    View Treatments Menu  

    Housed in the former Cox’s and King's bank, the five star Sofitel London St James sits in the center of the city's West End, within walking distance of famous landmarks such as Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, and St James's Park. The grade II-listed building merges its neoclassic facade of the property's original construction with a modern French flair that complements Sofitel's "art de recevoir" philosophy.

    The 184 guest rooms and suites offer sleek, high-tech amenities, rich fabrics in shades of chocolate, almond and olive, lacquered mahogany furniture, thick carpets, sophisticated lighting and state-of-the-art technology, which are trademarks of the hotel.

    The Balcon, this grand brasserie is the perfect setting to enjoy the finest French-British cuisine from Head Chef Vincent Menager. The area has been designed with the sense of arrival evident throughout each of the distinct areas: the brasserie, the custom-made charcuterie bar, the Champagne Balcony, the tasting table and private dining room.The Balcon offers breakfast, morning tea and savouries, lunch, French and English afternoon tea, Champagne and cocktails, charcuterie, dinner and late night dining. The St James Bar takes its inspiration from Coco Chanel’s 1920’s Paris apartment. The cocktail list includes vintage cocktails from antique recipe books as well as a wide champagne list and English sparkling wine animated by our very own champagne angel.

    Set over three floors, the 392-square-meter Sofitel So SPA offers a menu of services using Carita and Cinq Mondes products. New and expecting mothers can also indulge in treatments with the range of Mama Mio products. The So FIT by Sofitel exercise facility features Technogym equipment and an exclusive Sha Chair offering a unique multi-sensory experience.

Bank On It!
By KevinT | January 11, 2010
5.00 out of 5 stars
I visited this historic and listed bank building on Waterloo Place before it was transformed into the first Sofitel So SPA. And what a transformation! I was knocked out the design and the colours - a stunning piece of French urban chic in downtown St James... brilliant! And I'm a big fan of Cinque Monde - I think they have great products which I have tried a few times before. So I tried out a body scrub on the heated hammam table and took full advantage of the steam room and hammam facilities - followed by a relaxing full body massage. Then I chilled out in the relaxation area with a personal iPod - nice touch. Over a cup of tea my 'spa butler' took me through the products - something I like to do because I'm interested in whats going on my skin (only one I've got!). I was very happy. Overall - a great addition to one of the best hotels in London

Vive la French...
By CassandraC | December 18, 2009
5.00 out of 5 stars
Sofitel St James is a great combo of traditional British architecture and design with a glorious French twist. The SO Spa (great name!) is housed in an old bank that has somehow been transformed into an oasis of beauty and relaxation. I have experienced Cinq Monde products one other time (in Monaco) and was thrilled to find the treatments closer to home. I had a Ko Bi Do facial - and came out feeling so refreshed and renewed that I bought the entire line of products that they used on me - they smell glorious and I'm convinced they actually work. All the therapists are clearly very professional, but i knew I'd really love Claire when she treated me to much needed "extractions" (not sure if it was part of the facial) but it made all the difference. And reminded me what I love about French Estheticians.
