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."

Frommer's "Entering the Soho Hotel always gets our hearts racing... Tatler called it "the most glamorous hotel in the world"." Full review
Concierge "Of their flawless six-pack of welcoming, contemporary hotels, the Soho may be even more glamorous than their best-known Covent Garden Hotel."
