A look at the hotel in Mayfair, which opened in 1929 and brought luxury to London on a scale never seen before, exuding American-style bravado and luring in ultra-wealthy guests. Guests included Walt Disney, Margot Fonteyn, countless royals, Luciano Pavarotti and Sean Connery, who enjoyed amenities including Turkish baths, squash courts, and an ice rink in the basement, where a young Princess Elizabeth learned to skate.
