Kempinski Hotels and The Stafford Hotel have mutually and amicably agreed to end the management agreement for The Stafford London by Kempinski.

Reservations for the property can continue to be made via Kempinski’s sales channels until 10th September, 2014. Existing reservations will be honoured and staff, who are employed by The Stafford Hotel Ltd., will not be affected. This decision has been made in the best interests of all parties, who have ensured a smooth transition; the property was handed over by Kempinski to The Stafford Hotel Ltd. today, and the hotel is now branded as The Stafford London.

The Stafford London is a London institution with the famous American Bar and The Stafford Wine Cellars, and was founded in 1912. The Hotel has achieved a slew of awards including, in 2013, Travel + Leisure Magazine’s ‘World’s Best Business Hotel Awards’ taking first place in London and fifth worldwide, as well as their ‘World’s Best Awards’ placing third in Europe and 33rd worldwide, Condé Nast Traveller US’s ‘Gold List Europe’, Andrew Harper’s ‘Reader’s Choice Awards’ ninth place in Top City Hotels, and Forbes Travel Guide ‘4 Stars Award, among the Top Hotels in London’.

The management and staff remain at the hotel without change, and look forward to welcoming all guests loyal and new, to the hotel.
