"A meticulously renovated 111-room, five-story Edwardian town house hotel (formerly the Grosvenor Kensington) close to the South Kensington tube station." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "The Ampersand Hotel draws on its South Ken locale: bird sketches that could have flown from the Natural History Museum, and musical motifs that riff on the Royal Albert Hall." Full review
Time Out "The plush and tastefully decorated rooms are pretty smooth alright, with even slicker amenities that range from L’Occitane toiletries to an excellent en suite bathroom. " Full review
Frommer's "In August of 2012, this grand hotel from 1888 was given a makeover that’s both sassy and reverently British, and now it’s got its cool back for the first time since Victoria." Full review

Rough Guide "A consistent winner on the designer hotel scene... the five restaurants and bars keep the place buzzing."
Michelin Guide "A contemporary and stylish interior... Bright and spacious bedrooms with state-of-the-art facilities."
Concierge "Hyatt Hotels & Resorts rebranded it under their new "big boutique" Andaz label. And big it is, with 267 bedrooms, five restaurants, and four bars, including a pub and Japanese and fish restaurants."
Time Out "The new approach means out with gimmicky menus, closet-sized minibars and even the lobby reception desk, and in with down-to-earth, well-informed service and eco-friendliness." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This magnificent 19th-century railroad hotel was formerly the Great Eastern Hotel. It is now a concept hotel with boutique-inspired credentials."
Gayot "Using a fresh, simple and personalized service model, this property attracts everyone from business travelers to romantic weekenders to style-seeking creative types."
Travel + Leisure "With its 19th century red brick Victorian exterior, this financial district hotel was one of the original London railway hotels." Full review
BlackBook "Settle into your deconstructed, relaxed, mi-casa-es-su-casa joint in the midst of London's most bustling hood."
Zagat "A grand Victorian exterior conceals striking contemporary interiors at this boutique hotel next to Liverpool Street Station, where check-in via iPad sets the hip tone."
Frommer's "The Andaz really has the best of both worlds -- tradition and modernity coming together beautifully under its elegant Victorian roof." Full review
