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."

Michelin Guide "Two Victorian houses with open, modern lobby and secluded, south-facing garden terrace. Bedrooms come in bold, warm colours; 'Garden Rooms' have their own patios."
Frommer's "Proof that London high style doesn't always come with a high price tag... All are bright and airy with large windows and simple lines, but we prefer the garden units with their own private patios." Full review
Concierge "Outside, there's little to distinguish this white stucco Victorian from the many downscale hotels along this none-too-beautiful stretch of Cromwell Road, but inside, it's instant cheer."
Fodor's "Despite being on the notoriously traffic-clogged Cromwell Road, this excellent little place is one of the best boutique hotels in this part of London." Full review
Lonely Planet "With an understated-cool design ethos, things are muted, dapper and more than a tad minimalist at 'budget boutique' 40-room Rockwell." Full review
Time Out "The Rockwell aims for relaxed contemporary elegance – and succeeds magnificently." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Housed in a beautifully restored Victorian terrace, The Rockwell is owned by an architect, and it shows in the stunning decor and the glass bridge that links the hotel to its courtyard garden."
Travel + Leisure "The epitome of understated chic, the Rockwell welcomes guests in a cozy reception lounge outfitted with an elegant library, vibrant flowers and even a kids' playing area." Full review
BlackBook "Look no further than the Rockwell if you are seeking out cozy lux hotel for your stay in London."
Zagat "Set inside converted townhouses in South Kensington, this high-end boutique hotel offers contemporary rooms and split-level suites."
