The Stafford London

The Kempinski hotel brand is synonymous with luxury, and the jewel in the company's crown is perhaps The Stafford London by Kempinski, located in the vibrant heart of the city at 16-18 St. James's Place. From the moment you're greeted by a courteous, impeccably uniformed doorman, you'll appreciate the balanced Kempinski blend of gracious, old school hospitality and modern luxury. Beauty and History The Stafford London by Kempinski attracts both business and leisure travelers, with free WiFi, a 24-hour business center, and even a few freebies in each hotel room's minibar. The hotel's building is a beautiful example of Edwardian architecture - you'll be amazed that such a historic place houses thoroughly modern amenities. And speaking of modernity, a 24-hour fitness center and the hotel's excellent restaurant, helmed by Carlos Martinez, a chef trained at numerous Michelin-starred restaurants, will appeal to those in London for either business or pleasure. The Palace District If you're more interested in checking out the sites than checking your email, the location of the hotel is ideal. It's a short walk to St. James Palace as well as its more famous counterpart, Buckingham Palace. Trafalgar Square and Big Ben are also within walking distance. An when the sun goes down, ritzy Knightsbridge is just around the corner, or if you're feeling more adventurous, the nightlife of Soho is a mere cab ride away.
