Location
The hotel is located at 8 Balderton Street, Mayfair, near Brown Hart Gardens. It has 73 rooms, including 23 studios and suites, and opened in September 2014.[1]
History
The building was erected as a garage[2] in 1925–1926 by the architects Wimperis and Simpson on behalf of Macy's Ltd.[1][3]
Historic England note that "the façade is remarkably ambitious for a car park of this date", as well as "its importance in the evolution of the multi-storey car park as a distinctive C20 building type".[3]
The building was Grade II listed by Historic England in 2009.[3]
In 2014, Antony Gormley designed a room as a public sculpture.[2][4]
