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

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
