Answer to What is Wrong With This Photograph? Part 304
Click on this link to book a reservation for one night at 1 Hotel Mayfair in London on Thursday, July 10, 2025, as what is wrong with this screen shot was finally corrected: the actual room rate is now £969 and not £9,591,040 for the night. This hotel property is part of the portfolio of lodging options of Starwood Hotels. I first found out about this error from FlyerTalk member cruser1 in this discussion.
Favorite answer by Jimmy: “This wasn’t too hard. The first thing I noticed is that in the photo of the Lounge King room you are looking out the window southwest toward the front of Devonshire House. The angle of the photo shows that it is clearly a 6th floor room, and a quick check of architectural records for the hotel shows it is room 628.
“The next thing that caught my attention was the shadow on the cornice of Devonshire House. Some quick image enhancement and computer modeling confirmed that this specific shadow could only occur midday on the summer solstice, June 21. However, meteorological records confirmed that June 21 has been cloudy at midday in that part of London for the last five years, so the latest the photo could have been taken was June, 2019.
“Next I naturally turned my attention to the pillows on the sofa. I did not recall that the piping on the pillows was quite that wide the last time I was at that hotel. Sure enough through a reverse image search I was able to track the pillow to a hotel supplier in Leeds, and after contacting a company VP on LinkedIn she confirmed that that particular style of piping was first manufactured for pillows produced in March of 2019.
“Of course I immediately contacted the hotel and they confirmed what by now was a strong suspicion. While it is true that they started updating rooms on the 6th floor with that pillow in June, room 628 was not updated until mid-July. So clearly this photo is impossible, as I am sure I am not the first to note!
“Oh, and the prices seem high.”
Favorite comment by Christina C: “Maybe they’re anticipating a rush on rooms because of the Billie Eilish concert? seriously though, it is Wimbledon time so maybe they’re expecting high $$ clients in town.”
