Finos
Fino’s Wine Cellar opened in 1971, and
quickly established itself as Mayfair’s favourite watering hole.
On first visiting Fino’s you may wish you brought a compass to navigate
the warren of passageways leading to secret alcoves and private dining
rooms.
Mayfair Facts...
When it was constructed by Sir Robert McAlpine in 1931, The Dorchester on Park Lane was one of London’s most innovative buildings. Reinforced concrete allowed the creation of large pillar-free spaces and gave the hotel a reputation for being a very safe building. Both Dwight D Eisenhower and Winston Churchill stayed there during the war. In the year 2000, the BBC dedicated an entire programme to the London Plane tree outside The Dorchester in the series Meetings with Memorable Trees.
Mayfair's Heritage
Mayfair and its near neighbour St James’s have been synonymous with
style, success and celebrity for centuries. Today, Mayfair is the
world’s most expensive office location - easily outstripping New York
and Tokyo for rents achieved. At the same time, the value of
residential accommodation has soared.
