The Stafford London

Seasoned traveler here and nothing compares with the luxurious accommodations that come with the warm feel of being home that The Stafford has to offer. The service is welcoming and attentive, the food absolutely glorious and the cocktails are beautiful. We had Sunday Roast with the new chef Michael Caines at the helm and it is definitely an experience not to be missed! Breakfasts always exquisite and fresh. Everything is on point. Second time staying here and it has only gotten better (which we thought impossible since they were fantastic last year!) and we will always choose this home away from home whenever we are in London!

The hospitality was above and beyond!! Quaint, charming, historic London (in the best location) without it feeling too pretentious. Will definitely be going back.

We have stayed and dined at The Stafford many times. Once we step inside the small front door, it immediately becomes our home away from home. Whatever is happening in the outside world we are transported to a more genteel age when service is everything and discretion paramount. Devoid of razzmatazz and gimmicks, The Stafford continues to offer refined luxury in a quiet location just a few strides from Green Park and Buckingham Palace. Random acts of kindness abound, everything is done with a calm confidence. To add to this, the dining experience is always amazing, complemented by one of the best wine lists in London. The Stafford knows it has something special and doesn't need to shout about it.

Great location. The staff at the Stafford is amazing. We have stayed at the hotel twice and will definitely chose the Stafford on our next trip to London.

From the moment my teenage daughter and I arrived at The Stafford London for our mother/daughter trip, we felt completely taken care of. After an overnight flight, we reached the hotel around 10:30 a.m. — well before check-in — and were warmly welcomed. They offered us a room to change and freshen up, a powder room to brush our teeth, held our bags, and even served us tea before we headed out to explore. By 1:30 p.m. our room was ready, though we were happily caught up in sightseeing and shopping. The accommodations were exquisite. Our room had a cozy sitting area with a faux fireplace, and I loved the daily newspaper service — such a treat for someone who’s worked in publishing. The in-room coffee maker was perfect for my early-morning caffeine fix, and the bed was nothing short of dreamy. My daughter and I agreed it was the best night’s sleep we’ve ever had; she even insisted I call to find out who makes their bedding! The thoughtful turndown service placed our slippers on little white mats beside the bed. Dining was equally memorable — The Game Bird restaurant served the largest espresso martini I’ve ever seen, in the longest-stemmed glass, and the highlight of my entire trip’s desserts: a gluten-free soufflé with a warm pour-over. Simply divine. The location is unbeatable — tucked away on charming St. James yet within walking distance of Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, and fantastic shopping. This is exactly what five-star service should be, and I cannot wait to return. How have more people not heard of this gem?!
