The May Fair is first and foremost a luxury London hotel. Its adjoining casino amenity sits within the broader hotel complex without defining the whole stay.
The hotel offers a wide range of rooms and suites, with its strongest advantage being the combination of full-service luxury and a highly central Mayfair address.
Dining, spa and gym facilities give the property enough depth to work as a conventional luxury break even for guests with no interest in the casino.
The adjoining casino is best understood as an additional evening amenity. In our rating, location, accommodation and broader facilities carry greater weight.
Green Park, Bond Street, West End theatres and central London shopping are major strengths. The main trade-off is the premium pricing associated with a five-star Mayfair address.
