Concierge

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."

Michelin Guide
"Two Victorian houses with open, modern lobby and secluded, south-facing garden terrace. Bedrooms come in bold, warm colours; 'Garden Rooms' have their own patios."
Frommer's
"Proof that London high style doesn't always come with a high price tag... All are bright and airy with large windows and simple lines, but we prefer the garden units with their own private patios." Full review
Concierge
"Outside, there's little to distinguish this white stucco Victorian from the many downscale hotels along this none-too-beautiful stretch of Cromwell Road, but inside, it's instant cheer."
Fodor's
"Despite being on the notoriously traffic-clogged Cromwell Road, this excellent little place is one of the best boutique hotels in this part of London." Full review
Lonely Planet
"With an understated-cool design ethos, things are muted, dapper and more than a tad minimalist at 'budget boutique' 40-room Rockwell." Full review
Time Out
"The Rockwell aims for relaxed contemporary elegance – and succeeds magnificently." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"Housed in a beautifully restored Victorian terrace, The Rockwell is owned by an architect, and it shows in the stunning decor and the glass bridge that links the hotel to its courtyard garden."
Travel + Leisure
"The epitome of understated chic, the Rockwell welcomes guests in a cozy reception lounge outfitted with an elegant library, vibrant flowers and even a kids' playing area." Full review
BlackBook
"Look no further than the Rockwell if you are seeking out cozy lux hotel for your stay in London."
Zagat
"Set inside converted townhouses in South Kensington, this high-end boutique hotel offers contemporary rooms and split-level suites."
