Michelin Guide "An attractive Victorian townhouse in an elegant terrace."
Frommer's "The quintessential Portobello Hotel tale is the night that Kate Moss and Johnny Depp allegedly took a champagne bath here. It sums up the hotel -- glamorous, bubbly, and expensive." Full review

Since windows are not double-glazed, request a room in the quiet rear.
Concierge "The very definition of shabby chic, the decor is half high-Victorian, half colonial, with claw-foot tubs and a great deal of red velvet."
Fodor's "One of London's quirkiest hotels, the little Portobello... is seriously hip, attracting scores of celebrities to its small but stylish rooms that are decorated with joyous abandon." Full review

Frommer's "Few hotels have the time-honored experience of "the Dorch," which has maintained a tradition of fine comfort and cuisine since it opened in 1931." Full review
Concierge "Like its sisters, the Meurice and Plaza Athénée in Paris and the Beverly Hills Hotel in L.A., this is as grand as a hotel gets."
Fodor's "Few hotels this opulent manage to be as personable as the Dorchester, which opened in 1939 and boasts a prime Park Lane location with unparalleled glamour." Full review
Time Out "A Park Lane fixture since 1931, the Dorchester is thoroughly, opulently classical." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The epitome of the glamorous luxury hotel, with an outrageously lavish lobby and a star-studded history, the Dorchester has revamped its tasteful floral bedrooms."
Star Service "Facing Hyde Park, this property continues to set the bar by which other five-star hotels measure themselves." Full review
Gayot "From the day it opened in 1931, The Dorchester was hailed as the most modern and luxurious hotel in London ... and it still is."
