St James's Place, London

SW1A 1NJ  United Kingdom

The Stafford Hotel has an air of timelessness - the feel of a country house with a central London location. Tucked behind Green Park in genteel St James's, the hotel is quietly lavish while being warm and welcoming, with period furnishings and antique pieces adorning both bedrooms and public areas. Dedicated and dutiful staff play a big part in achieving this delicate balance between professionalism and friendliness.

Reviews:

"Have been staying at the Stafford for 14 years and will not stay anywhere else in London. I go to London 2-3 times a year on business and always stay there. It represents the quintessential London luxury hotel, on a very small and intimate scale, but never takes itself too seriously. Staff is constant, with very little turnover. The first bartender, Charles, stayed for over 40 years, and likely would have stayed longer had he not been prematurely taken from us a few years ago. And the Manager, Terry Holmes, has become a London institution. This is the kind of place where the barman remembers your favorite drink (and your name) without being reminded and regardless of how long it has been since your last visit. The sommalier in the restaurant can recall the bottle of wine

you drank on your previous stay and will check to see if it is still available. The Chef will prepare anything you request if he has the ingredients in the kitchen,

and if he does not, he will go find them

if you give him a little advance notice.

The Consierge (they call them Hall Porters, in the old English tradition) can always be counted on to get those hard

to find theater tickets or restaurant reservations on short notice, or to provide a guided tour of the 350-year old Wine Cellar at 2:00 a.m. after returning from a long night out (I actually did this). Guests tend to be very loyal to the Hotel, chosing to stay there year after year. And there are examples of third generation guests whose grandparents and parents also stayed at the Stafford."

All the guest rooms are individually decorated, reflecting the hotel's origins as a private home. Many singles contain queen-size beds. Some of the deluxe units offer four-posters that will make you feel like Henry VIII. Nearly all the bathrooms are clad in marble with tubs and stall showers, toiletries, and chrome fixtures. A few of the hotel's more modern accommodations, boasting king-size beds, are located in the restored stable mews across the yard. Much has been done to preserve the original style of these rooms, including preservation of the original A-beams on the upper floors. You can bet that no 18th-century horse ever slept with the electronic safes, stereo systems, and quality furnishings (mostly antique reproductions) that these rooms feature. Units on the top floor are small.
