The Shepherd Mayfair is starting to define its personality before the first guests arrive.
Opening in summer 2026 at 2 Stanhope Row, the hotel is placing wellness, fragrance, skincare and British craft at the centre of its hospitality offer.
Rather than treating amenities as an afterthought, the Mayfair property has built a set of founding partnerships designed to run through the rooms, suites and public spaces.
At a glance

- The hotel is located at 2 Stanhope Row, positioned as a gateway to historic Shepherd Market.
A Mayfair hotel shaped around quiet rituals
The Shepherd Mayfair has been conceived as a modern interpretation of the area’s historic mansions, where private entertaining, society and culture overlapped.
That idea comes through most clearly in the way the hotel is approaching the smaller details of a stay.
The partnerships are not simply brand placements.
They suggest a hotel trying to build atmosphere through scent, grooming, movement and tableside service, all areas that increasingly define the difference between a polished room and a memorable stay.
The setting matters too.
Stanhope Row places the hotel close to Shepherd Market, one of Mayfair’s more characterful pockets, and the partner choices lean into that sense of neighbourhood rather than anonymous luxury.
Floris brings Jermyn Street perfumery into the rooms
For fragrance and bathroom amenities, The Shepherd Mayfair has turned to Floris London, the family-owned British perfumer founded in 1730.
The house still operates from its Jermyn Street townhouse, only moments from the hotel, giving the collaboration a natural geographic link.
In partnership with La Bottega, part of La Bottega Collective, Floris has developed bespoke in-room bathroom amenities for the property.
The products will be presented in custom bottles made exclusively for The Shepherd Mayfair and placed across guest rooms and suites.
It is a fitting choice for a hotel leaning into British craft without making the result feel overly formal.
Miamo and E-Pulsive add a more personal wellness layer
The hotel’s wellness direction extends beyond the spa-language familiar to luxury hospitality.
Italian clinical skincare brand Miamo will be available through a curated in-room minibar selection, including cleansers, serums and targeted treatments.
Founded by pharmacists Dr Elena Aceto di Capriglia and Dr Camilla D’Antonio, Miamo is known for science-led formulas and protocol-based skincare.
At The Shepherd Mayfair, guests will also be able to order full-size personalised skincare protocols through the in-room dining menu.
The curated options include the Glow Protocol, Moisturising Protocol and Hydrating Protocol, allowing skincare to become part of the private room experience rather than a scheduled appointment.
Fitness will be handled through E-Pulsive, the London EMS training concept built around 20-minute one-to-one sessions.
Guests will be able to book training in their suite, in nearby Royal Parks or at E-Pulsive’s Belgravia studio.
For travellers with full diaries, that flexibility is the point.
Moatwood Gin turns service into theatre
The most theatrical partnership comes from Moatwood, the Suffolk-based premium gin producer known for its environmentally conscious approach and wild-foraged botanicals.
For the hotel, Moatwood has created a bespoke gin experience centred on a handcrafted roaming trolley.
The trolley will move through the hotel’s public spaces and suites, allowing martinis and gin serves to be prepared tableside or in-room.
Its construction adds a local note.
The wood comes from a fallen tree from Kensington Palace Gardens, before being taken to East London and hand-finished by a craftsman in Hackney.
That kind of detail gives the drinks programme a sense of place, which is often missing when hotel bars chase spectacle alone.
The Shepherd Mayfair’s opening details point to a hotel with a clear understanding of today’s luxury guest.
Its appeal will likely sit with travellers who value privacy, personalisation and craft-led touches as much as a Mayfair address.
