Rough Guide "Quirky guesthouse that manages to be both homely – thanks to some lovely period furniture – and chic; the rooms are huge."
Frommer's "The term home-from-home is bandied around all too frequently when hotels are discussed, but the Main House deserves the tag." Full review
Concierge "Thanks to posh ex-nightclub owner Caroline Main, you too can be a Notting Hill bohemian."
Fodor's "A stay in this delightfully welcoming B&B feels more like sleeping over at a friend's house than in a hotel—albeit a particularly wealthy and well-connected friend." Full review
DK Eyewitness "In the heart of Notting Hill, this chic guesthouse features airy suites – one per floor. The decor combines modern elements and antiques."
Travel + Leisure "Main House, named after owner Caroline Main, discreetly holds four suites in fashionable Notting Hill, each one occupying an entire floor of the upmarket Victorian townhouse." Full review

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."
