St James’s Hotel & Club: a five-star Mayfair institution perfect for port-lovers

Not a port person? Prepare for a rethink. Port is having a revival - sales are up 11.5 per cent since the start of 2020 and became a new hit with millennials over lockdown - and nowhere does it quite like the sommeliers at St James’s Hotel & Club, who claim to serve the widest variety of port in any London bar - including the oldest wine in the UK to be sold by the glass.

Truly, it would be rude (and irresponsible) not to make a night of it and roll into a four-poster bed upstairs afterwards. Especially when there are Michelin-star scallops on the menu for dinner and a heavenly breakfast buffet in the morning.
