every time.

For a timeless stay,

Meet James

James isn’t just our name — he’s the spirit behind everything we do. Effortlessly charming, endlessly curious, and always in-the-know, James is the friend who makes every gathering better and every stay feel like it was made just for you. At The James, hospitality is personal. Expect a warm welcome, food and drinks worth lingering over, and fabulous people (like you). Come stay awhile — James has been expecting you.

Because James has Great Taste

At The James, curiosity leads the way. You live for what’s next—we create with that same sense of discovery. In our bars and restaurants, every dish is an invitation to explore, every cocktail a moment of unexpected delight.

Here, menus are driven by imagination and crafted with intention. Our award-winning culinary team doesn’t follow trends—they spark them. What’s on the plate is bold, artful, and entirely of the moment. What’s in the glass? A story waiting to be told—shaken, stirred, or simply poured with purpose.

Our mixologists read the energy of the room and respond with drinks that surprise and satisfy in equal measure. Whether it’s an unorthodox pairing or a playful twist on something familiar, there’s always something new to discover.

In partnership with celebrated chefs and cultural visionaries, The James is reimagining hotel dining as a creative, ever-evolving experience—equal parts vibe and flavor.

Come curious. Leave inspired.

Need a last-minute table at the restaurant everyone’s talking about? James has a connection. Want the perfect cocktail before heading out? It’s already on the way. Curious what’s worth your time in town? James knows—because James is always in the know.

He’s not behind a desk or reading from a script. He’s the friend with great taste, the host who knows the destination like the back of their hand, the person who turns a stay into a story worth retelling.

Because at The James, hospitality isn’t a formality—it’s a feeling. Style isn’t surface—it’s substance. And the vibe? Effortless. Enduring. Unmistakably James.
