A quintessential English home in historic St. James’s, London. With its heritage style and warm hospitality, DUKES LONDON is an elegant hotel in the heart of Mayfair. Its Victorian exterior evokes a time when artists and writers rubbed shoulders with royalty in fashionable St. James’s, London. DUKES LONDON really is a country house in the middle of London. You will find elegant rooms and suites, where antique furnishings sit alongside the latest technology. For the ultimate in luxury, book the Duke of Clarence Suite for grand views over Green Park.

    A rare luxury
    As someone whose budget normally stretches to a Premier Inn, I decided to push the boat out for my wife’s 40th birthday weekend and see how the other half lives. From the first phone call when I booked, it’s just a completely different level of service. Polite, professional yet friendly seem to be the core values here. I emailed Ruel, the concierge, some ideas for a few little extras to make the experience even more special for my wife and the effort he made really made the difference. It was lovely to actually get to meet him while we were there so I could thank him personally. The room was very comfortable and spotless (although some TLC on the paintwork is required in a couple of spots). A nice bottle of Prosecco was on ice when we arrived and a lovely complementary birthday dessert had been provided which was a great touch. They’d even created a huge heart shape with rose petals on the bed. It all went down very well. The only reason this is a four star review and not a five star one is the breakfast service. The breakfast itself was very nice (full English, cereal, fruit, yogurt, tea, pastries etc) but unfortunately the breakfast service was just too disorganised, with a few uncleared tables around and the table we sat at had no cutlery/napkins etc on it. The two people on service didn’t seem to have total control of the situation and we eventually had to flag one of them down to place our order and to ask for cutlery. A couple more staff were eventually roped in to steady the ship and it transpired that there was meant to be a third staff member on that day who was absent. It’s also worth noting that we turned up towards the end of the service. However that was the only minor blot on an otherwise lovely stay and I’m glad I chose this hotel to spend this month’s mortgage payment on to mark this occasion. Thank you Dukes, for a rare but much appreciated experience.
    Dear Guest, I would like to thank you for taking the time to fill out our on-line questionnaire and share with us your experience about your recent stay. We are delighted to see that you had a pleasant stay with us. We try very hard to make this Hotel a great place to stay and positive feedback like this makes it all worthwhile. Your feedback will be internally shared with the team so they can appreciate the positive impact of their professional service. We are truly pleased that you shared your experience in Tripadvisor so the public can have a fair view of what they will encounter when visiting us. Thank you! It was an absolute pleasure having you with us and we look forward to welcome you back to our Hotel in the near future. Best regards, Clementina Scarpato, Guest Relations Manager

    Excellent location - truly 5 star service
    Five star service without pretension - we stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed their fantastic breakfast in the elegant GBR every morning. The staff, from the waitstaff and bellman, to the concierge and front desk staff, were true professionals and made us feel very welcome. We lived in London (Richmond) for three years and are familiar with the area - but staying in Mayfair, with St. James Park and Green Park just a few minutes walk away, and so many other great areas within walking distance as well, the location was such a plus. Will definitely stay again next time we visit.
    Dear TheImbre, Thank you for sharing your recent experience with me and my team, we could not ask for better feedback than to hear that you truly enjoyed your recent visit particularly the delicious Breakfast food and our amazing location. We always endeavour to do our best to create a home away from home experience to our guests. The team and I very much look forward to welcoming you back with us again in the future. Kind Regards, Paul Skinner General Manager

A brilliant old fashioned (in a good way) hotel with wonderful attention to detail! Dukes is tucked away in a quiet alley, a few minutes walk from St James’ Palace and (if you find the secret short cut) it’s also only a few minutes walk from Green Park Station. All the staff were friendly and helpful. I had a lovely, spacious room with a balcony and there were nice surprise touches like a bottle of prosecco and cakes that were left in my room. The martini afternoon tea was exceptional (I’ve tried many) as was their Vespa Martini in Duke’s Bar - although at over £28 per glass this was far too expensive. My meal in the restaurant was satisfactory. Overall, a lovely, reasonably priced five star hotel in a great location!

The staff were fabulous at every stage. Great focus on the guests and nothing was too much trouble. The hotel itself is super clean and ‘old school’ stylish. The room was really comfortable and with the hotel being just far enough from a main road it was surprisingly quiet. Zero complaints!

The service was excellent. They accommodated both our vegan and vegetarian palates. The sandwiches and desserts were delicious, the tea was tasty and plentiful. The setting in the drawing room was gorgeous. I highly recommend sitting in the sun room portion, where we had beautiful natural light beaming in and a gentle breeze from the patio. I would recommend Dukes for a lovely, relaxed afternoon tea.

Amazing stay at Dukes to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. The staff made her stay extra special and I cannot praise them enough. Nothing was too much trouble and the reception team were outstanding. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The hotel is situated in the heart of London and ideal for sightseeing. If you’re looking for a hotel with character and understated elegance, Dukes is ideal. Looking forward to returning one day.

Dukes is a nice old hotel in an exclusive area of London. It's not cheap to stay here and if I'm honest the room disappointed a little. The bathroom was tiny withan in-bath shower. As suggested by the reception staff, we booked a table in the much hyped Dukes bar but when we arrived at the alloted time there was no record of our booking from the reception staff. As other people were queuing we were turned away. The super helpful and apologetic (Italian) guy in the bar suggested we come back later but as this was too late for us we declined. Apparently this happens a lot. All in all it was a nice stay with pleasant and attentive staff if spoiled a little by not being able to visit the famous Dukes bar.

Stayed here for a couple of nights and beyond the spacious rooms, fantastic location tucked away in St James’ what I really wanted to focus on in this review is the staff. Can’t commend the check in staff enough. The authentic and costumer focused service we received was incredible. Every request was met with a smile and a real desire to please the guest. Only niggle was the noise that came from the heavy metal concertina door from the vintage elevator that kept crashing shut (as hard to manoeuvre quietly when handling luggage). Our room was very close to it so the noise was never far. All in all, I’d not hesitate to recommend this brilliant hotel to anyone who’s looking for a hidden gem in the heart of St James’. Keep it up

We booked an exec king room. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast room is lovely and the food very good. The hotel is in a great location with Green Park tube about 5 mins walk away. Located in a quiet cul-de-sac and easy to find, with Piccadilly just around the corner. We used the hotel as a sightseeing base and it worked very well. We did not eat any meals other than breakfast so we cannot comment on that side. We did visit the bar for the signature Vesper Martini - lethal in alcoholic content so not for the faint hearted and at £22.50 per glass a definite treat! The bedroom was comfortable offering excellent storage and the bathroom was a good size. Decor in the room was slightly tired ( including missing button cover on window seating) and at £500 per night, room only we were expecting more but the atmosphere and staff made up for it. An understated and subtle homely feel, not overly opulent and certainly not pretentious. Would definitely stay here again.
