Be warned: The signature Langham “Blissful Bed” may tempt you to sleep in, so request a wakeup call before lying down.
DK Eyewitness "The Langham was Europe’s first grand hotel when it opened in 1865 and still offers an ultraluxurious experience behind its sprawling Victorian facade."
Star Service "This hotel, once a mediocre Hilton, has improved immensely under Langham's Hong Kong owners, as it should given its bloodlines as London's first purpose-built hotel." Full review
Gayot "Oscar Wilde and Mark Twain were once guests, and it's still one of London's premium five-star hotels."
Travel + Leisure "The 380-room Victorian-era landmark... has recently been restored to its storied grandeur and brought into the 21st century with flat-screen TVs and wireless Internet in every room." Full review
BlackBook "Clearly one for those in search of hotels with years of history packed into every brick, and top quality service to boot."

Michelin Guide "Pure white bedrooms with idiosyncratic design touches such as a framed picture ... on the ceiling."
Frommer's "Travelers used to the sleek glitz of Manhattan design hotels will feel at home at the Sanderson." Full review
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 "Suka, the new Malaysian restaurant on site, was masterminded by New York’s Zak Pelaccio, and the 300-square-foot guest rooms feel surprisingly large." Full review
BlackBook "The 91 rooms have Louis XIV-inspired furniture and no internal walls (i.e., the loos are see-through)."
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."
