The Trafalgar St. James London

The Trafalgar St. James, part of the Hilton network, possesses so much that other hotels envy, including a golden location in the heart of town, a manageable size, and a rooftop bar overlooking Trafalgar Square that gets busy, but guests have priority. How lucky that it doesn’t fumble the hidden details, either: Rooms have their own urban personality with cushioned headboards, settees, and ample bathrooms, some of which even have tubs in addition to shower booths. Furniture quality can be a touch Hiltonish (meaning mass-produced) and rooms on the upper floors trade unbeatable views for smaller windows than on the lower floors, but that’s more than acceptable considering the reasonable price point and all the standout features. On the whole, there’s a great deal to adore here, and more than enough to make it a primary choice for many.
