Michelin Guide "An assuredly English feel to this Georgian house. Discreet lobby leads to a clubby bar and wood panelled library. Individua lly decorated bedrooms, with some antique pieces. Intimate and..."
Frommer's "Only in super-expensive Mayfair could the Chesterfield be considered a bargain, but it serves up that ritzy grand hotel feeling... still sports venerable features that evoke an air of nobility." Full review
Fodor's "Deep in the heart of Mayfair, the former town house of the Earl of Chesterfield welcomes guests in wood-and-leather public rooms that match the dark-wood furnishings in the bedrooms." Full review
OysterUpscale
"This 107-room hotel has traditional Victorian decor, including a grand chandelier in the lobby and portraits on the walls." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A welcoming luxury hotel near Berkeley Square, the Chesterfield offers a variety of rooms... there’s underfloor heating in the marble bathrooms and free use of a nearby health club."
Star Service "The credo here is "No request too large, no detail too small," ensuring that guests' preferences are recorded, that bottled water awaits in their quarters, and that room service is always on call. " Full review
Star Service "Plainly put, this is a sophisticated contemporary hotel with a human touch and human scale, a livelier version of the smaller, more refined One Aldwych." Full review
Gayot "With a thorough refurbishment, The Chesterfield was brought up to the standards one would expect from such an excellent address."
Travel + Leisure "This boutique property near Green Park brings to the table two important features hard to come by at many grand London hotels: personalized service and an intimate setting." 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
