Michelin Guide
"Pure white bedrooms with idiosyncratic design touches such as a framed picture ... on the ceiling."
Frommer's
"Travelers used to the sleek glitz of Manhattan design hotels will feel at home at the Sanderson." Full review
Time Out
"A noughties makeover by Philippe Starck and Denton Corker Marshall Architects turned the Grade II-listed Sanderson building... into a statement hotel." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"The Sanderson’s witty decor – red lips sofa and a framed portrait that seems to hang in mid-air – is like a surreal stage set."
Star Service
"Inside is an armada of unique, custom designer seating and theatrical lighting. This whimsical hotel may lack the freakish lighting of sibling St. Martins Lane but none of the drama. " Full review
Gayot
"With over-the-top interiors designed by Philippe Starck, the property features some pretty extraordinary touches."
Travel + Leisure
"Suka, the new Malaysian restaurant on site, was masterminded by New York’s Zak Pelaccio, and the 300-square-foot guest rooms feel surprisingly large." Full review
BlackBook
"The 91 rooms have Louis XIV-inspired furniture and no internal walls (i.e., the loos are see-through)."
Zagat
"Philippe Starck designed this luxury West End hotel in his signature contemporary style."
Lonely Planet
"Liberace meets Philippe Starck in an 18th-century French bordello – and that's just the reception."

Michelin Guide
"Enticingly refurbished 19C townhouses in smart area."
Concierge
"This exquisite little hotel would not normally qualify for the "Budget" designation, but it's a relative term in London at the best of times, and as budget splurges go, this is tops."
Fodor's
"Guest rooms at this lovely luxury guesthouse... look like they come from the pages of Architectural Digest, and the delightful garden is an added bonus." Full review
Lonely Planet
Top Choice
"With uplifting splashes of colour, choice art and a sophisticated-but-fun design ethos, ravishing Number Sixteen is four properties in one and a lovely (and rather labyrinthine) place to stay." Full review
Time Out
"This may be Kit Kemp’s most affordable hotel but there’s no slacking in style – witness the fresh flowers and origami-ed birdbook decorations in the comfy drawing room." Full review
Star Service
"This is a fine pick for boutique fans in search of a stylish British hideaway with contemporary elan and quirky guest rooms that provide a surprise at every turn." Full review
Gayot
"Number Sixteen is undoubtedly the most upscale bed-and-breakfast in Sumner Place, a smart, leafy street in South Kensington."
Zagat
"A private Victorian garden with a fountain and a fishpond is a highlight of this South Kensington boutique hotel, designed by Kit Kemp in her trademark contemporary-meets-classic-English style."
Mr & Mrs Smith
"A handsome, well-kept townhouse just steps from the South Kensington Tube station, Number Sixteen hotel is the perfect base for shopping and cultural excursions into London's city centre." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler
"A snapshot of upper crust life in London with the genuine feeling of being in a home, not a hotel." Full review
