The Twenty Two has opened in London’s Grosvenor Square — a hotel, all-day restaurant and private members’ club.
The 42,500sq ft Edwardian manor houses 31 rooms, including a mews house, with an 18th-century classical French design ‘reinterpreted for the modern-day through rich, playful textures and custom upholstered pieces’.
Navid Mirtorabi, proprietor of The Twenty Two, said: “My ambition for The Twenty Two was to create a space where the creative and the curious, in London and globally, can come together and feel welcome; a living room of sorts where guests feel inspired and at home in their surroundings.”
The restaurant features an all-day menu — developed by executive chef Alan Christie — of British classics with a Mediterranean twist, which will change seasonally.
The Club at The Twenty Two is split across the ground and lower ground floor and features four exclusive spaces, reserved for patrons and hotel guests only: The Living Room and outdoor terrace overlooking Grosvenor Square, The Dining Room, The Music Room and The Vault Bar.
Speaking to the Financial Times, Mirtorabi said: “I want it to feel like a neighbourhood place,” he says, “where people come four times a week — breakfast, one or two lunches, one or two dinners, they know the people there, they feel comfortable. It’s not just a place to eat and sleep or party but a meeting point. When I go out I want to talk about art, music, I want to meet people from different backgrounds, have a different conversation. Why not in Mayfair?”
Rooms start from £440.
