Before the Metrosexual, there was the Dandy.

Situated in the Mayfair area of Central London is one of only four Alfred Dunhill “Home” locations in the world. Located in a centuries-old former residence of the Duke of Westminster, this lifestyle temple of all things Dunhill is both indulgent and tasteful at first sight. The ultimate in masculine luxury can be found here in its retail section with fine custom leather goods, menswear and gifts. There is also the private screening room, replete with state-of-the-art sound system, as well as a discreet bar; a sophisticated way to while away the hours between fittings in the bespoke tailoring room.

For the Dandy on the go, The Spa and Barber at Alfred Dunhill is a delightful find.  Revive with an al-fresco espresso before a classic cut-throat wet shave (£40) or relax with a Bordeaux and imported cigar following a gentlemanly manicure (£40). The spa and barber setting is understated and tasteful, in true Dunhill masculine fashion. There are no shrines to Shiva or floating lotus flowers to be found.  On the spa menu, you’ll find a range of treatments from the classic 60-minute massage (£90) to complete full body packages for both men and women, starting at £140. Tailored to busy executives, the spa menu also includes Express services, all under 30 minutes, including a mini-facial, basic manicure, and a foot massage (£35-£45)..

The spa and barber do not offer sauna or shower rooms, so this is not a day spa setting. But should your visit to London require some shopping and a haircut, and possibly a Cuban cigar and glass of wine on a late afternoon, one could easily find themselves passing most of the day at Alfred Dunhill at Bourdon House.
