This deluxe 4-star hotel is on the brink of a 5-star rating, and its owners focus constantly on high-quality service to satisfy an international clientele and bring you the very best you can expect from a 4-star stopover. You'll pay slightly more than for another 4-star hotel, but with an unbeatable location like this, the fantastic facilities on offer and the exquisite attention to top-end service, it's worth a little extra.

Food & Drink

There are three superb dining options at the Crowne Plaza London St James. Visitors to the London hotel can choose between Bistro 51, the Quilon Restaurant and Bar and Bank Westminster and Zander Bar. The hotel also boasts a further bar, The Hampton, in which guests can relax and sample the very latest in fashionable beverages.



Bistro 51 fuses the very best of British and French cuisine and is the ideal place to escape the teeming City. The Quilon Restaurant and Bar is an ultra sleek, renowned yet reasonably priced Indian restaurant serving southern coastal cuisine with a fresh, light feel, from seafood specialties to spicy marinated lamb, and was awarded an AA Rosette Award in 2007. Bank Westminster and Zander Bar is an energetic, youthful bistro providing innovative international food in a stunning setting overlooking the tranquil courtyard garden. The Zander Bar has resident DJs playing sets Wednesday to Saturday until 1am and an extensive cocktail list to help you unwind after a busy day in the city.

In the summer months, the hotel's award-winning Courtyard at 51 plays host to a contemporary barbecue overflowing with succulent grills from diverse cuisines, or for something a little more tranquil, sit down in the shadow of the ornate cherub fountain to enjoy a classic afternoon tea.
