Michelin Guide
"Impressive two acre roof garden. Stylish bedrooms."
Concierge
"Arguably, the nicest feature is the hotel's roof garden. Replete with lawns, an arch-shaped covered deck, and all-weather armchairs, it's the only one in the city."
Travel + Leisure
"Built around the neo-Gothic façade of a 19th-century church, the Glasshouse Hotel contrasts old stone with contemporary, metal-framed glass walls." Full review

"This ultra-hip hotel has 65 chichi rooms with push-button curtains and sliding doors opening onto a huge, lush roof garden scattered with Philippe Starck furniture."
Star Service
"What it lacks in facilities it makes up for in the service department: free shoeshines, complimentary business cards, free Wi-Fi and adept 24-hour room service." Full review

The Telegraph
8.0
"Don’t let the high-Gothic entrance fool you, The Glasshouse features lots of groovy furnishings (including a snug/bar complete with fire bowl), a fab rooftop garden, retro-styled bedrooms overlooking the city or garden and a restaurant that only opens when it feels like it, it's a little off-piste - but in a good way."
