Is This London’s First Mindfulness Suite?

Opening in 2023, the eco-luxe 1 Hotel Mayfair has definitely made its mark on the London hotel scene. A stone’s throw from Green Park, 1 Hotel’s subtle, leafy facade is hidden just across the road from the world-famous Ritz, with rooms, restaurants and a Bamford spa spread across nine floors. Nature is at the heart of the hotel, and the result is a palpable calm as soon as you step foot inside – a true urban sanctuary. And for those seeking an extra dose of zen, the hotel has just revealed it is launching a dedicated Mindfulness Suite. Here’s what you need to know.

1 Hotel Mayfair’s New Mindfulness Suite

We all know about nature’s soothing effect on the mind and body – just one of countless reasons it is so important to protect it. But what about art? London-based artist Robi Walters champions the power of art to influence the mind and wellbeing, and his vibrant and soul-soothing series of works, Chakras, is at the heart of the Mayfair Mindfulness Suite.

‘Meditation has been a daily practice for me for 25 years, profoundly impacting my life in many positive ways,’ Robi says. ‘Through this journey, I discovered the chakras – seven energy centers within the body, each representing different aspects of our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. These centers are traditionally associated with specific colours, which I have explored in this body of work. The colours in these pieces are inspired by the chakra system, aiming to evoke balance, harmony, and a sense of peace in the spaces they inhabit. I hope they bring you the same feeling of tranquility and connection that I have found in creating them.’

Alongside Robi’s Chakras – vibrant collages created with repurposed and discarded materials, aligning with the reclaimed materials throughout 1 Hotel’s interiors – the Mayfair Mindfulness Suite comes with a roster of guided meditations crafted by Robi and delivered through state-of-the-art Bang & Olufsen speakers for a holistic, immersive wellness experience. This all combines with Bamford pillow mist and a handcrafted Black Cherry Sleep Mocktail hand delivered from the hotel bar during turndown to pretty much guarantee a restful sleep.
