The Mandrake

Steps from Oxford Street yet worlds apart, The Mandrake is a sultry, art-soaked boutique hotel wrapped around a jungly courtyard of jasmine and passion flower. Thirty unique rooms and suites, plus a dramatic penthouse, rise above hanging gardens; inside, LED-lit accents, plush robes and luxe amenities set a moody, romantic scene. Jurema Terrace brings alfresco dining to life, while YOPO Restaurant & Bar serves a Latin American menu rich with South American flair and botanical-inspired cocktails. Members-only spaces thrum with live music and DJs from Thursday to Saturday, lending weekends a decadent, urban-bohemian beat. With the British Museum close by and the West End theatres a wander away, culture comes easy—then it’s back to your secret garden for late-night whispers. For bold couples, The Mandrake is pure London seduction.
