Excellent level of service from the moment we arrived. The staff were all friendly and couldn't have been more helpful. This beautiful hotel is in a fantastic location, 2 minutes walk from Regents Street.The Mall was at the bottom of the road and Piccadilly Circus at the top, we really couldn't have asked for a better spot to explore London...

I visited the hotel for a very early breakfast meeting and had the opportunity, prior to the meeting, to look around the magnificent ground floor, the entrance hall is cavernous yet elegant with an almost floor to ceiling glass wall with the history of the original owners of the building. Once out of the magnificent ex banking entrance hall the... More

I thank you for such wonderful a feedback. I am most pleased to hear that your first experience in the hotel was magnificent. We look forward to welcoming you also in our rooms, as St James Bar, our meeting rooms as well as in our So-SPA. Au revoir, Denis More

“Luxurious and great location”

Reviewed 13 June 2013 NEW

Initially we were a bit disappointed that we were unable to check in as our room wasn't ready (this was at 4.30pm despite check in time being 3.00pm) However this was made up for by giving us a late check out on departure...

We were here only two nights at the end of a three-week trip to Europe and wanted a place within walking distance of the theatre, the National Gallery, etc. We also wanted it to be quiet and of good quality. Sofitel St. James met all our qualifications. It is a lovely old building which has classy elegance everywhere you look.... More
