The Washington Mayfair Hotel
The Washington Mayfair is a four star hotel in London's Mayfair district.
History
The Washington Mayfair Hotel's origins go back to the 19th century when individual houses on the site were used as boarding houses for visitors requiring a Mayfair address. They were so popular that eventually enough houses were incorporated to allow their demolition and the reconstruction of wounded soldiers returning from the front.[clarification needed]
Returning to its original use as hotel at the end of the war, The Washington Mayfair Hotel became the favoured home of various individuals such as the Italian painter, Pietro Annigoni, American socialite Laura Mae Corrigan, and American actress Tallulah Bankhead. It also had a reputation as a musical venue and in 1953 the singer David Whitfield was discovered and went on to stardom after sometime as resident singer.[1][failed verification]
Legendary Indian matinee idol Dev Anand died at the hotel on December 3 night in 2011.
