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
