“Super luxurious Mayfair hideaway with a couple of magnificent rooftop suites and a Michelin-starred restaurant. Just a few minutes’ walk from Piccadilly and Jermyn Street where quintessentially British shops include Fortnum & Mason.”

Hotel review

St James’s Hotel and Club offers all the luxury you’d expect for Mayfair, plus the discreteness and privacy associated with a private members’ club (in its former guise, it counted Steven Spielberg and Michael Caine amongst its members). Spacious bedrooms and suites are both classic and contemporary, kitted out with smartphones (unlimited data and international calls), Penhaligon's products and a number have balconies or terraces. The Michelin-starred restaurant Seven Park Place, run by long-standing chef William Drabble, serves French food using British ingredients in an intimate dining room with just nine tables. The black and gold bar and bistro area, where breakfast is served, has a more relaxed menu and an extensive list of cocktails, gins and whisky. The concierge team – including a dedicated children’s expert – has been recognised by the industry.

St James's Hotel & Club

Aimed at people who want a quiet bolthole in the heart of one of London’s most desirable areas, this former diplomat's club has a genteel, British feel that matches the surrounding streets lined with shotgun shops and cigar stores. The suites are outstanding and so is the Michelin restaurant headed by William Drabble.
