About Sofitel London St James

The Sofitel St James is a luxury London hotel found just a stone’s throw from Buckingham Palace. This Christmas, the hotel is ready to celebrate the festive season like never before, welcoming parties of between 10 and 200 guests across its various event spaces. 

Whether you're planning a cosy dinner with colleagues, a festive lunch with friends, or a grand end-of-year celebration, Sofitel St James's range of beautifully appointed spaces offers the perfect setting. Choose from elegant private dining rooms, full restaurant hire, or exclusive use of one of the hotel's event spaces.

There are a number of event spaces available at the hotel, which can be hired for Christmas parties. The largest space is the high-ceilinged Westminster Suite, which can welcome up to 200 guests and is something of a blank canvas which can be decorated to match the theme of your Christmas party. For slightly smaller celebrations, there is the Mayfair Suite, which can accommodate up to 132 seated guests and is a glamorous space featuring chic wallpaper and glittering chandeliers.

Each space can be tailored to suit the style and size of your event, complete with seasonal décor, twinkling lights, and all the festive touches to create a warm atmosphere.

The Sofitel St James offers two inclusive Christmas party packages, well suited to intimate celebrations with friends or large-scale shindigs involving the whole of the office. The Party package includes a welcome glass of Champagne, four canapes and a three-course set festive menu, as well as tea, coffee, water and half a bottle of wine per person. Alternatively, for more relaxed occasions opt for the cheery Reception package, which includes a welcome glass of Champagne, six canapes, and a three-hour beer, wine and soft drinks package. Both packages also include a Christmas tree and festive centrepieces to help set the mood.

A selection of optional enhancements is also available, including extended drinks packages, live entertainment, and dance floors to help bring your event to life. With a dedicated team on hand to take care of every detail, you can relax and enjoy a truly memorable festive celebration.
