Sofitel London St James: experience Franco-British elegance in the heart of London
An ideal location, colourful rooms, top-notch gourmet cuisine... The Sofitel London St James is a popular destination in the heart of the British capital.
Nestled in the heart of London , Sofitel London St James embodies a refined fusion of contemporary French chic and historic British charm.
From floor to ceiling color
Housed in a Grade II listed building, Sofitel London St James has been reimagined by renowned designer Pierre-Yves Rochon . Its 183 bold and vibrant rooms and suites are a harmonious blend of modern comfort and classic sophistication, reflecting the timeless elegance of British neoclassical architecture. Four colour themes are available: red, blue, purple and green – representing Wales, England, Scotland and Ireland respectively – as well as touches of tartan and quirky pop art, reflecting British humour.
A taste journey with Franco-British influences
Gastronomy is at the heart of the Sofitel London St James experience. The Michelin-starred Wild Honey St James restaurant takes the codes of the Parisian brasserie and the excellence of French cuisine . It offers a modern offering that celebrates the best seasonal ingredients. Under the direction of Chef Anthony Demetre, the menu changes daily, with dishes such as Orkney scallops with sweet vermouth and XO sauce, or Loire Valley rabbit with autumn vegetables. Those with a sweet tooth will be seduced by the revisited apple tarte tatin, served with Normandy crème fraîche espuma.
For a more casual dining experience, the Bistrot at Wild Honey , nicknamed the "little sister" of Wild Honey St James, is inspired by the European bistronomy movement . The Chef offers an accessible and seasonal menu, always imbued with a strong French influence. A glass of wine accompanied by charcuterie after work, a convivial seasonal lunch… The bistrot evokes a "home-away-from-home" feel , with its warm atmosphere, red leather banquettes and zinc counter.
A tea time to live the English way
A must-see when visiting London , the tea time experience is not to be missed. Head to the Rose Lounge, which immerses itself in its cozy and flowery atmosphere, in order to discover the traditional ballet around tea, its usual finger sandwiches and its delicate pastries. On a tiered display, it is difficult to start tasting it as it is so beautiful and refined... but the greed can no longer hold back, we try it with joy and delight!
Well-being at the rendezvous
Wellness is also in the spotlight at the Sofitel London St James . The hotel’s spa, located in one of the vaults of the former Cox & Kings bank, retains its original ceiling, for a most magnificent effect. Many exclusive treatments from skincare pioneer Su-Man — favored by Hollywood stars such as Anne Hathaway and Juliette Binoche — can be found in this haven sheltered from the hustle and bustle of London. Among the treatments offered, the HydraFacial offers hydration and revitalization, to rid your skin of impurities due to pollution. The spa also has a Turkish hammam and a jacuzzi, to grant yourself an unforgettable moment of relaxation alongside your stay. Incomparable.
