DK Eyewitness "This long-established town house hotel near Green Park has won a slew of awards and spends more than £1 million a year keeping up its refined period-style interior."
Gayot "Having undergone a £6 million renovation, this hotel's first-floor reception, lounges, guest rooms and restaurant emerged looking sleeker and sexier than ever."
