Connaught occupies a corner site on Carlos Place in the Mayfair district of London, tracing its origins to a hotel first opened on the site in 1815 as the Prince of Saxe-Coburg Hotel, later known simply as the Coburg. The building was substantially rebuilt and reopened in 1897 in its present form, and was renamed The Connaught in 1917, after the Duke of Connaught, a son of Queen Victoria, in a wave of anti-German name changes during the First World War. Its Edwardian architecture and discreet, wood-paneled interiors have long made it one of Mayfair's quietest and most exclusive addresses, favored by a clientele that prizes privacy over ostentation. It is now part of the small Maybourne Hotel Group alongside Claridge's, and it remains renowned for its bar and restaurant.
