“The MAINE is the revival of this historical townhouse in the heart of Mayfair – blending old world elegance, a New England extravagance and a touch of subterranean decadence.”
Built in 1720, 20 Hanover Square is the only surviving Georgian ‘Grade II’ listed building on the newly renovated garden square, much of which was dug up for air raid shelters during the Second World War. No. 20 was the former residence of James Graham, Duke of Montrose, and is the first time this heritage property is being unveiled as the home of The MAINE Mayfair.
“Rich with British heraldry,style and elegance.”
This historical townhouse in the heart of Mayfair is a dream location rich with British heraldry, style and elegance. The best restaurant in London.

The MAINE Mayfair will have all of the elements that people have come to expect from The MAINE – excellent quality brasserie favorites, warm service and ambience & dinner with entertainment in London with just the right touch of revelry and mischief.
The Maine Mayfair
The MAINE breathes fresh life into Mayfair, grafting the present onto the past, with a blend of period fidelity and contemporary gloss. Joey Ghazal, together with London based designers, Brady Williams, have conceived an immersive town house experience divided across three levels with five distinct rooms and a 350 seat capacity. Eventually it has become the best jazz music venue in Mayfair.
