The hotel's beginings

Flemings Hotel in Mayfair was founded by Robert Fleming in 1851, a date commemorated by the hotel's stained glass window depicting the Great Exhibition at Alexandra Palace.

Born in 1820 to William Fleming, a victualler, Robert was a servant and valet to the Marquis & Marchioness of Angelsey at 1 Old Burlington Street in London - ideal training for running a high class hotel.

The 1852 London Post Office Directory documents Fleming running a lodging house at 10 Half Moon Street (believed to have originated in 1730). The street was named after the Half Moon public house on the corner where James Boswell, best known for his biography of Samuel Johnson, lodged in 1768. In 1855 Fleming is described as running a 'Private Hotel' at 9 & 10 Half Moon Street adding 41 Clarges Street in1883.

Half Moon Street has been occupied by nobility, surgeons, physicians, legal professionals... and rogues. George Hudson, MP for Sunderland, had apartments in the hotel between1855 and 1857. Hudson, called the 'Railway King', was a railway promoter and fraudster accused of manipulating the share prices of his companies and misappropriating funds. As an MP he could not be arrested while Parliament sat, so he lodged at Flemings Hotel.

Today Flemings Hotel in central London is unique, occupying 6 interconnecting Georgian Townhouses bordering Half Moon Street and Clarges Street in central London, and is privately owned.
