When visiting central London, you are spoilt for choice when it comes to luxury locations. Yet few places have the panache and flair Mayfair does. An iconic London landmark, it is the perfect blend of high-end casinos along with the world’s finest eateries and entertainment. In this article, we discuss why Mayfair is the perfect destination for those who love online casinos. 

Why Mayfair?

Mayfair sits in the City of Westminster. On its left is Park Lane, right next to Hyde Park. To the east and the north lie Regent Street and Oxford Street. Even within the boundaries of Mayfair itself, you have Bond Street, Grosvenor Square, and Mount Street. 

If you have been playing at online casinos and want to step out into a physical casino in style, few places are as good a place to do it as Mayfair. Its streets and casinos are much more understated than those of Las Vegas or Macau. Many of its casinos are not in your face but secreted in private members' clubs and upmarket eateries. As the online casino industry has grown, filling physical casinos around the world with new players, Mayfair has remained fairly unscathed. Therefore, you can still find all the hospitality you would get anywhere else, but in a more intimate atmosphere. 

Park Lane Casino is one of the most prestigious in the United Kingdom and is sure to impress. It is often included in lists of top casinos in London. Its location overlooks Hyde Park, and it is nestled amongst the best five-star hotels in the area. 

From here, you can move on to a selection of casinos. A short walk around the block to Hertford Street and you can enter the Colony Club. Not only does it have an excellent dining menu, but it also has a small roulette and poker casino. A further short walk to the south you will find the Metropolitan. It lives by its name and is one of the busiest casinos in the area. 

Les Ambassadeurs casino is also in the area, but you do need to be a member. It is one of the most prestigious casinos and a place for high rollers. Located at 5 Hamilton Place, it is typical of an old English gentleman’s club with lots of dark wood and Chesterfield sofas. If you are lucky enough to know someone with a membership, you may just get in. 

The Crown is also in Mayfair and is another private members club. It was founded by John Aspinall in the 1960s and is situated on Curzon Street. A true character, he was obsessed with animals and also had a number of zoos. Inside there is a small selection of gaming tables, which include roulette, poker, blackjack, and baccarat. 

Evening Entertainment

Mayfair sits right next to the West End, providing you with close access to a wide range of entertainment options and world-class theater after your gaming. From musicals to dramas and more artsy affairs, you can find all types of theater to keep your guests entertained. 

One of the hottest tickets in town for food is Lucky Cat, the Asian-inspired offering from celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay. It has sister restaurants in Manchester and Miami, and all are bustling and will need booking in advance. You can expect exquisitely crafted sashimi, bao, and grilled meats. 

Another flavorsome feast is Gymkhana, a two-time Michelin-starred Indian restaurant. This serves up a small but perfect selection of Indian curries and tandoor meats. It also has another sister restaurant in Mayfair named the Ambassadors Club if you are struggling to book a table and need an alternative location. 

Informal Meeting Spots 

Mayfair does not just have to be a place for playing casino games on holiday. It can also be a central spot for quick business meetings and exchanges. There are some great afternoon tea venues for this, particularly The Palm Court. It is laid out in a beautiful Art Deco setting at the Sheraton Hotel. However, the Gatsby-like deco is not the only attraction, as it won The Tea Guild's Award of Excellence 2013. 

Burlington Arcade is actually in Piccadilly, at the edge of Mayfair. However, it has a few great places to meet. Laduree London is one of these. With its Parisian flair, this high-end bakery is famous for its macarons. If you need to pick up supplies for a quick business breakfast or coffee, there are few places that will impress as much as this. 

Thus, Mayfair has everything you need. In its small patch of land, it has restaurants, casinos, and entertainment. Just a little further and you are within central London's landmarks, allowing you everything you need to make your clients feel welcome and refreshed on their trip. Finish up your latest online table game, pull on your finest suit, and get ready for a night in Mayfair.
