I bought an afternoon tea for my boyfriend to celebrate our engagement. We had one normal afternoon tea and one martini tea. It was very cosy in the drawing room and very tasty food. I would definitely recommend. Also the service was amazing, very kind and gave us some little cakes to celebrate our engagement.

Amazing little Oasis in St James place. Famous Gin Martini Cocktail bar The 4th floor Suite (Duke of Albany) is so peaceful and quiet. Service excellent. Christmas food menu amazing. Have a relaxing snack, meal or coffee in the conservatory...or full blow out in the restaurant. Wow!

Stopped here to rest my feet and enjoy a drink in the iconic bar. Terrific location very centrally located. I didn't know it was also a small hotel when I stopped for a drink, so I can't speak of the rooms however the feel of the entire establishment was outstanding.

Fantastic cocktails. Obviously order the Vesper. But the Espresso Martini was so good and not like any other I've ever had. Worth the stop in London.
