The building

JW Marriott Grosvenor House London

Built as a hotel in 1929 on the site of the former home of the Dukes of Westminster and Gloucester, designed by L. Rome Guthrie with Sir Edwin Lutyens; the Great Room, in use since 1929, began as an ice rink where the young Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret learnt to skate.

Beaverbrook Town House

Two Georgian townhouses opposite the Grade II-listed Cadogan Place Gardens, restored for £25m in partnership with the Cadogan estate; interiors by Nicola Harding with Beaverbrook's creative director Sir Frank Lowe, imagined as Lord Beaverbrook's own London house in an Anglo-Japanese key, with Hokusai and Hiroshige prints in the restaurant. Opened September 2021.
