"A meticulously renovated 111-room, five-story Edwardian town house hotel (formerly the Grosvenor Kensington) close to the South Kensington tube station." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "The Ampersand Hotel draws on its South Ken locale: bird sketches that could have flown from the Natural History Museum, and musical motifs that riff on the Royal Albert Hall." Full review
Time Out "The plush and tastefully decorated rooms are pretty smooth alright, with even slicker amenities that range from L’Occitane toiletries to an excellent en suite bathroom. " Full review

Michelin Guide "Smart, spacious hotel... with stylish blend of modern and antique furnishings."
Concierge "If style is high on your list of priorities, then look no further than the Haymarket."
Time Out "The public spaces are a delight, with Kemp’s trademark combination of contemporary arty surprises... and impossible-to-leave, bright, plump, floral sofas." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A boutique addition to the West End’s luxury hotels, the Haymarket has subtly colorful, very well-equipped rooms and suites designed with panache."
Star Service "In the heart of London's West End, just off the Haymarket and a few minutes' walk from Piccadilly and Trafalgar Square, it is adjacent to the Haymarket Theater and very close to the National Gallery." Full review
Gayot "With the Haymarket Hotel, hoteliers Tim and Kit Kemp continue to corner the boutique hotel market in London."
Travel + Leisure "Even the Haymarket’s indoor pool lounge is no mere fitness center—its wenge-and-pewter bar, nightclub-caliber sound system, and 300-person capacity are clearly meant for after-hours activities." Full review
Zagat "Situated in a row of Georgian townhouses in the Theatre District, this upscale boutique hotel is done up in contemporary English style by noted interior designer Kit Kemp."
Condé Nast Traveler93.9
"The graceful building by John Nash—architect of the Theatre Royal Haymarket, next door—has its entrance on quiet Suffolk Place." Full review
Jetsetter "Colorful Kit Kemp-designed boutique with its own conservatory, drawing room, and sceney basement pool." Full review
