"From the outside, The London Edition looks like a period Georgian hotel with its columned portico and intricate moldings." Full review

To be sure, The London Edition leaves its Georgian heritage at that door and sweeps you through its grand lobby bar to a minimalist black reception desk, lit with chunky candles.

"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

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
