The Mayfair borough of London is home to some of the most exclusive and beautiful hotels in all of England. Centrally located, Mayfair earned its name in the seventeenth century when it played host to the annual May Fair; although the festive event was moved from the area in 1764, the name stuck.
Mayfair became a prosperous residential area, but over time the valuable property in the heart of London was given over to commercial and professional concerns. Today, as a noted shopping district, Mayfair attracts the rich and famous in London society and has been immortalized as the most valuable property on the British Monopoly board.
The London Hilton
Mayfair is renowned for having the highest concentration of luxury hotels in all of London. One noted Mayfair hotel is the London Hilton Park Lane, a five-star hotel, this super chic hotel is famous for its 360 degree views of London from the 28th floor restaurant (Galvin at Windows).
