The Stafford London

The Stafford is conveniently situated down St James’s Place and is discreetly located just a short distance from Green Park. Buckingham Palace, Piccadilly, Mayfair, Bond Street, and the West End are all within easy walking distance, but as soon as you enter the building, London seems a long way off. The private courtyard with cobbled stones only enhances the feeling that you've come upon something quite special.

The Stafford feels quintessentially British without ever being overly formal. Interiors blend traditional elegance with the warmth of a private residence, combining rich fabrics, antiques, artwork and beautifully considered details. There’s a real sense of history and character, yet the atmosphere remains intimate and wonderfully relaxed.

Rooms span three very different settings. The Main House brings classic British elegance, the Mews Suites feel more like a private residence, and the Carriage House offers a more contemporary choice. The larger suites work particularly well for longer stays, with connecting options available for families.

The American Bar at The Stafford features decades' worth of memorabilia and opens onto the cobbled courtyard, making it one of those charming London hotel bars that deserves to be seen as a destination in its own right.

Michael Caines, the hotel's Michelin-starred chef, offers modern European cuisine paired with seasonal British ingredients. Afternoon Tea is a long-standing favourite among visitors and Londoners alike. Beneath the hotel, the historic 380-year-old wine cellars provide one of its most fascinating hidden features.
