About Dukes London
Dukes London occupies a townhouse setting tucked away on St James's Place, the kind of quiet courtyard address that feels removed from the bustle of central London despite being right in the middle of it. The building's period character comes through in its traditional façade, while inside the 87 rooms have been given a stylish, contemporary finish with en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning and the usual comforts of a well-run city hotel.
Beyond the rooms, Dukes London has built its reputation on its cocktail bar and restaurant, both popular enough to draw visitors who aren't even staying the night. There's also a gym and spa with steam room for guests wanting to unwind, plus room service, laundry service, concierge and porter support, and business facilities including meeting rooms for those travelling on work. Airport transfers and valet parking take care of the practical side of a stay.
The location puts guests within reach of London's entertainment, pubs, bars and restaurants nearby, and Charing Cross is accessible for onward travel across the city. It's a hotel built for those who want a characterful base with proper facilities rather than a budget stopover.
What guests say
We have been looking forward to visiting the Duke's London Martini Bar 4 quite some time and given its legendary reputation so our expectations were definitely High going in and I'm happy to say they were ultimately met. From the moment we arrived the service stood out as exceptional. The staff were attentive polished and made us feel welcome despite the fact that we had to wait an hour for a table. Well they mention that reservations aren't taken it was a bit confusing to notice some tables were marked as reserved. Still once we were seated The experience quickly made up for the wait. Of course the star of the show was the martini. Ours were absolutely delicious, perfectly crafted and worth every bit of the anticipation. We did ask for them to be shaken which seemed to catch the staff slightly off guard but they were gracious and accommodating making sure our request was honored without issue. Overall it was a memorable experience despite the initial weight and slight reservation confusion. The quality of the drinks and the level of service made it worthwhile. We're glad we were able to check this iconic spot off our list of things to do in London.

A fantastic experience at Dukes London. The atmosphere is wonderfully relaxing, making it the perfect place to unwind. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the whole visit even more enjoyable. You really feel well looked after from the moment you arrive. And the drinks are superb. Not only do they taste excellent, but watching them being made is truly something special. The way they prepare them is nothing short of art. If you’re looking for a place with brilliant drinks, a relaxed atmosphere and genuinely warm service, Dukes London is well worth a visit.

£27.5 for a Martini + 15% service charge. The martini was suuuuper strong and really big, felt like sipping shots - one is enough which is what you’d hope for with that price tag. The service a bit less friendly. I picked a Martini and got questioned about why I picked it and received not much guidance as to what would suit my taste. You would expect a better treatment considering that much money is spent.

We had a super couple of hours in the Delaney Drawing Room. It has been beautifully decorated and the team were so kind, helpful and knowledgeable. All of our drinks were delicious too. It was such a super start to our Easter weekend. Thank you for such fantastic experience.
