Experience The Art of Welcoming at Mandarin Oriental Mayfair

This summer, Mandarin Oriental Mayfair invites visitors to experience hospitality through a different lens with The Art of Welcoming - an inspiring new exhibition celebrating design, craftsmanship and the simple act of making people feel at home.

Created in partnership with Mayfair Design District and the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust (QEST), the installation transforms the hotel into a cultural destination where every space tells a story. From the entrance lobby to the rooftop, guests can discover thoughtfully curated works by leading contemporary artists and makers, each exploring how beautifully crafted objects, materials and interiors can shape the way we experience a place.

Running until September 2026, the exhibition is the latest chapter of The Living Square, Mandarin Oriental Mayfair's ongoing programme of cultural collaborations inspired by Hanover Square's rich creative heritage. It's a chance to experience world-class design beyond the gallery.

Whether you're stopping by for lunch at the Atrium Restaurant, enjoying cocktails overlooking the city at Hanover Bar or simply exploring the neighbourhood, The Art of Welcoming offers a fresh way to discover Mayfair's thriving creative scene.
