History
Conrad London St. James opened as a Conrad in September 2014, becoming the brand’s first hotel in London after conversion from the former InterContinental London Westminster. The property occupies Queen Anne’s Chambers, a turn-of-the-20th-century building that once housed lobbyists, civil servants, and organizations such as The Brewers’ Society. Hilton describes the hotel as combining historic architecture with contemporary interior design, while the interiors also feature notable art installations. It is distinctive for its Westminster setting near St James’s Park and for its mix of classic British references with a modern luxury presentation.
The setting
Conrad London St. James stands on Broadway in Westminster, directly above St James's Park Underground station and five minutes' walk from Westminster Abbey. The Palace of Westminster and Big Ben are nine minutes on foot, Buckingham Palace eleven — placing the hotel squarely within the political and ceremonial heart of the British state. The surrounding SW1H streets have housed government ministries and intelligence services for centuries; the Division Bell, once rung to summon MPs to vote in the Commons chamber, was audible from this very street, giving this address an authority inseparable from the machinery of British power. 2 miles from Victoria.
