The Connaught has hosted a number of notable guests over the years including Edward VII, Charles de Gaulle, U.S. Admiral Alan G. Kirk, Princess Grace of Monaco, Cecil Beaton, Cary Grant, David Niven, Lauren Bacall, Eric Clapton, Jack Nicholson and Ralph Lauren.
The hotel was a particular favourite of actor Sir Alec Guinness, who from the 1970's until shortly before his death in 2000 would often stay at the Connaught when working in London.
A suite was always at his disposal and he would often entertain friends in the Grill or in a private dining room.
