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

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

Travel + Leisure
