The Stafford London, by Kempinski

The Stafford is a beautiful, elegant and understated hotel located within walking distance of everything- Green Park, Buckingham Palace, Covent Garden, West End, Westminster Abbey and multiple museums. We did not even use the Tube to get anywhere. Hidden on a side street, it is exceptionally quiet despite being in the middle of everything. The staff is polite, friendly and helpful. Rooms and common areas are impeccable.

Our stay at The Stafford London was great. Our room was fabulous and as advertised. The staff was very very friendly and always seeking to help. The restaurant service and food were superb. American bar was fun! The concierge team was very helpful, especially Robert. I can not say enough about how The Stafford made out trip very successful.

I visited the Stafford hotel in London for about a week with my 14-year-old son in June 2026. By far and away, this is the best five star hotel in which I’ve stayed. The staff is intelligent, elegant and dedicated to making sure their guests are happy. The accommodations are outstanding. The bed linens were like silk and the towels were always so fluffy and soft. The food is divine. Room service all the restaurants just heavenly. The location cannot be beat. And getting out and about from the hotel is super easy, especially with the assistance of their staff —who are always at the ready. I also recommend asking staff for assistance in activities to do around and beyond London and restaurants to try. They are extremely knowledgeable. Akshar and Katherine and Nick helped us navigate around with ticketing and timing throughout our stay. If you care about cleanliness, luxury comfort, amazing food, and smart customer service — this is the place to stay.
