"Swanky Georgian townhouse hotel... the quiet, English eccentric rooms – cool without being minimal – have sumptuous fittings."
"Stylish interior... Impeccably kept and individually decorated bedrooms."
"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
"Modern flair and the traditional are fused together in this super-stylish Soho retreat, beautifully decorated with unique printed fabrics from designer Kit Kemp." Full review
"Now a fine exponent of Kit Kemp’s much imitated fusion of flowery English and avant-garde, this gorgeous hotel was once a dental hospital." Full review

On Sundays, combine a three-course set meal with a classic film screened in the mini-cinema.
"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."
"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
"Rooms feature soft pastels, snug duvets and pretty drapes, and all come well-equipped with the latest technology."
"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
"A Bloomsbury Group theme runs throughout this high-end boutique hotel set in a townhouse a block from Soho Square."

"A delightful little hideaway in trendy Clerkenwell. It’s as charming as can be."
"A row of charmingly restored 18C houses. Wood panelling, stone-flagged flooring, open fires and antique furniture."
"Don't expect bellhops or a concierge—come here for the excellent location in one of the most evocative, Dickensian parts of London."
"An absolutely unique and beautiful 1725 town house, the Rookery is the kind of place where you want to allow quality time to enjoy and soak up the atmosphere." Full review
"Sister hotel to Hazlitt’s, the Rookery has long been something of a celebrity hideaway deep in Clerkenwell." Full review
"Occupying six Georgian houses and stores... this Dickensian hideaway retains many original features, such as flagstone floors in the hall and ceiling beams in some of the rooms."
"To that end, a row of Georgian houses in a narrow lane have been turned into a little gem of a hotel; it is creaky and quaint and feels as if it's been around forever."
"Quirky, eccentric, and laden with a sense of the antique, the Rookery is a great choice for travelers who want a hotel with the atmosphere of Dickens' or Dr. Johnson's London." Full review
"Think wood fires and honour code open bar. Temptation incarnate."

"A grown-up boutique hotel on a quiet Smithfield lane, with 33 quirky rooms decked out in 18th-century colours, with antiques, glowing wood and modernised mad plumbing." Full review
