The Best Europe Hotel Openings of 2023

1 Hotel Mayfair, London

1 Hotels set down roots for the first time in Europe with a location in Mayfair. The nine-story, 181-room property was built to BREEAM standards, maintaining 80 percent of the existing structure. In keeping with the brand’s sustainable ethos, G.A Group incorporated upwards of 1,300 individual plants property-wide, while the lobby boasts a chandelier enveloped in live Spanish moss and a check-in desk made from a 200-year-old naturally felled oak tree from Sussex.
