Sofitel London St James

The home of modern French luxury in London, Sofitel London St James is located on Waterloo Place on the corner of Pall Mall, close to the internationally recognised landmarks of Trafalgar Square, Regent Street, Buckingham Palace and St James Park. 2019 marked a new era for this five-star hotel with an innovative redesign from renowned French interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon. Rochon's update to his original 2002 design is a masterpiece inspired by the creative, dynamic feel of society and culture of 1960's London, through the blending of bold British design with contemporary French elegance. This unforgettable time of youthful energy and innovation in art, design, fashion and music is captured in the new design and showcases Sofitel's commitment to celebrating local culture in every property. All the hotel suites offer impressive views across Waterloo Place or Pall Mall. Wild Honey St James, the hotel’s new restaurant, combines classic French techniques with the finest seasonal British produce from chef Anthony Demetre, whose original Wild Honey enjoyed 12 successful years in Mayfair. A short set lunch, early evening menu and Café menu also operate alongside an à la carte selection of dishes. The wine list features approximately 100 bins, covering both new and old world, while there are four drinks available on tap – one red, one white, a Vermouth and a craft beer. The hotel is also home to the St James Bar, an iconic cocktail destination in the heart of St James redesigned to create a truly decadent and intimate space, day or night, the delightful Rose Lounge and an award-winning Spa with Jacuzzi, hammam or steam room. The spa's globally-inspired menus also incorporate ingredients like papaya and spices along with Balinese and Ayurvedic practices. Sofitel London St James is more than a superb hotel. It resides in a magnificent building owned by the Crown Estate – a testament that it's a truly amazing structure. They top off historic aesthetics with exquisite, tailor-made service and rooms that are designed to thrill. It's cozy, located well and chock full of culinary delights. Bottom line: it's a winner.
