Location & History
St. Ermin's Hotel is situated next to St. James' Park and Tube Station, within walking distance of Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, and St. James's Park. The building served as a Special Operations Executive training facility during WWII, and a historical section in the lobby documents this espionage legacy. Guests enter through a tree-lined courtyard that leads into a lobby with preserved architectural details and a museum corner.
Amenities & Unique Features
The hotel maintains a rooftop bee terrace with 350,000 bees, producing honey used in the breakfast buffet. An in-house kitchen garden on the rooftop supplies fresh vegetables to the hotel's restaurant. Complimentary wine and appetizers are served daily from 5:30 to 6:30 PM, and a sun terrace with outdoor furniture offers additional relaxation space.
Dining & Food
The in-house Caxton Grill serves a menu focused on grilled fish and meat, complemented by a wine list featuring international selections. Breakfast includes a buffet with fresh honeycomb from the hotel's beehives, a made-to-order egg station, and a bagel station with toppings. Afternoon tea is offered in a traditional setting, with a completely vegetarian option available.
Rooms & Accommodations
Rooms include crisp bed linens, marble bathrooms, and an LED TV entertainment system with an iPod docking station. The hotel offers a variety of themed rooms and personalized decor options, including family rooms with two bathrooms. Each room is allergy-free and air-conditioned, with turn-down service including bottled water and chocolates replenished daily.
Family & Pet-Friendly Services
At check-in, children receive a Top Secret folder with a scavenger hunt that sends them around the hotel to answer historical questions and win a prize.
