Amazing Stay
Absolutely fabulous stay at Sofitel London St. James! The service was exceptional, the location perfect for exploring, and the cocktails in the bar downstairs were outstanding. The team even made a birthday trip extra special with a sweet treat and “Happy Birthday” surprise. Can’t wait to return!

the location was perfect, you could leave the front and walk east, west, south or north and be in the heart of it all. We walked over 10 miles a day. Loved our room! The different color options were cool, lots of creativity went into the renovation of this one time bank. Breakfasts were amazing!

Great hotel - perfect location
Beautiful hotel, with elegant rooms, excellent service and in a wonderful location. It was decked out for Easter, which was a special extra touch. We had drinks in their hip, but comfortable bar, and dinner in the Wild Honey Bistro. Other than a small issue with the TV in our room, which was fixed, it was a perfect stay.
