“Dukes London, with its blend of historic charm and modern luxury, impresses as a discreetly opulent experience. The signature martini at DUKES Bar is deservedly famous, as is the hotel's proximity to Buckingham Palace, placing guests in the heart of St James's.

Acceptable stay but some issues noted
street noise inconsistent thermostat
The location was convenient, close to many attractions.
My room faced a busy street, and the noise was quite disruptive. I also found the thermostat to be unreliable. It was hard to maintain a consistent temperature in the room. The breakfast omelette lacked flavor and had a rubbery texture.
