Located in the heart of Fitzrovia, The Mandrake offers a different kind of setting to celebrate the festive season. From intimate dinners to parties that carry on late into the night, the hotel’s spaces offer something far removed from the traditional Christmas celebration. So, if you’re thinking it’s time to shake things up and toast the year with something your guests are guaranteed to remember, The Mandrake should be top of the list.
At the heart of the hotel, YOPO Zaytoun is made for long tables and shared plates. Inspired by the warmth and generosity of the Eastern Mediterranean, colourful mezze, warm flatbreads and dishes from the grill arrive at the table to be passed around and discovered together. It’s all about sharing and connection. Around you, original artwork, candlelight and the restaurant’s spectacular tree installation set the scene for a festive dinner with a distinctly Mandrake edge.
For more intimate Christmas parties, The Greenhouse overlooks Jurema Terrace, surrounded by greenery and tucked away from the rest of the hotel. Here, you can host up to eight guests surrounded by exotic medicinal plants. Or, look to The Private Dining Room for a different mood entirely, complete with dramatic red-lacquered walls and ceilings creating an intimate setting for dinner with a secluded, exclusive feel.
Alternatively, there’s the Jurema Terrace. Hidden beneath hanging jasmine and passionflower, with the Courtyard’s towering Tasmanian tree ferns rising above, this space transforms especially for winter, with its cosy fur throws and enigmatic festive styling. It’s a fantastic spot in the middle of Fitzrovia for cocktails before dinner, or for taking the evening somewhere a little less expected. And when the night is not quite ready to end, The Mandrake’s individually designed rooms and suites are only a few steps away.
