About the Stafford London

Located in the heart of central London in historic St James's, this iconic London hotel combines contemporary elegance and 5* luxury with classic English heritage stretching back to the 18th century.

The Stafford London is independently owned and managed, and offers three contrasting styles of rooms and suites. The Main House, a former private residence, comprises 67 rooms and suites which combine Victorian grandeur with modern comfort. In contrast the 26 Mews Suites and Penthouse offer contemporary interiors within the tranquil courtyard of the Main House, while the adjacent Carriage House contains 12 traditional rooms and suites in the former 18th-century royal stables.

The Lyttelton Restaurant and private dining rooms provide elegant cuisine and fine wines, and menus from recently-appointed executive chef Carlos Martinez are classic and modern with a Mediterranean flavour. The renowned American Bar with its legendary cocktails and unique outdoor courtyard, Blue Ball Yard, is one of London's most notable cocktail establishments. Underneath the courtyard, the 380-year-old vaulted wine cellar is an ideal central London location for events and celebrations.
