St James's Hotel & Club
Style Rejuvenated gentleman’s club
Setting Moments from Mayfair
In the parkside heart of London’s clubland (of the cognac-sipping, rather than dance variety), the red and white Victorian façade of St James’s Hotel & Club hides the grown-up glamour within. Newly revamped and restored, the decor captures that quintessential Mayfair elegance and then some, with Murano chandeliers, a priceless collection of portraiture and the most snooze-worthy beds you’ll ever sleep in.

Hotel restaurant
St James’s Michelin-starred restaurant, Seven Park Place, spreads itself over a few small and simple rooms around the bar area, leant a fresh feel by the lemon-yellow banquettes and black and cream slipper chairs. In addition to the jus and foams of the dinner selection, there’s an all-day bar menu of more low-key gastro-pub dishes in William's Bar & Bistro.
- Dress code Modern Mayfair man, poised Piccadilly princess.

Our favourite rooms
The huge sixth-floor Terrace Suite is the ultimate London crashpad: vast, with an open fireplace and a large roof terrace overlooking the rooftops of St James. Even more decadence-drippingly exclusive, the St James and Westminster Suites (which can combine to create the Penthouse) are accessed via their own private lift. More modest – but still featuring the same sumptuous silk wallpapers, polished stone bathrooms and hi-tech gadgetry – are the Executive Rooms – ask for one with a Jacuzzi or a balcony.
Packing tips
Don’t forget your iPod for the in-room docking station. Mr Smith should definitely bring an extra bag (or money to buy one) – the gentlemen’s tailoring options in Mayfair are unparalleled in London.
Also
Don’t miss the hotel’s cocktail hour, not just for the delicious concoctions on offer in the bar, but also for the ever-changing popcorn flavour of the day.
