Sofitel London St James is an upscale property on Waterloo Place, in the affluent St James’s neighborhood. While the property is thoroughly modern, it does embrace some historical elements, including the Coco Chanel-inspired bar and Neoclassical architecture. The 183 refined and spacious rooms are outfitted with elegant decor and include high-end amenities and stylish bathrooms. The hotel has three dining options, each with its own personality. French pastries and gentle harp music characterize The Rose Lounge, while St James Bar calls to mind Paris circa the 1920s, and The Balcon restaurant serves French cuisine in a grandiose setting. There’s a modern gym and spa, along with some fashionable meeting rooms. Those looking for lower rates and contemporary rooms should check out the classic Washington Mayfair Hotel.
