Cambridge House, Auberge Collection

Since 1756, Cambridge House has been the home where the great and the glorious gather. The Grade I-listed Palladian-style Georgian mansion at 94 Piccadilly, which hosted Queen Victoria, served as Lord Palmerston’s proxy No.10, and housed the legendary Naval and Military “In and Out” Club for over a century, is now being brilliantly reimagined as a 102-room hotel and social club by Auberge Collection for Reuben Brothers. The lively dining scene will reflect the diverse allure the property has always exuded, anchored by Major’s Grill with Major Food Group, a dramatic brasserie in the Georgian ballroom setting alongside an open-air jasmine courtyard that is genuinely one of a kind in this part of London. Wellness at Cambridge House is wellness without restraint: three floors of facilities, including a swimming pool, bathhouse, treatment rooms, state-of-the-art gyms, and studios. Intimate bars, a sensuous fumoir for fine and rare cigar and spirits pairings, and an exclusive subterranean club round out the offering. The capital’s magnetic new gathering place is almost here.
