Welcoming, Warm & Inviting

MaryL560 4/21/2025 TripAdvisor review

We had an exceptional stay. Girls weekend with 3 generations in tow. The entire staff at Sofitel St. James was very welcoming, warm and inviting. Special thanks to Eduard! My LO did include you in her school journal. Lunch at Wild Honey was delicious. The hotel is beautiful; stately on the outside, modern and comfortable on the inside, and not overwhelming. Daily fresh apples at the front desk was a wonderful bonus. The hotel is just far enough away from the hustle and bustle but close enough for a brief walk to the action - multiple tube stations to choose from, Chinatown for late night snacking, theatre district around the corner, etc. We did use The Hotel Collection benefits program which came in quite handy. Looking forward to our next visit!

Excellent Hotel

Luxury and Accessibility Perfected at Sofitel St. James London

Daniel K. Couples - 4/18/2025 Confirmed reviews ALL

The Sofitel St. James London exceeded all expectations with its prime location in the heart of the city. The immaculate cleanliness throughout the property was impressive, and I was particularly grateful for the thoughtfully designed accessible room featuring a well-equipped roll-in shower that perfectly met my needs. The breakfast was outstanding, offering a delightful variety of culinary delights. What truly elevated the experience was the exceptional service from both the attentive breakfast staff and the knowledgeable concierge team, who went above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay. A truly first-class hospitality experience from start to finish.

Excellent stay!

An Unforgettable Stay

Anna Couples - 4/17/2025 Confirmed reviews ALL

From the moment we arrived at Sofitel St James, we were truly impressed by the warm and professional service. Every member of the staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable, creating a welcoming atmosphere that we’ll never forget. The hotel itself is absolutely spotless - everything from the lobby to our room was impeccably clean and well-maintained. It’s clear that great care is taken in every detail, which made us feel completely at ease throughout our stay. We also had the pleasure of dining at Bistrot at Wild Honey two times, where the food was delicious - refined, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Special thanks to the team at breakfast (especially Eliza) and in the restaurant, who were always cheerful and professional, adding a positive vibe to every meal. A very special thank you goes to Violetta, the Guest Relations Manager, who surprised us with a thoughtful and beautifully arranged welcome treat in our room. It was such a kind and personal gesture that made us feel incredibly valued and added a truly memorable touch to our stay. Violetta also gave us a site inspection which was highly appreciate as I work for Accor group. Violetta’s warmth and attention to detail are truly exceptional, and we are so grateful for her hospitality. If there’s one area for improvement, it would be the breakfast experience. While the service was lovely, the à la carte breakfast dishes didn’t quite meet our expectations, especially considering the overall standard of the hotel. Over the course of three breakfasts, unfortunately, none of the dishes stood out. Additionally, the selection of cold items was limited - the salads and other options felt underwhelming. We believe that with a few adjustments, the breakfast could match the high level set by the rest of the hotel. Overall, our stay was delightful, and we would gladly return!
