Sofitel London St James
What the classifiers highlight
Built as a bank in the 1920s, this neoclassical address on St James's now runs 183 rooms, 21 of them suites, decorated by Pierre Yves Rochon with 1960s-flavoured prints and a Smeg kettle in every room. Forbes credits Anthony Demetre for pairing bouillabaisse with British custard tarts, and the Rose Lounge for its afternoon tea under pastry chef Lerrick Coelho.
