Absolutely fabulous stay at Sofitel London St. James! The service was exceptional, the location perfect for exploring, and the cocktails in the bar downstairs were outstanding. The team even made a birthday trip extra special with a sweet treat and “Happy Birthday” surprise. Can’t wait to return!

We so appreciate Brahim and Lucas! Brahim helped us when the area was closed to taxis and we had to go to the airport. He moved our luggage 3 blocks and coordinated w a cab and got us into it safely! That’s great service. Lucas got us checked in. Love the decor of the room and the bathroom! Love the location!

The Sofitel St James was nice but definitely not worth the price we paid. I did not feel that this was a true luxury hotel. The beds were also very uncomfortable. I believe that I did not get the room I paid for as I had a combined shower and tub but was supposed to have a separate one. The location was nice with everything close by.
