Dukes London, the five-star hotel located in the heart of St James’s, Mayfair, is set to undergo a renovation project set to be unveiled by late 2025.
The refurbishment, which commenced in January 2025, involves a closure of the hotel to allow for extensive renovations. However, the Dukes Bar will remain open throughout the project.
The project is being spearheaded in collaboration with interior designer Russell Sage, whose vision aims to ensure a “thoughtful blend of modern sophistication and classic elegance”.
As part of the redesign, Dukes London is also working with a historian to uncover and celebrate its rich legacy and that of the surrounding St James’s area. It said these findings will be “seamlessly woven” into the hotel’s new identity, “honouring its heritage while embracing a refreshed aesthetic”.
Michael Purtill, general manager at Dukes London, said: “This is a momentous occasion for the hotel and we’re thrilled to embark on a new chapter. For decades, our loyal guests have cherished the warmth, charm, and intimacy that define the Dukes experience.
“This refurbishment allows us to preserve those beloved elements while creating a space that feels elegant, inviting, and unforgettable. It’s our way of ensuring that Dukes London remains an icon of British hospitality.”
