Rough Guide "Provides high-class boutique style in the main building, and even more indulgence in the Carriage House, a row of beautifully converted eighteenth-century stables."
Michelin Guide "The bedrooms of this 'country house in the city' are divided between the main house, converted 18C stables and more modern mews."
Fodor's "This is a rare find: a posh hotel that's equal parts elegance and friendliness, and it's in one of the few peaceful spots in the area, down a small lane behind Piccadilly." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This long-established town house hotel near Green Park has won a slew of awards and spends more than £1 million a year keeping up its refined period-style interior."
Gayot "Having undergone a £6 million renovation, this hotel's first-floor reception, lounges, guest rooms and restaurant emerged looking sleeker and sexier than ever."
