DUKES LONDON

Dukes London sits on St James’s Pl. It is a five-minute walk from St. James’s Park and within a fifteen-minute walk of both Buckingham Palace and The Royal Academy of Arts.

The hotel trades on a specific brand of quiet, old-world English formality that feels increasingly out of place in the city's flashier quarters. While neighbouring hotels in Mayfair often pivot toward modern, open-plan theatre, Dukes offers a series of intimate, wood-panelled rooms that feel sequestered from the street. It is the better choice for those who prefer their surroundings buttoned-up rather than buzzy. Staying here requires an appreciation for a slower pace, as the address provides the privacy of a residence rather than the lobby-heavy atmosphere that defines the rest of the district.
