Always a home away from home. Amazing food by the culinary team and a shout out to Chef Navin Kishore who made sure that a special meal was arranged after a very long day.

We stayed for one night over the bank holiday weekend and it has now become our favourite hotel in London, surpassing number 41. We arrived early and were able to get an early check in and a generous upgrade go a junior suite kindly granted by Prativa- thank you. The room was fabulous. We have stayed in many five star hotel across the world and our experience at St James Court rates up there with the very best like four seasons and fairmont. Everything was spot on from breakfast to extra touches like cakes left in our room for our family celebration, warm smiles on the door and helpful recommendations by the concierge Jean in advance. Superbly located for the palace and easy tube access too. Very many thanks to all.

Another fabulous stay at this hotel. Visiting for my birthday celebration, our room was ready early and our luggage taken to the room while we dined at one of the 3 restaurants in the hotel. A large light and airy room and bathroom, it was one of our favourite rooms, although all are of a high standard and nothing is too much trouble. Renovations are still continuing but didn’t impact on our stay with disruption kept to a minimum. Breakfast is very good although some of the tables are extremely close, making it a little difficult to manoeuvre from the buffet area to your table. Having to other diners to move to get back to the table isn’t ideal. That being said the breakfast selection is delicious with buffet and freshly cooked selection. A few minutes from St James’s Park underground , Victoria station, shopping and restaurants, this is always our first choice when staying in London. Thank you to all staff who always make our stay extra special.

My fourth stay here and i loved it as much as every previous visit. Super location..a stones throw feom St. JAMES park, Buckingham palace amd lots of restaurants shops and transport. Great architectural atmosphere of the hotel especially its courtyard! Excellent Service staff at the reception and at breakfast.. really made us feel special. Faraz and Viren at the front desk (and their colleagues were amazing). Nicolae at the hotel entrance was incredibly warm and efficiently helped us with our luggage with a smile. (As did all the other people who greeted us) Strongly recommend this to all who want to experience the hospitality of Taj
