Down a quiet cul-de-sac off St James’s Street, Althoff St. James’s Hotel & Club has the proportions and discretion of a private Mayfair townhouse. Rooms and suites combine tailored fabrics, dark timber and marble bathrooms, with selected categories adding balconies above the surrounding rooftops. Restaurant Francatelli serves modern British cooking in an intimate dining room, while Seven Park Place Bar & Lounge provides a club-like setting for drinks and afternoon tea. Green Park, Jermyn Street and the galleries of St James’s are reached within minutes from the hotel’s red-brick façade and wrought-iron entrance.
