"Relaunched in a historic building as a new boutique hotel in summer 2017, the Trafalgar St. James is (as the Brits say) bang in the middle of London, perched on Trafalgar Square. The central location overlooking Nelson’s Column and the National Gallery makes it a draw for sightseeing visitors, while the buzzy rooftop bar and underground lounge are popular meeting spots for locals. Sleep with Mick Jagger (in photo form, framed over the bed) in elegant modern guest rooms with buttery leather headboards that echo the swank booths downstairs in the Trafalgar Dining Rooms. The restaurant serves all day, from cold-pressed morning juices to a post-theatre pulled lamb burger. Make reservations for drinks and nibbles on the Rooftop, and enjoy the views of central London even during cooler months with blankets and outdoor heaters. The hotel taps into local tastemakers and influencers to curate tips and itineraries for guests."

Choose this hotel for location to all the action surrounding New Year Eve. Great location to pop in and out while nearly all of London is walkable from the front door of this hotel. While our room view was dismal (616) we hadn’t come here to look out it. Room was well appointed and most importantly quiet. Team members kept our room super tidy as the Front desk team and Front Door members greeted us like family every time we passed through the lobby. Having the ability to pop back into our room to take a breather was awesome. We enjoyed the included breakfast. They included a bottle of Champagne chilled in our room for a toast to the New Year. First class place for sure

One of the best hotels we ever stayed at! My husband and I visited London for the first time to celebrate 1 year wedding anniversary. The location is perfect! The service was friendly & superb. We had our luggage brought to room and while we waited for our room to be ready we had snack and drink at roof top bar - which was amazing 5/5! Our room was modern, clean, stylish, and safe. I loved the mirrors around and the mini fridge with complementary water and soda - which definitely came handy for us. Even though they were under construction while we visited and the view we got from our room was another building under construction - it didn’t take away from our 5 star experience. Staying at this hotel completed our wonderful experience in London. ❤️🇬🇧

This was our first trip to London. The first couple of days we booked the Trafalgar St. James. Originally was to stay at the Rosewood, but missed the opportunity for a double beds room. Luckily was able to find this and booked with Amex to get upgrade .. This hotel was perfect for what we needed. Although it is in a very busy and touristy area of London everything is walkable, staff is kind and accommodations clean and comfortable. If I came back to London, I would not hesitate to book again and would recommend to anyone who wanted to come visit.

The perfect location with the perfect staff. I never really get an idea from other reviewers regarding location. This is a short ride from Heathrow on the Elizabeth line to the Bakerloo and once out of the underground there it is. The staff is remarkable!!! You are welcomed and feel that way. Walk a few blocks there Big Ben, London eye, Westminster Abby. Walk around a mile and a half there is Buckingham Palace. Across the is Trafalgar Square in all its beauty. The roof top bar has the best views including London Eye, Big Ben and Trafalgar Square. Safe Travels.

We had such an amazing experience with this hotel, even before we arrived! I had contacted the concierge multiple times to plan things for our stay. The response was very prompt and courteous every time. The hotel itself is not very big, but it is modern, clean, and what sets this apart from other places is the staff. I have never felt like royalty before at a hotel. Every single staff member went out of their way. Anything we asked for, we received with a smile. Everyone was super friendly and so hard-working. We had breakfast at the hotel every morning. No matter how busy they were, the staff was super accommodating and friendly. My daughter has a gluten allergy, and I never had to worry about her getting sick. They knew exactly what she could and could not eat. Sajjad always greeted us with a smile, and was very helpful with directions etc. Our housekeeper Christina always did a great job. We happened to be there for New Year’s Eve. It was amazing to just walk steps out of the hotel and see fireworks. The location was top-notch for us. We were able to walk to Buckingham Palace, CoventGarden, the London Eye, Westminster Abbey, and two of the west end shows that we saw. I wish I had every staff member’s name because they truly all made our experience the best of the best! If you are looking for a great London hotel, this is the one!

Our family had the most wonderful stay at the Trafalgar St James Hotel. From check in to checkout, we were treated like royalty. The room was spacious, clean, and in perfect condition. The hotel, restaurants, lobby and amenities were perfect. We celebrated an anniversary while there and they surprised us with a chilled bottle of champagne and chocolates - a cherry on top of a great stay. We debated a lot about what area of London to stay with two young kids (first visit to the city) and I highly recommend this location for being a central option to everything. I can't recommend this hotel more! A few details: The hairdryer was likely the best I have ever used in a hotel (super powerful). Complimentary bottled water refilled as needed was wonderful. Nespresso coffee machines and cookies in room were such a treat. The included breakfast (Honors member) was expansive and so delicious - a great way to start each day!

I would like to thank Fred for helping me check in and providing me with an upgrade to make my 7 days stay a comfortable one! The entire team is so smiley and welcoming I feel so happy whenever I leave or return back to the hotel! The hotel’s location is superb, 10minutes walk to Big Ben, musical theatres, Chinatown and just 15-20mins walk to Oxford street! Can’t praise this hotel more, I’ll be back!

Such a great total package.||Amazing staff, great room, excellent rooftop breakfast service.||Stayed here for 5 days and had a most excellent time here. Service from the front desk staff as well as the rooftop breakfast and the rooftop bar and downstairs wine bar were great. ||Location is amazing - Trafalgar Square is right across the street, and there are plenty of shops and restaurants and pubs within a block or two. ||We totally 100% would stay here again.
