Stayed here as part of our long holiday through Europe. It was the perfect place to finish an European holiday. The room was beautiful and everything was extremely comfortable. Nothing was to much for the staff. Everyone was attentive and polite. I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in London. More

The Sofitel St James in London is in an ideal location, within walking distance of several attractions (such as the Royal Academy, Trafalgar Square), shopping (Bond Street) and underground stations (Green Park, Piccadilly Circus, Charing Cross). Despite the central location the hotel is very quiet and serene. When you first walk into the lobby you realize this is a sophisticated... More

This is beautiful hotel in a wonderful old building. It is very well run, the staff are extremely helpful.
