DK Eyewitness "The Neo-Classical facade dates from 1863. Mahogany, brass and marble furnishings give it the feel of a gentleman’s club."
Time Out "The lobby is nice enough, as are the guest rooms (even if they won't conform to everyone's idea of chic interior design), and the location is suitably swanky." Full review
Star Service "The Davenport competes well, however, and has earned its fair share of loyal repeaters over two decades of refined service. " Full review
