The four-storey property in Mayfair has a reception hall, drawing room, library, two bedroom suites with walk-in wardrobes and private underground parking.
The top floor of the luxury central London home is a self-contained bedroom suite with sitting room, terrace, dressing room and bathroom.
There are two further bedrooms on the lower ground floor with two bathrooms, another dressing room and the kitchen.
The landmark central London house has a place in history as it was where Princess Diana was first introduced to the al-Fayed family at a lunch party in 1996.
Diana’s stepmother, Raine Spencer, encouraged her to get to know the family, including Dodi al Fayed.
Diana went on to have a brief relationship with Dodi until they died together in a car crash in Paris in 1997.
Since the early 2000s, the house has belonged to the founders of Pyms Gallery in Mayfair, Alan and Mary Hobart.
The property is now being sold on the instructions of their executors.
"With its aristocratic and royal connections, we anticipate significant interest in this house from discerning buyers around the world. It is a trophy home with an illustrious history," said Danish Arif, head of Mayfair sales at estate agents Chestertons.
