Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: Tucked away on a side street in busy Westminster, this discreet hotel sits around a small courtyard car park. The spacious reception area has large chandeliers and is overlooked by a colonnaded balcony. Built in 1887 as mansion flats on the site of a 15th-century chapel, and converted to an hotel in 1905, St Ermin’s retains its tradition of hosting Members of Parliament as well as business people and tourists.
Amenity highlights: The original features of this English Heritage Grade II listed building have been carefully preserved and the baroque-style ceilings, large chandeliers, and marbled columns add a grand feel to all public areas. Diners can chose between the traditional, ornate splendor of Crystal Room Restaurant, or the Italian cuisine of Allegro con Brio, a fine dining restaurant with Murano glass fittings imported from Venice.
Insider tip: Located close to the Houses of Parliament, the hotel has always been a popular base for MPs. In order to ensure that they did not miss any important votes, a Division Bell used to ring in the Lobby, informing them that their presence was immediately required. They would then follow a secret passage that led directly from the hotel to the Houses of Parliament. The passage is now blocked off.

Dining
Crystal Room Restaurant Cream and brown paintwork complements the ornate plasterwork of the original Victorian ceiling in this traditional restaurant, where guests take breakfast as well as lunch and dinner. Said to have been the site of a monastic dining hall, the menu features traditional British food with an Italian influence, such as monkfish with lemon mashed potatoes and caper flowers.
Allegro con Brio -This fine dining Italian restaurant has elegant appeal, with gleaming rosewood furniture, large mirrors on the walls and black and cream light fittings made from Murano glass, imported from Italy. Small Murano glass flowers also dot the mirrors. A luxurious touch is provided by the deep gold colored tablecloths and napkins. There is a lunch and dinner menu featuring fresh produce which is often sourced directly from Italy.
Caxton Bar - Named after William Caxton, who developed the first printing press in this part of London, this large, comfortable bar has a masculine feel with deep red walls and marbled fireplaces. It serves drinks only, including a wide selection of Italian wines and single malt whiskies.
Lounge - The hotel lounge serves light snacks all day and is noted for its traditional English afternoon teas.
