Next to securing front row seats and planning your outfits, figuring out where to stay is the biggest puzzle piece of traveling to Europe for fashion month. Yes, location is everything when you\u2019re trying to calculate commute times to storied show venues in various corners of a city, and (hopefully) squeeze in some culture and local cuisine during your down time. So when mapping out my trip to London Fashion Week<\/a> to cover the Spring\/Summer 2027 season, it was a no-brainer to make the West End, specifically Mayfair, my British home away from home.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been to Londontown<\/a> a handful of times, so I knew going in that it can take an hour to get from Shoreditch to say, Chelsea, which is why the central location was key. Quick travel times aside \u2014 I got to the Erdem<\/a> show in Camden and the Roksanda show in South Bank from my hotel in 30 minutes or less \u2014 I was in proximity to the city\u2019s best dining, shopping on Bond, Oxford, and Regent streets, and famous West End theater productions when I took breaks and recharged. <\/p>\n

With the help of The New West End Company<\/a>\u2019s recommendations, see how my downtime during LFW was just as exciting (and stylish) as the season\u2019s runways. <\/p>\n

Where I Stayed <\/h2>\n

Set directly across from the Brown Hart Gardens, The Beaumont Mayfair<\/a> is a quiet, luxurious reprieve from the crowds just steps away on Oxford Street. While the discreet location makes it a true IYKYK spot, you\u2019re still within walking distance of Mayfair\u2019s buzziest restaurants and top designer shops. The historic Art Deco space oozes glamour, from the lobby\u2019s wood-paneled walls and white-and-black checkered floors to the lush neutral velvet trimmings in the rooms. I stayed in a Signature Suite, which really felt cozy and homey during my four-night stay. The accommodations consisted of a sitting room with a dining area, a powder room, a bedroom with king size bed, and a marble bathroom complete with a deep soaking tub I could not wait to get into after a long day of shows. Also noteworthy? The suite has a giant closet with ample hangers, a Dyson hair dryer at my disposal, and it comes with access to the hotel\u2019s chauffeur-driven car. <\/p>\n

While the decor had the character of a boutique hotel, the service was what you\u2019d expect with five-star accommodations. The entire team went above and beyond to make sure my stay was comfortable, from bringing an emergency steamer up to my room within minutes to delivering my (vegetarian!) full English breakfast room service order right at my requested time in the morning. <\/p>\n
