Dunhill

didn’t go for the grooming or suits lol, but they did have a little café outside across the street from Hedonism. We went and had a little mezze plate and it was really yummy! they do have a little wine list too. The little courtyard dining area is darling and quaint, and I would love to come back, just not for the grooming treatment on the inside ;)

Great great place. Ask for K the store manager he is amazing and assists you with custom items, limited addition items and knowledge about the brand and offerings. I’m always a fan of Dunhill but I learned more about the custom items offered and services provided. Still my favorite Brand.

What an amazing experience! Full service spa, barber, cigar humidor and bar! Not to mention the fine clothing and accessories that every gentleman needs here at Alfred Dunhill. This is their flagship store and this one certainly doesn’t disappoint! I was greeted with top grade service and I was offered a cold water or beverage upon entering the front doors. I immediately headed downstairs to their cigar humidor where I enjoyed a hot espresso in their media room and then enjoyed selecting from their well stocked cigar room with every major cigar label Cuba has to offer!

This is a place where the discerning gentleman can shop and be pampered without feeling emasculated. With a vast selection of men’s clothing and accessories, this is also a good place for the ladies to go if they are looking for an exclusive present for a man.
There is a spa on the second floor and to all gentlemen reading this, if you have never had a professional wet shave this might be the best place to have one. I recently visited this shop during the course of a Cities in Sound Cuban Cigar Walk (
) and the men in the group who had already been here for a shave were raving about the experience.
There is also an outside café, a bar in the lower ground floor and, although you will find nought about it on their website, there is a walk-​in humidor with a vast selection of cigars.
Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Alfred Dunhill is a well kept secret smoking venue with a private cinema (available for anyone to hire), great secluded courtyard and a cabinet of pipes.
Stop in for a coffee and sample one of the fine cigars from their well stocked humidor. If you can ignore the ‘business types’ who have no doubt stopped in to talk about mergers and acquisitions this is a great place that would easily impress your friends.

For the ultimate in masculine grooming (and a bit of Mayfair pampering), the Barber at Alfred Dunhill offers
an exquisite and relaxing wet shave and hot towel face massage.
For £60, Dunhill’s Deluxe Shave is a sure thing for when you need to feel like a new man. Just settle back in the barber’s chair and leave the rest to the professional (who at the time of writing this piece was an affable gentleman with more than 50 years experience as a barber). Booking is recommended but my experience has been that, unless you try to go at lunchtime, you should be able to slide right in without an appointment. However, I must confess that waiting a little while in this establishment committed to advancing the pursuit of male indulgence is pretty nice.
Ease into the plush leather sofas and crack open the day’s paper. Enjoy your complimentary drink and admire the décor particularly the shrines to man’s men icons, featuring clean shaven photos of Steve McQueen, James Coburn and Oliver Reed. One of only three Dunhill homes (the other two are in Tokyo and Shanghai), the Davies Street Alfred Dunhill location in the heart of Mayfair (just a catty-​corner skip from leafy Berkeley Square) is in Bourdon House, the former London residence of the Duke of Westminster.
Obviously, sixty quid ain’t cheap, and equally evident is the fact that you’re paying for the fancy and historic real estate. But, the Deluxe Shave is a worthy luxury if you can spare the cash (there is a £40 Classic wet shave option sans the towels and massage). I mean, on my last visit, there was a moment when it felt as though I were melting into the chair. The hot towel face massage is wonderful gradually going from tepid to super hot in a process of several towel changes with the last towel being icy cold. Aaahhh! Refreshing! And with results too! My cheeks were smoother than a baby’s butt (the wifey certainly noticed). Nice.
Unfortunately, this isn’t the sort of thing I can afford to treat myself to with any regularity. But I’m definitely keeping it in mind for the future. Every single second of this luxury wet shave and hot towel face massage is a pleasure.

Bourdon House is the main London boutique of Alfred Dunhill. This famous English luxury brand offers the very best in classic high end menswear and accessories. While hidden away from the crowds of tourists that dominate nearby Bond Street, this excellent store has plenty to offer to those who appreciate top class traditional fine men’s fashion.
Dunhill is renowned for its sophisticated conservative style, offering a particular elegant blend of the tradition and modernity in its designs. Top quality classic wear is what Dunhill specializes in and it does its job particularly well.
On the ground floor there is a general clothing section, offering both official and casual products. There is a good choice of top quality suits, shirts and sweaters. There is also a great selection of jeans, summer trousers and polo shirts of different styles and colours. The designs of most items are certainly conservative, aiming at older customers who appreciate the quality and seriousness in clothes.
There is also a selection of high quality leather briefcases and handbags, both official and casual. Among the accessories available are some elegant pens and lighters. There’s an excellent choice of creative cufflinks, which Dunhill is particularly favored for by many men. Cufflink designs featuring animals of the Chinese calendar as well as others are particularly impressive.
On the first floor, there’s a room showcasing the most exclusive and limited edition Dunhill products such as the finest leather shoes and handbags of the collection.
Prices are similar to most upmarket competitors. While Dunhill suits are of brilliant quality, made from only the best fabrics, with innovative techniques, they tend to be fairly pricy. The casual wear can be acquired at pretty good value though, many items costing in the range of £100.
