Time Out
"Occupying a mansion opposite Kensington Palace and offering a butler on each floor and a chauffeur-driven Maserati, the Baglioni is certainly luxurious." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler

Star Service
"This glossy four-star boutique-hotel is an Italian version of the more traditional Milestone one block away, more avant-garde than avuncular, swankier and sexier than its prim and proper neighbor." Full review
Gayot
"Unlike many of London's five-star properties, the Baglioni does not need to scream its grandeur to the world, but it will shout it out once guests set foot in the door."
Zagat
"This outpost of the luxury Italian hotel chain is filled with opulent details such as Murano glass chandeliers in public areas and handmade Moroccan copper sinks in the guestrooms."
Jetsetter
