Providing a sensory experience, second only to a stay in the suites, is the collection’s newly launched website, www.themayfairsuites.com, which gives potential visitors an up-close look at each suite. Here, step inside the Penthouse Suite’s sprawling limestone bathroom, a calming cocoon of sparkling silver tile complete with a deep sarcophagus tub and soothing rain shower. Other musts on your virtual Penthouse Suite tour include the second bedroom for a peek at its revolving bed and a span of outdoor terrace that is illuminated by night and features unmatched London skyline views. Or, get lost in the intoxicating Opium Suite, whose red-and-gold brocade window dressings, crushed-velvet-covered furnishings, dark wood floors and Asian pop art accents yield a sanctuary rich and sophisticated, while dark and decadent. Adding functionality to fashion, the website provides a virtual breakdown of each suite’s versatility, including floor plans and specifications (dimensions, technology and services), as well as the ability to draw comparisons and quotes. Through the website’s “Select a Suite” option, potential guests connect with hotel staff who will expertly suggest a suite to meet their specific needs, be it a film, photo shoot or an intimate event. A personalized, perfectly tailored stay is practically guaranteed. Beneath these beautiful surfaces lies a wealth of world- class amenities and services, which have to be experienced to be believed. Complimentary wireless broadband Internet, private telephone numbers and voice messaging systems make doing business here a breeze, while private kitchens and dining rooms mean effortless entertaining. For the ultimate under-cover entrance, the Azure Suite offers its own private elevator. VIP services include roundtrip airport transfers with full departure detail; bottles of red or white house wine; a personalized selection of fresh flowers daily; kitchen and catering for corporate and leisure gatherings; unpacking, pressing and shoeshine upon arrival; and care by personal butlers, who fulfill guests’ every last desire, from simple spa or restaurant reservations to the more outrageous and over-the-top. Whatever your fancy may be, make it reality in The May Fair Suites.
