Michelin Guide "Unique and stylish, from the starkly modern lobby to the state-of-the-art bedrooms."
Insight Guides "Designed by Phillippe Starck, and still the most fashionable hotel in London."
Time Out "There’s still much to be impressed by: the all-white bedrooms have comfortable minimalism down to a T." Full review
DK Eyewitness "An outpost of New York-based Morgans Hotel Group, the St. Martins has been a flagship of the boutique-hotel wave, with eye-popping design by style guru Philippe Starck."
Star Service "Three blocks east of Leicester Square and three blocks west of Covent Garden , this hotel is operated by the trusted Morgans Hotel Group although it has different owners." Full review

The custom-built entertainment centers house flat-screen plasma TVs, CD players, and both DVD players and VCRs. More than 1,500 movies can be requested from the hotel's library.
Gayot "This superbly trendy choice stay is the product of Philippe Starck, who transformed what was a soulless, '60s shell into a vast, very-twenty-first-century refuge."
BlackBook "At night, the five-star hotel lights up into individual chambers of different colors, making it very easy to see and yearn to stay at."
Zagat "Designer Philippe Starck is the mind behind this hip Ian Schrager luxury hotel in the West End, where the minimalist white quarters can be personalised with ambient mood lighting."
Lonely Planet "A slice of New York urban chic just a stone’s throw from Covent Garden, this Philippe Starck–designed hotel is so cool you’d hardly notice it was there."
Jetsetter "A super-cool stay at a newly redesigned, five-star in London's Theater District, with breakfast included." Full review

Lonely Planet "Rising like a phoenix from the ashes of the 'old' King's Cross – once the city's red light district – the Great Northern Hotel, with its curving brick facade, would make its 1854 incarnation proud." Full review
Zagat "Open since 1854, this elegant hotel within King's Cross Station retains its wrought-iron staircases and broad, curved corridors, though guestrooms are thoroughly modern."
Frommer's "Of all the major railway terminal hotels currently in operation in London, the Great Northern is the most distinct—and the smallest." Full review
Star Service "The grand sweeping curve of the hotel is still at the hub of Europe's railway network and is just a few steps from U.K. and international Eurostar rail terminals." Full review
OysterLuxury
"The 91 rooms, with sash windows and vintage Farrow & Bell Shades, are elegant and contemporary, and a few of the bathrooms have roll-top bathtubs." Full review
Jetsetter "Revamped railway hotel with gorgeous rooms, a sultry cocktail bar and a restaurant helmed by a Michelin-starred chef." Full review
Time Out "From the swanky lighting and the hand crafted furniture to the sleek decoration, everything about the Great Northern Hotel oozes glamour and sophistication." Full review
Frommer's "Rooms aren’t huge, but they have a smart modern edge that includes—daringly for a hotel—cream-colored carpeting...high-standard perks pack the other spaces—a good British restaurant, Plum & Spilt Milk" Full review
