Carlos Place · Mayfair · W1K

The Connaught Hotel Chauffeur Service

The Connaught occupies one of Mayfair's quietest and most exclusive addresses — Carlos Place, a short private street where discretion is the defining quality. Since 1815 the hotel has welcomed royalty, diplomats, and global business leaders who value absolute privacy as much as the two-Michelin-starred Hélène Darroze restaurant and the legendary Connaught Bar. Arrival here is a signal in itself.

Imperial Ride understands what The Connaught's guests expect on the kerb: a vehicle that matches the address, a chauffeur who does not need to be told twice, and timing that is exact. We coordinate in advance with the hotel's concierge team and hold on Carlos Place until you are ready — no rushing, no waiting in a lobby.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does my chauffeur wait at The Connaught?
Your chauffeur holds on Carlos Place, W1K 2AL — directly outside the canopied hotel entrance. Carlos Place is a private, quiet street with no waiting restrictions, so your driver can remain at the kerb until you are ready to depart. You will receive a live location SMS when your driver arrives.
Can your driver wait on Carlos Place while I finish checking in or collecting luggage?
Carlos Place is a quiet residential street with no red lines during daytime hours. Our driver can hold position for up to 15 minutes without difficulty. For longer waits — a checkout taking more time than expected, for example — the driver will circle the Carlos Place and Mount Street block and return on your call or text.
The Connaught operates a valet service — how does that interact with a chauffeur collection from the Coburg Bar?
The Connaught's valet lane is for hotel-managed vehicles. Imperial Ride chauffeurs use the kerbside on Carlos Place rather than the valet area. For evening collections from the Coburg Bar, your driver will send an SMS on arrival and wait on Carlos Place within sight of the entrance. Text when you are 2 minutes from the door.
