We had a lovely evening after work catching up with friends at The Stafford London. Our host, Maria, was wonderful and took the time to beautifully explain the tea selection. The atmosphere was warm and relaxing, making it the perfect escape from the busy London crowds. We would definitely recommend Michael Caines at The Stafford for a lovely evening in a peaceful and elegant setting. Thank you, Maria, for making our evening even more wonderful!

Maria was super lovely and recommended the most delicious food and honestly the best tea i’ve ever had (white apricot). Definitely need to go back in the autumn.

The Stafford London is an incredible hotel. We felt right at home. It also enjoys a prime location close to museums, parks and leisure areas, meaning you do not need to use public transport and can simply enjoy wandering the streets of London. It is elegant, discreet and peaceful, situated on a quiet street, with a side entrance that shields you from the noise of busier streets. What struck me most was the scent that envelops you and stays with you; it’s fascinating. The hotel is impeccably clean, and the Mews Master Suite is an experience in its own right. Best of all — and this is unrivalled — are the beds, which are supremely comfortable and exquisite. The hotel staff deserve a special mention. They are wonderful, attentive, friendly and very polite. We have very fond memories of Juan and Estefanía from the American Bar; Juan, in particular, was very kind to us. Similarly, the breakfast staff were extremely attentive to us, and all of them were constantly on hand to help us with whatever we needed. Without a doubt, the best choice for a stay in London.

The Stafford London was the perfect setting for a very special London visit, and we thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our stay. Our Master Suite was absolutely elegant, spacious and incredibly comfortable providing a wonderfully peaceful retreat in the heart of London. Dinner at Michael Caines Restaurant was an unforgettable experience. The food was beautifully presented and full of creativity, with every course demonstrating wonderful attention to detail, balance and imagination. The breakfast was excellent, with a beautifully presented menu and a lovely choice of dishes, all prepared to a very high standard. Everything felt fresh, thoughtful and delicious.

It's all about the staff at The Stafford! My favorite hotel in London and probably in the world! If you can't stay there stop by the bar...not to be missed. Look it up when you're there.

My cousin and I had the most fabulous trip! The Stafford London was the most perfect, wonderful hotel, and we could not be any happier!
The staff was amazing, and yes, please let Alan and Nick know how much they helped us, as this was my very first trip to London!
We so appreciated the perks, and enjoyed the wine in our room!
