Eat
Caxton Grill, housed within St Ermin’s Hotel, brings a seasonal, produce-led approach to its modern European menu. With a focus on British sourced ingredients—some even grown in the hotel’s own rooftop garden—the kitchen highlights carefully reared meats, sustainably caught fish, and homegrown vegetables. Charcoal grill specials are a highlight, offering guests hearty, flame-seared cuts with depth of flavour. The menu, available as à la carte, embraces the freshest market offerings, with elegant plates and contemporary touches. Caxton Grill’s calm ambience and professional service make it well suited for both leisurely dinners and celebratory occasions.
Sleep

Many rooms feature marble bathrooms, plush carpets, and unexpected pops of colour, with family rooms and suites offering extra space for those travelling with children. Crisp linens, comfortable beds, and thoughtful details ensure restful nights, whether you’re staying for business or pleasure. Those seeking a more indulgent stay can select a suite with additional lounge space and luxurious touches.
Retreat
Guests are free to spend a lazy afternoon unwinding in St Ermin’s grand, chandelier-lit lobby or enjoying a classic afternoon tea in the light-filled lounge. The leafy courtyard and outdoor terraces provide calm spots for drinks after a day exploring. Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, and St James’s Park are all within a 10-minute walk, while nearby St James’s Park Underground station gives swift access to Covent Garden and the West End in under 15 minutes. After sightseeing, return to savour a cocktail in the storied Caxton Bar, once a favourite of Churchill-era spies. For a short, gourmet break in the capital, St Ermin’s offers every comfort with a touch of history and style.
