Hermes’ Newest Maison In London Is A Design-Forward Space Spanning Across Six Buildings

Hermes opens its sixth Maison worldwide, and it’s a 2,000-square-metre edifice comprised of six buildings, housing more than 500 selected artworks on 166 New Bond Street in London. Here’s a walk through of the house’s fourth Maison in the city.

The building was first constructed in 1769 and developed into six buildings with five storeys. As of June 17, 2026, Hermes has transformed it into its fourth Maison in London, with craftsmanship that’s accentuated throughout its fifty-five rooms, four staircases, three elevators and roof terraces.

Each room is a blend of historic and contemporary elements to honour the site’s history of more than 200 years and Hermes’ clean, equestrian-inspired minimalism — all done up with the help of British craftspeople.

The building’s revamp was led by Parisian architecture agency RDAI and Artistic Director Denis Montel, with its original detailing complemented with new, one-of-a-kind ornamentation, colour, and design — and the decor is heaven for any fashion-forward aesthete.

Under the supervision of Hermes’ Artistic Director Pierre-Alexis Dumas, over 500 works of art were selected for this new Maison, including a specially commissioned horse sculpture by British artist Jessica Wetherly, found within the store’s atrium.

“Every angle is envisioned as a showcase for the collections, an immersive gateway into the spirit of the decor that is a dialogue between treasured heritage, photographs, illustrations and contemporary designs.”

Across its five floors, the Maison is dripping in British heritage and architectural design savoir-faire. The atrium (once an outdoor space) was designed by architects Foster + Partners and boasts a new steel and glass roof, now raised by one floor, with a spiral staircase below. The limestone and glass staircase, whose handmade handrail is finished in calfskin, has also been extended upwards two floors. The once-mirrored south wall is now lined in classic Manchester bricks cast in mirrored glass.

On the second floor, the Maison complements the building’s original 19th-Century mosaic floors with walls painted in a progression of pinks, alongside a series of hand-tufted rugs. These all create a sense of movement between two private salons, along with hand-finished walls and ceilings in powder pink mineral mortar, traditional wood panelling, as well as a carpet patterned with a large English floral motif in the women’s shoe area.

Hermes’ beauty, perfumes and fashion jewellery sections are nested in an imaginary orangerie, with commissioned feature walls designed by London-based illustrator Katie Scott.

To celebrate the Maison’s opening, its windows will showcase The Rocabarn, an imaginary horse grooming parlour created in crochet, knit and embroidery by English artist Kate Jenkins. This space shows equestrian friends of the house having their hoofs polished and buffed, and their manes washed and glossed before being braided – all whilst grazing on carrots dangling from the chandelier.

The newHermes Bond Street Maison is located on 166 New Bond Street, London W1S 4RB, United Kingdom.
