Michelin Guide "Unique and stylish, from the starkly modern lobby to the state-of-the-art bedrooms."
Insight Guides "Designed by Phillippe Starck, and still the most fashionable hotel in London."
Time Out "There’s still much to be impressed by: the all-white bedrooms have comfortable minimalism down to a T." Full review
DK Eyewitness "An outpost of New York-based Morgans Hotel Group, the St. Martins has been a flagship of the boutique-hotel wave, with eye-popping design by style guru Philippe Starck."
Star Service "Three blocks east of Leicester Square and three blocks west of Covent Garden , this hotel is operated by the trusted Morgans Hotel Group although it has different owners." Full review

The custom-built entertainment centers house flat-screen plasma TVs, CD players, and both DVD players and VCRs. More than 1,500 movies can be requested from the hotel's library.
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 "Designer Philippe Starck is the mind behind this hip Ian Schrager luxury hotel in the West End, where the minimalist white quarters can be personalised with ambient mood lighting."
Lonely Planet "A slice of New York urban chic just a stone’s throw from Covent Garden, this Philippe Starck–designed hotel is so cool you’d hardly notice it was there."
Jetsetter "A super-cool stay at a newly redesigned, five-star in London's Theater District, with breakfast included." Full review

"A meticulously renovated 111-room, five-story Edwardian town house hotel (formerly the Grosvenor Kensington) close to the South Kensington tube station." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "The Ampersand Hotel draws on its South Ken locale: bird sketches that could have flown from the Natural History Museum, and musical motifs that riff on the Royal Albert Hall." Full review
Time Out "The plush and tastefully decorated rooms are pretty smooth alright, with even slicker amenities that range from L’Occitane toiletries to an excellent en suite bathroom. " Full review
Frommer's "In August of 2012, this grand hotel from 1888 was given a makeover that’s both sassy and reverently British, and now it’s got its cool back for the first time since Victoria." Full review
