Concierge
"Still run by the family that opened it in 1910, this "elegant property very much like a private English home" is adjacent to Buckingham Palace."

Michelin Guide
"Stylish interior... Impeccably kept and individually decorated bedrooms."
Frommer's
"In North Soho, a short walk from the heartbeat of Soho Square, this town house has been luxuriously converted into a high-end hotel that is London chic at its finest." Full review
Fodor's

Time Out

On Sundays, combine a three-course set meal with a classic film screened in the mini-cinema.
DK Eyewitness
"The ground floor bar is always buzzing with local workers as well as guests in this exquisitely designed hotel in a street full of restaurants."
Star Service
"Things are casual, including the lobby with its oak floor and leather chairs. Arrivals enter through this sparsely furnished reception room that is more modern-art gallery than lobby." Full review
Gayot
"Rooms feature soft pastels, snug duvets and pretty drapes, and all come well-equipped with the latest technology."
Travel + Leisure
"Decorated like a chintz-filled country house that Bertie Wooster might share with Anya Hindmarch, this shabby-chic 52-room hotel is filled with art curated by its co-owner." Full review
Zagat
"A Bloomsbury Group theme runs throughout this high-end boutique hotel set in a townhouse a block from Soho Square."
