The Twenty Two, a new lifestyle hotel in Mayfair, is excited to welcome guests to the property over the festive period located on Grosvenor Square. The 42,500 sq. ft Edwardian manor is a Westside hideaway for the creative and the curious, housing 31 bedrooms and suites, including a mews house, as well as an all-day neighbourhood restaurant and private members’ club.
Sitting on the corner of North Audley Street and Grosvenor Square, The Twenty Two is located in one of London’s most central spots, effortlessly becoming a half-way meeting point for East and West London, perfect for christmas shopping and sightseeing.
As soon as you step into the hotel, guests will be greeted by the dazzling Christmas tree, indicating that the festive season has begun! Drawn to the Parisian feel of the building’s exterior, proprietor Navid Mirtorabi’s realisation of the project began six years prior to opening and has been the driving force for the creative vision from the outset. Mirtorabi chose to partner with Natalia Miyar to bring his vision to life, on what will be her first hotel. They looked to 18th century classical French design to inspire the property’s interior, reinterpreted for the modern-day through rich, playful textures and custom upholstered pieces.This has influenced choices at every level; minor details such as gold fringing and velvet piping, to statements like bevelled mirrors that dance with both gleaming natural daylight and warm reflections in the evening glow.
Open daily from 7am to 11pm, The Restaurant at The Twenty Two presents an all-day menu of British classics with a Mediterranean twist, spearheaded by Executive Chef Alan Christie, previously of Arbutus and the restaurant group Picture.
Christie has developed breakfast dishes to be an interpretation of modern-day classics as well as lunch and dinner menus that will change seasonally and feature a variety of dishes, boasting of the best seasonal produce. Dishes will include warm and hearty winter meals as well as their classics including the Devonshire crab salad, chargrilled grass-fed ribeye, and desserts including almond cake with poached pear and clotted cream and house-made ice creams and sorbets as well as smoothies, fresh juices and protein shakes throughout the day.
‘I wanted to create a restaurant where the menus flow harmoniously from breakfast to lunch to dinner, made up of dishes that evoke a subtle, comforting familiarity, some light and fresh, some indulgent, but all executed to the highest standards and with the best quality, seasonal ingredients.’
Alan Christie
