Nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Mayfair, St. James's Hotel and Club is a timeless sanctuary where British heritage meets contemporary luxury. Since its inception in 1857 as an elite gentleman’s club, it has served as a sophisticated "home away from home" for diplomats, authors, and stars of the silver screen.
Stepping through its doors, you leave the bustle of London behind for an atmosphere of refined intimacy. The hotel is renowned for its modern English elevated cuisine by Executive Chef William Drabble, whose menus celebrate the finest seasonal British ingredients with meticulous technique. The collection of suites feels more like private residences than hotel rooms, many featuring rare private terraces overlooking the St. James’s skyline.
What truly defines the "St. James’s story" is its blend of history and heart. Whether you are sipping a signature cocktail in the elegant bar or enjoying the celebrated Masterpiece Afternoon Tea, you are participating in a legacy of hospitality that has spanned over 160 years. It remains a hidden gem for those who seek the quintessential London experience: discreet, opulent, and utterly unforgettable.
