Cambridge House—a historic mansion in Mayfair, London—is to reopen as a luxury hotel and member club in 2023. Previously put forward as the principal private residence of a member of the English royal family and a social powerhouse that will have 102 rooms by Auberge Resorts Collection elevated to pay respect for its 18th-century grand design with fantastic views over the nearby royal parks.
One of the grand Palladian mansions of the 18th century, Cambridge House, located in the very heart of Mayfair, London, has a great deal of history attached to it. It has been used for considerable years as a royal residence for one of the sons of King George III and as a social center of parties thrown by Henry Temple back in the mid-1800s, who acted as the prime minister during that very time. More recently, it was used as the naval and military club, known familiarly as the “In and Out” club from the signs outside, with Prince Philip as its president.
Next year, the Cambridge House will be reopened as a luxury hotel of 102 rooms, part of the Auberge Resorts Collection. It’s a company specially providing elegant, high-end hospitality and committed to the restoration of original Georgian splendor inside these storied walls. State-of-the-art amenities and services will be provided but with the historic feel and architecture maintained.
Listed Grade-I—the same category as Blenheim and Buckingham palaces—Cambridge House is indeed a gem that will be treated with great care by Auberge Resorts Collection, from the ceilings reaching 19-foot heights and their original fireplaces down to its intricate plasterwork. These are what can ensure a historical feel as guests are treated quite luxuriously.
Different schemes adorn these suites, all with a vivid taste of the original style of the Georgian period. At the windows, there will be views of greenery—close-by royal parks and the residence of incumbency of the present king. It is this blend of historical design and surroundings that makes for a very unique and memorable stay.
Also among the quainter aspects of Cambridge House that are going to be preserved for posterity – “In” and “Out” signs, so dear to its history, are located at the entrance to greet guests and infuse the luxury setting with a sense of nostalgia.
That, in that respect, is the first UK property for Auberge Resorts Collection, underscoring its commitment to continued growth in the world’s most desirable locations. They aim to provide an unforgettable guest experience that salutes the past and the present by conserving historical elements of Cambridge House and adding modern luxury.
In summary, the conversion of Cambridge House into a luxury hotel and members club is going to raise the stakes in Mayfair. This rich, storied history, coupled with the guidance of Auberge Resorts Collection, will ensure that this old mansion inaugurates an era of continued landmark elegance and opulence. People will get the chance to experience the grandness of living in the Georgian era but in modern surroundings with all the luxuries one can imagine.
