In a country that values understatement, St. James' Court is an English classic typifying the concealed charm of one of Britain's finest hotels. The custom of St. James’ Court, A Taj Hotel is the distinctive choice for more than service with a smile. With a distinguished pedigree shaped over more than a century, this discreet Victorian masterpiece with its famous Shakespearean Courtyard is perfectly placed between Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament in a historic enclave marking the centre of power. Crisp and elegant, with an easy charm that’s reserved, yet attentive, we strive to make each visit more pleasurable and memorable. Exceeding the expectations of today’s discerning traveller, St. James' Court is a slice of the past served up on a contemporary platter.

Hospitality during the pandemic is a huge challenge with most Hotels opting not to remain open for business. St. James' Court still welcomes guests and does the best it can do in the circumstances. Great rooms, great property, a good level of cleanliness, really comfortable rooms and dedicated staff. I didn't try the FnB but have confidence it would have been great.

This hotel has marvelously thoughtful staff that make the experiences here exceptional. All of the staff were immensely helpful and friendly in every conceivable way from the first moment I arrived until the day I left. I was so pleased with my stay, which occurred during the tier 4 period in London, that I purchased a room for a family member and his guest to celebrate New Year's Eve there. And the staff went above-and-beyond for them as well. I could continue praising the staff and hotel all day. I will stay there whenever I can. I suggest you do the same.

I know the Taj chain from India, where its flagship property in Bombay is a veritable institution in its own right. The Taj’s London property, while not on the same scale and without the same range of facilities as the mother ship, is nonetheless a good base for a comfortable stay in the heart of the city. I stayed there over a long weekend in August, just after the first UK lockdown and the hotel was careful to observe all sanitary protocols. My room was spacious and comfortable, as was my bathroom. The gym was well equipped, though sadly the spa was off limits due to the virus. The service at breakfast was polite and well intentioned, though harried, chaotic and shambolic the first couple of days. It got much better after I pointed this out to a restaurant manager who took great pains to ensure excellent service from then on. The hotel is well located, just a few minutes from Buckingham Palace and Hyde Park, a short stroll away from Mayfair, St. James and Knightsbridge. …

Because of lockdown the hotel was only running at a basic level. However the staff were so very obliging and helpful. The room was on a corner overlooking the courtyard. I would imagine in the summer this must be a wonderful place to sit and drink. The hotel is an unusual design, spread across a number of buildings. Unique as with all the Taj hotels. Would recommend.

The hotel management are extremely accommodating. Ask for Naveen or Sunaina. They attended to all our special requests during our last trip without hesitation.

Hi ther was no valet parking attendant available when I arrived at the hotel and I decided to park my car in a localcarpark for the duration of my stay. I would be confident the hotel does valet parking though. Good luck driving in this part of London can be challenging and public transport is very close to the hotel.
