Michelin Guide "World famous... lavishly appointed and luxurious rooms."
Concierge "One of the world's famous hotels... opened in 1906, and is quite as lovely as it was in its first heyday—thanks largely to more than ten years of sympathetic private ownership."
Time Out "If you like the idea of a world where jeans and trainers are banned and jackets must be worn by gentlemen when dining (the requirement is waived for breakfast), the Ritz is for you." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A byword for pampering luxury since it opened in 1906, the Ritz continues to win awards for superior all-round service."
Star Service "The Ritz's clientele is composed of a comic, age-old dichotomy of jet-setting billionaires and splurging romantics. " Full review

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
Time Out "It remains a pleasingly unpretentious place, with a more civilised demeanour than its legend might suggest." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This long-running, popular hotel combines Victorian coziness with sumptous extravagance in its individually decorated bedrooms."
Gayot "Two elegant, six-story Victorian terrace houses have melded together into an eclectic hotel that serves as a magnet for visiting rock and movie stars."
Travel + Leisure "This Neoclassical mansion hotel may feel more like a posh home than a hotel, but its hassle-free ambience draws an eclectic smattering of musicians, models, poets, writers, and actors." Full review
Zagat "This hip Notting Hill boutique hotel has a reputation as a celebrity hideaway, and its individually designed rooms are suitably dramatic."
Lonely Planet "This splendidly located, 21-room property has been a firm favourite with rock and rollers and movie stars down the decades." Full review
