Since January 7, 2019, the hotel’s ethos of “modern luxury” has taken a distinct literal turn as exciting room redesigns are scheduled to be completed by the end of the year. Under the bold vision of luxury hotel interior designer, Pierre-Yves Rochon, the new guest room designs will seek to capture the flawless blend of traditional French and British elegance with tasteful modern notes.

Another new feature to look out for with a stay at the Sofitel London St James is a visit to Wild Honey St James, which only recently opened its doors to the public in late May. The original restaurant, the brainchild of esteemed chef and restauranteur Anthony Demetre, enjoyed over a decade of success on the Mayfair scene. Having made the decisive move over to Pall Mall, Wild Honey St James continuous to amaze guests with an exquisite menu interlacing French techniques with delicious British seasonal produce. The Classic Bouillabaisse Marseille, intended for two, is one of the many dishes in which one can taste how Demetres cuisine reaches harmony between British and French influences.
