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

Michelin Guide

Frommer's

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

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."
