1 Hotel Mayfair
London
The Rome EDITION
1 Hotels set down roots for the fi rst time in Europe with a location in
Mayfair. The nine-story, 181-room property was built to BREEAM
standards, maintaining 80 percent of the existing structure. In keeping
with the brand's sustainable ethos, G.A Group incorporated upwards of
1,300 individual plants property-wide, while the lobby boasts a chandelier
enveloped in live Spanish moss and a check-in desk made from a 200-yearold
naturally felled oak tree from Sussex.

Built in the 1940s, the former bank building that now houses the 91-room
Rome EDITION exemplifi es the Rationalist architectural style. Every
element-from the showcase marble staircase to the preserved original
lamps and statues-marries the brand's defi ning aesthetic with a sense
of history. The pièce de résistance is the hotel's courtyard garden, an
indoor-outdoor haven adorned with more than 400 plants. The property
comes amidst a growth spurt for the brand, including the arrival of its
fi rst Southeast Asian outpost, the Singapore EDITION, this fall.

Maison Delano Paris
As the iconic Delano in Miami is reimagined aſt er closing during Covid,
the brand, established there in 1995 by Ian Schrager and Philippe Starck,
is expanding with a new location in Paris. Occupying an 18th-century
mansion, the hotel is now home to 56 light-hued rooms that embrace
the architecture, the intimate Delano Bar, and the Piccasso-inspired La
Chambre Bleue restaurant, which encircles the historic courtyard.

The brand's fi rst resort in Greece is situated on the Athenian Riviera.
Formerly the Asteria beach club, a celebrity hotspot dating back to the
1950s, the revamp remains true to those glamorous roots while conjuring
One&Only luxury. To that end, the exterior slats of the curved central
building mimic traditional Greek screens, while windows frame views of
the main pool and Aegean Sea. The 127 bungalows and villas eff ortlessly
fl ow between the outside spaces and interiors, where timber and local
marble in shades of pearl white and sand meet stone feature walls and
slatt ed timber pergolas.
