Rough Guide "Provides high-class boutique style in the main building, and even more indulgence in the Carriage House, a row of beautifully converted eighteenth-century stables."
Michelin Guide "The bedrooms of this 'country house in the city' are divided between the main house, converted 18C stables and more modern mews."
Fodor's "This is a rare find: a posh hotel that's equal parts elegance and friendliness, and it's in one of the few peaceful spots in the area, down a small lane behind Piccadilly." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This long-established town house hotel near Green Park has won a slew of awards and spends more than £1 million a year keeping up its refined period-style interior."
Gayot "Having undergone a £6 million renovation, this hotel's first-floor reception, lounges, guest rooms and restaurant emerged looking sleeker and sexier than ever."
BlackBook "The Stafford Hotel epitomizes all that is Mayfair. Ornamented with finery, class and sumptuous elegance, and only a short walk away from Buckingham Palace, Piccadilly and Soho."
Zagat "This sophisticated St. James’s luxury hotel offers traditionally decorated rooms and suites in the main house."
