Sofitel St James

In 2002 the building was acquired by Sofitel and transformed into a 125,000 sq ft luxury 5-star hotel. French designer Pierre-Yves Rochon created a modernist luxury interior with nods to the traditional private members' clubs that the area is renowned for.

The 183 bedrooms were refurbished in a £16M project also led by Pierre-Yves Rochon. Rochon’s modern take on Art Deco was complemented by Perrin & Rowe’s Traditional brassware which was supplied by Faucets, with both basin mixers and bath filler specified for every bathroom.
