1 Hotel Mayfair, London 

Opened in 2023, this is the only UK outpost of the 1 Hotel Group. Its design inspired by the natural world, it's one of the most sustainable hotels in the UK with eco-credentials second to none. Overlooking Green Park, the property offers a serene retreat with great hospitality and luxurious accommodation. The interior is a blend of reclaimed materials, native greenery, and soothing natural textures, that create a calming space with a modern feel. Guest bedrooms and suites are thoughtfully designed with organic linens, eco-friendly furnishings and natural light provided by the floor-to ceiling windows. Rooms also feature in-room filtered water taps and energy efficient lighting. The Restaurant, Dovetale, uses sustainable woods and quality lighting, and there is an open kitchen at the rear of the dining room.
