The Albany is a majestic apartment building in the heart of Mayfair with a unique history. It was originally constructed in the late eighteenth century as a London mansion for the Duke of York by the celebrated architect Henry Holland.

In 1802 it was separated into 69 bachelor apartments, becoming home to many of London’s most celebrated aristocrats, politicians, writers and artists. Over the years, residents have included the poet Lord Byron, the Prime Minister William Gladstone and the playwright J.B. Priestley.

From here, the world-class restaurants and shops of Mayfair are close. Green Park and Hyde Park are both within walking distance, while the West End is also nearby.
