Company Description

Since 1756, Cambridge House has been the home where the Great and the Glorious gather. The storied Mayfair townhouse reawakens in 2026. The centuries old landmark, which has welcomed tastemakers and world shapers throughout its rich history, will be the capital’s most magnetic and vibrant gathering place and experience-driven luxury hotel. The imaginative renewal of this historic property at 94 Piccadilly will capture the spirit of London like no other, providing a captivating new Mayfair destination for Londoners and international visitors alike.

Set in the historic building which formerly housed the iconic In and Out military club, the 18th Century Georgian mansion and Grade 1-listed Palladian-style townhouse will be brilliantly reimagined as a 102-room hotel. Preserving its rich heritage while offering a harmonious blend of luxuriously private and vibrant social spaces replete with unique dining destinations and Auberge spa. It will also be home to an exclusive members club set to define the new pulse of modern London life.
