Just a one night stay but would rate the hotel highly. Great location a short walk from st James Park tube station. The room was to a high standard meaning a pleasant stay and good nights sleep. The resteraunt was very good albeit pricy. Only minor gripe would be that the staff were a touch too attentive at times. For example at dinner there was a bit too much interrupting with questions when my partner and I were mid conversation. It’s good that the staff are attentive but sometimes less can be a bit more. Overall would recommend for a london stay though.

Lovely hotel. Our room was rather warm and stuffy however. Windows don’t open. We didn’t get offered a room upgrade as part of being an Expedia Gold member.
