Set within three linked townhouses in well-heeled St. James's, The Stafford Hotel exudes an air of bygone gentility. Crystal chandeliers and elegant period décor add to the intimacy of the refined restaurant, which has a subdued ambience ideal for entertaining clients. Food is an understated blend of French and modern British cooking, while the 350-year-old cellars offer a selection of rare and vintage wines. Traditional tea is served every afternoon in the lounge.
