We loved this hotel. And that says a lot because we are very picky and high maintenance. I originally wanted to stay at the Four Seasons and I’m so glad we decided on this boutique 5 star hotel. The staff was was increasingly service oriented. They reached out in advance and really dotted on us the entire trip. The location was perfect. Close to everything. We walked to a lot of places. Loved loved loved it. Specifically, Peter at the concierge was very helpful. All the staff was delightful

Today I explored this beautiful hotel and it's surroundings, it has a restaurant which is beautiful and has a bar inside it. The American Bar, though, was not so glamourous. It was almost like a university's bar, with caps and toy aeroplanes hanging from the ceiling. The outside section although, was very pretty, and is nice to drink in on a sunny day.

Great outdoor venue. Service rather slow for a 5 star hotel. Also hugely disappointing that they refuse to take reservations for tables for dinner!! Not what you expect from a good 5 star property.

Such a treat, we went for drinks at The American Bar and was great Ed with friendly staff on arrival. Told to sit wherever we like and asked if we'd like to see teumenubor knew what we wanted. Great service and table nibbles of olives and crisps replenished frequently. It is price mind, but worth it for the service and a treat. Very nice!

Had a delicious afternoon tea to celebrate my husbands birthday. On arrival I mentioned to the waiter that it was a special birthday, and asked if they could make a gesture for the occasion. The afternoon tea plus a brownie with a candle and a 'happy birthday' written on the plate arrived to our table - which was all very nice. However I surprised to be then charged £12 for the pleasure of the brownie on top of the cost for the afternoon tea, the waiter did not indicate there would be cost.

Date of visit: 4.30pm Saturday 4 November

Another wonderful stay at our home away from home in London. Again Frank, Sarah , Ned and all the team provided us with a stay scattered with those small pleasures.. after a flight from USA and Oz. The dinner at the the Game Bird (try the fat pidgeon), breakfast with that lovely blood sausage, and the bath, that scrummy bed cushion..... oh how lovely. Each morning Green Park, gave access to my wonderful walk... past Buck palace, and over to Hyde Park to build that appetite. Stuart, the GM, has pulled together a great team to serve us at this most perfecty located Hotel. I could have just stayed in! See you again soon guys. K and D

Nice boutique hotel. Attended a private dinner function here and the food, quality of food, service and hospitality was just wonderful. Did not stay at the hotel, however if they give the same level of hospitality and service, I am sure it would be all pleasant.

Stayed here based on a friend's recommendation. It is the best location in the heart of London - close to everything. Staff is very attentive. A bit hard to find the first time. Intimate, and comfortable.

Early dinner at the Game Bird was excellent. Great, attentive service and really well executed food. I had a celeriac salad which was earthy- exactly what I would have hoped for. A chicken kiev came with its own apron as they had a history of ruining shirts when opened up. Very soft chicken, lovely herby butter, perfect mash. All followed by a towering soufflé. Expensive but utterly worth it.

The Gamebird restaurant: all round good British scoff, however the signature dish - Gamebird, at £38 for 4 (admittedly lovely) chunks of bird, felt excessive- by about £12. - or a starter dish. Speaking of which, when I spied scallops at £18 - I asked a waitresses how many were to be served up. She thought it was five: in fact it is three; the other two mystery chunks, were, I think, either onion or potato - I can't recall. Either way, at £6 per lump of protein, that represents bona-fide p*ss-poor value, even by St James's elevated standards. The managers, of whom there are many, have paid insufficient attention to good staff training.

The American Bar, afterwards: a very agreeable little snug in St James's with courtyard seating too.

If anyone is looking for a great deal on hotels you can check it out on HotelRaven. com Booked a room on there and they had the cheapest rates around...

The American bar looks great but we sat in the dining room for lunch, which was lovely. We hadn't expected the food to be too incredible but it was actually really nicely done and well priced. Staff were friendly too; all in all we had a good time although it wouldn't be my top pick for London.

Lovely place. Very exquisite and fancy hotel. Went because of the bar. They have quite the collection of memorabilia. Definitely worth a stop if you like that sort of thing.

Nice outside seating area and the inside is very homely. Lager is only served in bottles, which was a slight annoyance but very nice complementary snacks are provided, which were a very nice touch. I would definitely return.

Expensive, but most good things in life are. But very comfortable, quiet, and the staff are very attentive to your needs. I will say though that the breakfast quality has gone down a bit over the past 2 years. But it's still good. Also, I don't need 5 people to open doors for me, but I guess that's how it is. Giving it 5 stars nonetheless because it's still quite good.

Best hotel value for a 5 star. We wanted to go to a local art show, they went in the back and pulled the tickets and pulled a car around. We walked past a line of 100 people and right into the show. Great little breakfast and the perfect hotel bar, relaxing but lively at the same time (hard to do)

Read very good things about this hotel and was familiar with the area. However, the room was extremely small and better suited for 1 person even though we booked what we thought was a Queen room for 2 people. Overall feeling of the hotel was that it is a bit snooty. The American Bar, however, was great.

Entrepreneurs who want to share their space with preppy bourgeois or banker suited types will enjoy this classy hotel, bar and tea salons. Excellent service, 5 star prices, but you can entertain serious meetings or work on your next billion dollar startup.
