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."

"Designed by Allies and Morrison of London and aimed at business travelers, interiors are lined with luxe materials in sober colors... and jazzed up with colorful furniture and clever lighting." Full review
Gayot "This centrally located, 80-room hotel resides close to busy Moorgate and Liverpool Street metro stations."
BlackBook "From the conspirators behind the late Great Eastern Hotel (now an Andaz), South Place Hotel is set to be a magnet for East London's most unfailingly hip."
Zagat "Conran-designed interiors and notable eating and drinking options are highlights of this hip City hotel (the first from restaurateurs D&D London)."
OysterLuxury
"This hip boutique hotel owned by the high-profile D D restaurant group exudes stylish luxury, with impeccable design elements and dark, sexy public spaces." Full review
Afar Magazine "Business at the front, party at the back: that’s the ethos behind this hotel, which opened in London’s financial district in 2012." Full review
Time Out "D&D runs some of the swankiest restaurants in London, so much was expected of its first hotel. South Place delivers." Full review
Jetsetter "Hip design hotel near London's East End, with local artwork and a showstopping rooftop restaurant." Full review
Wallpaper "Drawing on those qualities that put London ahead of the game in the global hotel scene, South Place fuses designer dining, art and a great night's sleep." Full review
