Hotel The Stafford London (London, United Kingdom)

With just enough pomp and ceremony to make every arrival feel like an event, but with a warm and friendly approach, the service at The Stafford is impeccable. Guests love the welcome they receive and the personal attention throughout.

If you want to live the London high life, you can’t do much better than this exclusive corner of Mayfair. With Bond Street shopping on the doorstep and royal palaces next door, you’ll be in seventh heaven.

As well as excellent dining options in The Lyttleton restaurant, visitors to The Stafford can also make the most of its high-class afternoon tea. It’s the ultimate London experience, and the perfect pick-me-up.

There’s no sweetening this one, the price for Mayfair luxury is seriously high. Most guests seem to think it’s worth the money, so for the London trip of a lifetime, it could be worth splashing out.

While The Stafford does have some very grand suites, its classic rooms are not as spacious, and some guests report that they feel a little cramped, particularly if you have lots of luggage in tow. For central London, the room size is not unusual.

Some guests have reported minor issues with water pressure and plumbing in their bathrooms. It’s an old, Edwardian building with a plumbing system to match; however, it mostly seems to function well.
