Inside Mayfair’s ‘most luxurious’ rental home – yours for £30,000 a month
A new-build apartment which has been dubbed Mayfair’s ‘most luxurious’ has just hit the market, and is available to rent for anyone who happens to have a spare £30,000 a month.
The 1,593 sq ft Apartment 3.05 sits within Clarges Mayfair, a grand Portland Stone block overlooking Green Park which is collectively valued at £160m.
Built to tempt the international super-rich, Clarges is said to house more millionaires and celebrities than any other London new-build – although the identity of the latter remains under wraps. The apartment is the first in Clarges to be offered for rent on the open market and has its own entrance hall, reception room, two bedroom suites and designer kitchen, as well as seven Juliet balconies.
The interiors were created by Martin Kemp Design which has kitted out ultra-prime homes, private jets and super-yachts for the likes of Tom Ford and Roman Abramovich.
The colour palette is emerald, charcoal, brass and cream, inspired by the colours of Green Park, and design features include coffered ceilings, bespoke joinery, full-height doors and windows.
The living area is designed around a large, built-in plasma screen surrounded by bespoke shelving and a crescent-shaped couch and coffee table. This leads on to a dining area which seats eight. The bespoke Boffi kitchen includes dark timber veneer cabinets, book-matched marble worktops and stone slab flooring. The marble theme continues into the master bedroom suite, which has a book-matched marble bath and walk-in shower, and visitors get their share of marble too, with marble wall finishes in the guest shower room.
Clarges comprises 34 apartments in total, as well as the sort of amenities you would find in a five-star hotel. A 60ft atrium runs the height of the building, crowned by a domed lighting sculpture by Yasemen Hussein. There is also a resident’s lounge, 25-metre swimming pool, hydrotherapy spa, gym, private treatment rooms, saunas and steam rooms. Clarges even got the first new Mayfair postcode in 20 years for its private access road.
Apartment 3.05 is being marketed by Wetherell for £7,500 per week. “Why rent a large suite at The Lanesborough or The Berkeley when you can let this apartment at Clarges Mayfair and have the luxury of your own private home, and all the benefits of a luxury hotel?” asks chief executive Peter Wetherell. It’s certainly a nice decision to have to make.
