Maybourne hotels
Grand London houses keep their own names, with restaurants and bars that become institutions.
Maybourne brings a small group of individually named hotels together, with London’s grand-hotel traditions at the heart of the collection. Its addresses extend to Beverly Hills and the French Riviera, while restaurants, bars, distinctive architecture, and discreet service give each house a life of its own.

- Owned by Qatari investors
- Worldwide: 6 hotels across 3 countries (United Kingdom, United States, France), comprising roughly 830 guest rooms and suites, as of 2025–2026

History
Claridge’s, The Connaught, and The Berkeley had established their own reputations before being gathered into Maybourne. Later openings in Beverly Hills, on the Riviera, and at The Emory extended the family into new settings. The collection’s continuity comes from the attention given to each house rather than a repeated hotel design.
