Flooded in natural light, the angular lobby lends a boutique feel that carries through to the rest of the recently refurbished public spaces...
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
St. James's Park tube station sits directly opposite, with Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, and the royal parks just a short walk away.
The rooms
Calming cream interiors feature plush mattresses, Nespresso machines, and marble en-suites fitted with deep soaking tubs and rainfall showers.
The gym
A 24-hour fitness centre is stocked with cardio machines, dual-pulley cable stations, and free weights.
Bar
Blue Boar Pub
Wood-panelled walls lined with political caricatures surround the bar, which pours house craft ales and rare single malt whiskies.
Restaurant
The Pem
Rose-hued banquettes fill the Art Deco dining room, where chef Romy Gill cooks regional Indian recipes using seasonal British produce.
At the table
The Hedgerow mixes botanical cocktails by the lobby, and the glass-roofed Orchard Room serves afternoon tea under floral installations.
How it began
Set in the 19th-century Queen Anne's Chambers, the building once hosted political deals and still retains suffragette-era iron stair railings.
