Oyster4.0
"This boutique hotel offers an excellent location on the southwest tip of Hyde Park overlooking Kensington Gardens." Full review
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 "Despite its self-declared status as one of London’s hottest spots, this is a solidly pleasant hotel for anyone who wants to do a lot of shopping." Full review
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 "Opulent Italian design, sultry rooms and an elegant restaurant overlooking London’s Hyde Park." Full review

Michelin Guide "Discreet and rejuvenated hotel with rooftop pool and opulently decorated bedrooms."
Frommer's "The Berkeley's winning formula remains intact -- a classic Art Deco grand hotel but with the kind of understated, helpful service that sets it apart from stuffier neighbors." Full review
i
Request one of the refurbished rooms; some of the older units are looking a little tired.
Concierge "The Berkeley's Knightsbridge location... has firmly established it as one of the most fashionable hotel addresses in London."
Fodor's "Convenient for Knightsbridge shopping, the very elegant Berkeley is known for its renowned restaurants and luxuries that culminate—literally—in a splendid penthouse swimming pool." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Not the best-known of London’s luxury hotels, rebuilt in the 1970s, but the Berkeley offers an exceptional range of opulent services."
Star Service "Apart from its sophisticated decor and superlative service, the hotel also offers a few notable highlights, including two excellent restaurants and smart guest room decor." Full review
Gayot "Since it opened in 1972, The Berkeley has been in the vanguard of London's top hotels. Built of sandstone, it has mellowed well and has a timeless elegance."
Travel + Leisure "Discreet yet stylish, this hotel is the centerpiece of so many must-dos it’s easy to forget about the elegant rooms." Full review
BlackBook "One of London's fanciest hotels, the Berkeley draws celebs, business-folk, and the merely rich in equal numbers."
Zagat "Chic design mixed with art deco details and classic touches distinguishes this Knightsbridge luxury hotel."
