Conrad London St. James 

I stayed at the Conrad St. James in July 2026 on a family trip with myself, my husband, and our two-year-old that involved seeing all the major tourist attractions but at a much more relaxed pace. The location of the hotel was perfect for my family as many of our activities (Westminster Abbey, Kings Gallery, Buckingham Palace, Churchill War Rooms) were a short walk away from the hotel, which allowed us to come back frequently to the hotel and relax with our toddler. Everywhere else we wanted to go was a short tube or bus ride away. We loved spending our downtime at the hotel, especially in the executive lounge where we enjoyed the daily afternoon tea. We also loved breakfast every morning and it was nice to be able to have a healthy start to our day. We appreciated that the hotel was located in an area that didn't feel like a tourist district, despite being so conveniently located to major tourist attractions. There were several places for quick food takeaway just around the corner, which we needed for our toddler who didn't have the patience for daily sit down restaurant meals. These included Farmer J, Coyo Taco, and, of course, Pret a Manger. The room was very clean and comfortable. We were in a deluxe room and it was perfectly fine for our family of three but I think a standard room would be tight with the crib. The bathroom was beautiful and seemed to have been recently renovated. The room itself was very quiet, probably owing to it facing the internal airshaft/courtyard. The following didn't detract from my overall enjoyment, but I will note a few minor negatives. The internal airshaft really needs to be cleaned, as does the skylight over the executive lounge. The bed was rather firm, which I didn't mind but my husband found too firm. Like most hotels, the pillows weren't dense enough to support my head while sleeping. The hairdryer in my room had a broken diffuser that wouldn't stay attached--I should have called down to request a replacement, but I was in a hurry and didn't have time to wait for a replacement. Overall, I'd highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in London.
