Room was immaculate. Beds were incredibly comfortable; linens very soft. Spa arranged for extra person for massage when others were already booked.
Really nice hotel. Although the breakfast was a little pricy, it was really good quality and we highly enjoyed it. We stopped in at the bar one night for a glass of wine and the wine selections were quite good as well. Definitely recommend this hotel if you are looking for a luxurious vacation.
Spent a week in Jan 14 and was truly impressed by the hotel and staff so I chose this hotel again when I needed to be in London for another 5 days in Feb. Again, the staff was exceptional in all areas (reception, porters, bar, housekeeping). The hotel size is more intimate, which I believe allows for better service. I opted for a larger room both stays and in both cases it was very comfortable. This time my room had a mini espresso machine which was a nice surprise. I have stayed at three different Park Lane hotels previously and found the location of the Sofitel St. James to be much better. Steps from several theaters, Trafalgar Square, National Gallery, countless restaurants and shopping. It will be my first choice again when returning to London.
I needed a last minute tickets to a hot event and the concierge of the hotel went out their way to get them for me! What a great job!
Great hotel right in the middle of St. James. The staff was most helpful and the bar is superb.
Beautiful hotel, convenient location, eye popping prices.
stayed at Sofitel St. James for two nights in July 2012. location could not have been better. Picadilly lane (Subway or Tube) station was only 3 min. walk, and the park was only 5 min. walk or less. if this is your first time in london, this is the hotel you want to stay at!
This hotel was in the perfect location. It was by the hustle and bustle of Piccadilly, Leicester Square, and Trafalgar Square. It was within walking distance to many sights like the National Gallery, Westminster Abbey, and Buckingham Palace. There were a couple of tube stations within walking distance so it was easy to get everywhere. The staff was also very helpful and friendly. They would take your luggage right away, showed how everything worked in the room, and made sure we had a taxi when we were leaving. I would definitely stay here again!
Beautiful hotel great help with a fab bar. Did have a few problems not getting the right room but they made up for it. Great location and a great spa.!!
I've stayed at the St. James before and it is a good hotel. The new spa is great. We had a massage there and we both loved it but the computerized locker wouldn't let me back in and they had to get security to open it. Not a big deal though. The "delux" room is TINY. We ordered room service and there was no place to fit the room service cart. I thought I remembered the rooms as being bigger. So at any rate I upgraded us to a junior suite (it's really just a bigger room) but it smelled of cigarette smoke. I know that's not the hotels fault but I was annoyed. When you get the suite they include the honor bar at no charge but watch the final bill because all the honor bar items were on the bill but taken off when pointed out. On the plus side the hotel is perfectly located and the staff tries hard.
This hotel has perfect location, a friendly and helpful staff, and a wonderful ambiance that is unmatched in the many travels we have ventured on prior to this. I would highly recommend this hotel to anybody.
This is a lovely, quiet hotel. It is chic in an understated way. The staff is always lovely.
