Rough Guide
"A dash of five-star Italian designer cool... service is impeccable."
Michelin Guide
"Bold and ornate... Stylish bedrooms have a masculine feel and boast impressive facilities."
Frommer's

Oyster
4.0
"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
"Two Victorian houses with open, modern lobby and secluded, south-facing garden terrace. Bedrooms come in bold, warm colours; 'Garden Rooms' have their own patios."
Frommer's
"Proof that London high style doesn't always come with a high price tag... All are bright and airy with large windows and simple lines, but we prefer the garden units with their own private patios." Full review
Concierge
"Outside, there's little to distinguish this white stucco Victorian from the many downscale hotels along this none-too-beautiful stretch of Cromwell Road, but inside, it's instant cheer."
Fodor's
"Despite being on the notoriously traffic-clogged Cromwell Road, this excellent little place is one of the best boutique hotels in this part of London." Full review
Lonely Planet
"With an understated-cool design ethos, things are muted, dapper and more than a tad minimalist at 'budget boutique' 40-room Rockwell." Full review
Time Out
"The Rockwell aims for relaxed contemporary elegance – and succeeds magnificently." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"Housed in a beautifully restored Victorian terrace, The Rockwell is owned by an architect, and it shows in the stunning decor and the glass bridge that links the hotel to its courtyard garden."
Travel + Leisure
"The epitome of understated chic, the Rockwell welcomes guests in a cozy reception lounge outfitted with an elegant library, vibrant flowers and even a kids' playing area." Full review
BlackBook
"Look no further than the Rockwell if you are seeking out cozy lux hotel for your stay in London."
Zagat
"Set inside converted townhouses in South Kensington, this high-end boutique hotel offers contemporary rooms and split-level suites."
