The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Dining Experience

The food at St. James's Hotel and Club was an absolute treat. I indulged in a good breakfast that featured a small buffet alongside a rich English breakfast. The flavors were exquisite, making each bite a nice experience. I also had the luxury of dining at 7 Park Place, where the ambiance and the food were both amazing. I highly recommend the canapés; they set the perfect tone for a wonderful meal!

Stunning Room Decor

My room at the hotel was a perfect blend of comfort and elegance. The design was tasteful, with attention to detail evident in every corner. I especially loved the spacious bed that felt like sleeping on a cloud. The luxurious bathroom featured dual sinks and a freestanding bath, adding to the overall indulgent experience of my stay. It made my time there feel like a real retreat.

Charming Atmosphere

The atmosphere at St. James's Hotel is nothing short of captivating. The numerous artworks and photographs displayed throughout the hotel add a unique character that transforms the space into a gallery-like environment. It truly elevated my stay, making it more than just a place to sleep — it was a feast for the eyes and soul, and I found myself admiring the pieces often.

Luxurious Bathroom Experience

I was thoroughly impressed by the bathroom in my suite. The design featured elegant touches, including his and hers sinks, which were extremely convenient. The large, freestanding bathtub made for relaxing unwind sessions after a long day. It was a lovely way to start or end my day while staying at the hotel. The bathroom was indeed a highlight of my experience.

8.6/10

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, where the service was fantastic and the location was wonderfully quiet, despite being close to major attractions. The room was decent for London standards, featuring a nice terrace, but the absence of a clear view and the noise from the air duct were a bit off-putting. Overall, it's a great choice for anyone looking for a friendly atmosphere and comfortable stay in the heart of the city.

Rooms

The hotel's location is fantastic, just a short walk from The Mall, making it ideal for exploring nearby attractions. The room was spacious and well-furnished, but service-related issues dampened the experience. While the dining service and breakfast were excellent, the handling of certain customer service situations left much to be desired. The cleanliness in common areas was also a concern, reflecting a need for better maintenance.

We treated ourselves to a night in Mayfair at this hotel, and while the experience had its highlights, it also came with notable downsides. The room was quite expensive yet faced issues with services and comfort. The location is superb, making it easy to enjoy the best of London, but the experience was hindered by the broken air conditioning and less-than-ideal customer service regarding our concerns.

I had a wonderful stay at the St. James Hotel with its fantastic location and attentive concierge services. I was able to see and do so much in a short time thanks to the helpful staff. However, the high price didn't fully match my experience due to some room comfort issues and service hitches that I didn't expect from a hotel at this level.

Rooms

The room I stayed in was quite dark and had an unpleasant smell, making it less comfortable than I hoped. Plus, the layout made it tricky to pass through.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While I appreciated the comfortable atmosphere and nice amenities, several issues made my experience less enjoyable. The air conditioning didn't seem to work properly, which made the room uncomfortably warm, and I faced significant disturbances from room service knockings. Overall, I expected better given the price I paid.

Rooms

6.0

The room was rather spacious but let in almost no natural light. I had to keep the lights on all the time, and it felt like I was in a cabin without windows. The bathroom, although functional, was extremely small.

Service

The service was disruptive during my stay with frequent knocking on my door, which made it difficult to get a good night's sleep. On another note, my experience with the receptionist was not favorable, as they were not accommodating.

I didn’t get the chance to dine extensively during my stay, but I did have breakfast, which was quite fulfilling if not exceptional.

Facilities

Facilities seemed well-maintained, but based on my room's temperature issue, I would say they need to improve on aspects like air conditioning.
