St. James's Hotel and Club

After undergoing an extensive 18-month refurbishment, this stunning 5-star hotel offers understated contemporary style, classical elegance and a long tradition of offering the highest standards of hospitality and service.

The St. James Hotel & Club has been renowned for providing superb hospitality and service since it first opened its doors as a gentlemen's chamber for the English aristocracy in 1892. Today, the hotel offers state-of-art comforts and facilities elegantly combined with traditional elegance and sophistication. The stunning accommodation harmoniously blends contemporary amenities with the hotel's long and historic tradition of exquisite service.

This London townhouse has a superb location in a quiet cul-de-sac, just off St. James's Street in the heart of London's prestigious Mayfair district. Green Park London Underground station is nearby, as are the exclusive shops and restaurants of Jermyn Street, the Burlington Arcade, Bond Street and the theatres and nightlife of the West End.

The St. James's Hotel & Club is now managed by the luxury hotel group, Althoff Hotels. Althoff Hotels operates 7 luxury hotels in Germany and France, where it has a reputation for high-quality customised service and superb cuisine. 2 of the group's restaurants have 3 Michelin stars and are amongst the best in Europe. Now the Althoff Hotels Group looks forward to bringing these qualities to London.
