First the communication was very good (mostly by email which makes it very effective) and proactive from the guest team. Then I asked special services which were quickly and efficiently fulfilled. I also asked to privatise the bar for after dinner and Enzo and his team were very flexible. Overall quality of service was really good.

The staff are great, very polite and attentive. Francesco, our events coordinator was lovely. He had great attention to detail and helped with a lot of things. We have also visited the Balcon restaurant on other occasions which serves good food. Overall, we were very pleased with our wedding and would recommend this venue. We stayed at the Peggy Ashcroft suite, which is a Prestige level suite. The suite is large and we loved our stay. The prices we felt were fair for the area and the service.

Melodye J
By far the best hotel service I’ve ever received. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the most professional staff that never seemed to have a bad day. The staff at Sofitel London St. James were attentive from the moment Emily at the front desk greeted us to the warm welcome from the sales managers Ash and Agnes to Jeff the wonderful bellman. The service at the Sofitel London St. James is what made me not want to leave. This hotel far exceeded my expectations.
Lale A

A great hotel in London with amazing service. This is what a 5 star hotel should be about. Definitely recommend!
Kirsty M
Stunning hotel, perfect location!
Emir B
Renovated, newly designed rooms & best location! As soon as you step in, you can feel the quality of service and sincere welcome. Staff make sure your requests are met timely. Sofitel Spa is also one of the best in London, the high ceilings with daylight at this beautiful architecture - previously a bank makes a big difference. When it comes to the location you have the St.James park on one side towards Trafalgar square and Piccadilly circus on the other.
Matt T
Favorite hotel in London. Location is excellent, the rooms are fabulously appointed and the staff are fantastic. We felt so well cared for. Beautiful grand building but the hotel is small enough to still deliver that personal touch.
Miriam W
Wonderful attention to detail from start to finish...loved the cocktails.
Zena A
We held our intimate wedding dinner reception at the Sofitel St James and it exceeded our expectations. The staff were very helpful and attentive, providing excellent service. Anissa, our wedding planner, was brilliant at dealing with all the fine details and provided a wonderful atmosphere. Our guests had a great time, I would highly recommend.

Sephora was phenomenal at organizing and helping facilitate our wedding.We felt entirely confident in her abilities and she delivered over and above her duties to make our dreams a reality. She ensured contact and access was maintained for our suppliers and was a joy to work with. Sephora introduced us to Agnes to handle our room bookings and we got the very best price and service on arrival, whatever it was, we were covered and we are forever grateful. On the wedding day itself, the team we impeccable, highly professional and the chef managed to provide a fantastic 3 course menu, she created amazing Matcha Green Tea Entremets for dessert. Our guests are still talking about how well everything worked out, the waiting team were sociable yet professional and I still feel joy in my heart for the magic they helped create. Thank you very much Sofitel!

Cedric and I want to thank Anissa and the venue for their hard work! They definitely made our day very special and exactly the way we wanted. Our vision was achieved. Thank you!! We will certainly be back!
Sarah S
We have stayed at Sofitel St James before and we loved every moment and after consideration of this and other quality hotels in London decided on Sofitel St James to host our wedding. From the moment we were in contact with Francesco (Wedding Co-Ordintaor) everything went smoothly and to plan. The customer is at the heart of the Sofitel experience and from day one we were made to feel like VIPs. Nothing is too much trouble and Francesco is the very epitome of professionalism. The whole team made it an extremely special time for us from the menu tasting and fine detail to the upgraded suite on the day with complimentary delicious champagne and cake! It was the most magical evening. We knew we could totally rely on Sofitel to make it amazing. Special thanks to Vincent and his team (Head Chef) for the stunning food, the best wedding planner in the business - Francesco and GM Nicolas who made special allowances for our 'extended' family. All our guests had a wonderful evening and were very complimentary of the staff, venue and food. Now before this turns into a protracted Oscar style speech, a final little word about the general accommodation. Spotlessly clean, the most comfy bed I have ever slept in and a breakfast you can re-visit over and over. Can't praise the experience enough. My husband and I had the best day ever and we thank you so much. Until we meet again .
Zef L
Excellent venue and location.
James O
Wonderfully attentive staff, nothing too much trouble at all. From housekeeping, to concierge to event staff. Highly recommended.
