/ About
Conrad London St. James occupies Queen Anne's Chambers on Broadway, opposite St James's Park station and a few minutes' walk from Westminster Abbey and Parliament. The chambers were built at the turn of the 20th century and let to people who needed to be near the seat of power; the Brewers' Society and the Treasury Solicitor both held rooms here. Hilton reopened the building as its first London Conrad in September 2014, keeping the 19th-century facade and putting a contemporary interior behind it. The art is the hotel's signature: the collection includes Chris Levine's holographic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, 'Lightness of Being', and a large sculpture by Evil Ed and Dan Robotic called 'The House Always Wins'.
The Whitehall Suite is the largest room, 2,937 square feet under a ten-foot ceiling, seating 220 at round tables and holding 300 for a reception. It divides into four sections, each with its own projector and screen, and the pre-function foyer outside it takes 100 for drinks. Four smaller rooms follow, three of them named for the country residences of British ministers: Chevening for 50, Dorneywood for 40, the ten-seat Chequers boardroom and Bailey's for six.
The Orchard Room sits under a glass roof and seats 50 for dinner or 80 for a reception. Floor-to-ceiling doors open it into The Hedgerow, a cocktail bar with a green marble counter that takes 120 standing on exclusive hire and splits into four semi-private areas. The Pem, the hotel's restaurant, opens a new chapter on 17 September 2026 with Romy Gill MBE at the helm and a menu of regional Indian cooking, and it holds a private dining room, the Harben Room, for 22. Blue Boar Pub, on Tothill Street, won Best Pub and Bar in Greater London at the 2022 National Pub and Bar Awards and keeps a six-seat private drinking room called The Snug.
