Historic HotelThis hotel has been Mayfair Village's pride since early 19th century. It started as an offshoot of Grillion's hotel containing 2 houses owned by the Duke of Westminster. It was renovated into its own and formally opened in 1897 as The Coburg. It was renamed during the World War I to The Connaught to commemorate Queen Victoria's son, Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn.
