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. The hotel is just one of a handful in London to achieve AA Red Star status.

Here is a haven of calm which seems a million miles away from the bustle of Piccadilly just a few minutes away.
