“Althoff St James'S Hotel & Club strikes me as a Mayfair oddity, balancing grand aspirations within the constraints of its boutique setting. The Michelin-starred dining hints at serious luxury, while the quiet cul-de-sac promises a hushed escape from the city's bustle. In my opinion, it's a place with clear strengths for business and leisure travelers, though perhaps not without a few quirks in execution.”
