Not the vibe we were expecting. Noticed a passive aggressive undertone. Whispering among employees. Just not the character of a hotel thats promotes a certain stature.

Par Excellence

From the moment we stepped onto the property, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. The bellman welcomed us with a smile, swiftly handled our luggage, and offered a quick overview of the hotel amenities—a perfect first impression. The check-in process was seamless, and the front desk staff made us feel genuinely valued. Our room was spotless, stylish, and incredibly comfortable, with thoughtful touches that elevated the entire experience. Dining at the hotel was a true delight. Each meal was par excellence—beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The restaurant staff were attentive without being intrusive, and their recommendations were spot-on. Every staff member we encountered embodied the spirit of hospitality. The service, ambiance, and attention to detail throughout my stay were simply exceptional. If you're looking for a stay that defines luxury and comfort, this hotel delivers an experience par excellence in every way.

If you are planning a Christmas trip, I promise you, this is where you want to stay! There was even a little Christmas tree in our beautiful room. Staff are so helpful and friendly. This was our second visit to this property and there was a bottle of champagne in our room when we checked in. Lovely place to stay, best location in London

I highly recommend the Stafford!

A fantastic stay in every way. The staff were highly attentive and helpful, the rooms were comfortable and quiet, everything is kept immaculately clean, and the dining and afternoon tea were wonderful (and I loved the American Bar - world-class cocktails!). The location is just fantastic - short walks to Green Park and the tube (through the Queen's passage, a tunnel just outside the front door of the hotel that takes you into the park), Buckingham Palace, Westminster, and Piccadilly Circus. This is my go-to London hotel.
