Alfred Dunhill

Bourdon House, a stately Georgian mansion, once home to the Duke of Westminster, is the Alfred Dunhill flagship store and something of a gentleman’s club. There’s a lovely central courtyard walled off from the street that you pass through to enter the shop. Polished wooden floors, Oriental carpets and handsome brass columns offset the essentials of the well-dressed man that are sold on the main floor. Upstairs, a museum of the company’s artifacts complements the custom leather and menswear. After having a tailor take his measure, a man can also visit the on-site barber. His “shop” is outfitted with wood paneling, caramel-colored leather barber seats and plasma TVs. The basement boasts a bar and one of the sleekest private cinemas in the city. Alfred’s, a private members club in the adjacent wing, features four bedrooms, a stately restaurant and even a chauffeur driven Bentley. Membership is by invitation only.
