Michelin Guide "It was the original site of the Playboy Club and has been a car showroom but now 45 Park Lane has been reborn as The Dorchester's sister hotel."
Star Service "It is the little sister of the nearby classically grand Dorchester hotel, which it relies on for some luxury frills and backup facilities." Full review
Gayot "With the opening of 45 Park Lane, the Dorchester Collection offers upscale travelers the ninth property in its portfolio of luxury hotels."
Travel + Leisure "The Thierry Despont-designed 45 Park Lane, located across the street from its older sibling the Dorchester, opened in the summer of 2011 as a more intimate and modern version of its glitzier neighbor." Full review
BlackBook "This swish new Mayfair destination boasts the stylistic acumen of star designer Thierry W.Despont, with cerused mahogany and camel-hued suede lending it a vaguely masculine air."
Forbes Travel Guide 4 Stars
"With distinctive art deco styling, 45 Park Lane is a breath of fresh air in London’s posh Mayfair neighborhood." Full review

Michelin Guide "World famous... lavishly appointed and luxurious rooms."
Concierge "One of the world's famous hotels... opened in 1906, and is quite as lovely as it was in its first heyday—thanks largely to more than ten years of sympathetic private ownership."
Time Out "If you like the idea of a world where jeans and trainers are banned and jackets must be worn by gentlemen when dining (the requirement is waived for breakfast), the Ritz is for you." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A byword for pampering luxury since it opened in 1906, the Ritz continues to win awards for superior all-round service."
Star Service "The Ritz's clientele is composed of a comic, age-old dichotomy of jet-setting billionaires and splurging romantics. " Full review
Gayot "Built in 1906 by César Ritz, The Ritz London stands proud as the bastion of grand luxury and opulence."
Travel + Leisure "Designed in a French-chateau style and opened in 1906, The Ritz London neighbors Green Park and Buckingham Palace." Full review
