I've just returned from a lovely 7 night stay at Dukes and would definitely recommend the property. The service was universally excellent - reception, bellman, housekeeping, waitstaff, and barman were all friendly and helpful. The rooms have an understated, classic English style and there's good WifFi service that's included in the room price throughout the property. The location is perfect... More

We received a very warm welcome as a family of 4 with two young children and even upgraded to a stunning suite on the top floor so that the children would be more comfortable. Rooms were large and charmingly decorated in English style as were the bathrooms, there were even small age appropriate gifts for each child. Location is perfect... More

I love this hotel! It is a legend. I love the elegant decor, the hidden location and especially the famous martinis! The only problems I had were: 1. When I arrived I went to use the spa but there was no staff in sight. I went into the steam room and it was turned off so I had to go... More

Not the cheapest room I've ever stayed in, but it was new years eve and a late booking! What a hotel! Like stepping back in time, service at a standard hardly seen now days. Loved the period lift with velvet seating! Room superb, staff delightful, food excellent, champagne better, even good coffee in silver coffee pot at breakfast. This is... More

Wonderful stay at Dukes again. Quintessentially English in every respect. Attentive and personable staff - luxury rooms and superb location. We walked to the Mall to view fireworks through the trees and walked in the park to shake off the hangover. Legendary bar and famous Martinis. It is getting pricey especially to eat - we preferred the (cheaper) room service... More

Top location, walk to everything. Quiet, tucked away boutique hotel, but with all the privacy you could want. Rooms? Impeccable, with character. No soulless boxes here. Staff is extremely helpful, and I will still here again. In fact I have, 3 times!! More

Dukes is one of my favourite hotels in London and I have stayed there on several occasions during the last 10 years. Members of staff are always friendly and helpful and the rooms are charming. No two rooms are exactly the same. The location in St James's is very convenient. Until this most recent visit I have never been disappointed.... More

First time at the Dukes but I don't think it will be the last. The staff and service were wonderfully understated and there is an air of luxurious relaxation emanating from the place. Regretfully we did not get the chance to sample the dining room or cocktail bar on a flying overnight visit but hope to do so on a... More
