Fodor's "An art deco town hall, abandoned in the early 1980s and turned into a chic hotel in 2010, is now a lively and stylish place, with the best of the building's elegant original features intact." Full review

"Striking design mixes Edwardian influences with 1930s art deco style and contemporary touches." Full review
Time Out "In 2010, a grand, Grade II-listed, early 20th-century town hall was transformed into a classy modern aparthotel – despite its location between a council estate and a scruffy row of shops." Full review
Insight Guides "The former Town Hall in Bethnal Green has been converted into guest rooms and apartments. Free Wi-fi, crisp styling and a pool in the basement."
Star Service "Marble floors and columns in the entranceway are traditional, but the furniture that stands atop it is decidedly modern and functional." Full review
Gayot "Few London hotels keep the original style of their old buildings, but Bethnal Green's Town Hall has retained the character and grandeur of its Edwardian origins."

Insight Guides "Deluxe hotel overlooking Hyde Park Corner. The stately neoclassical facade of the former St George’s hospital complements the opulent Regency-style interior."
Star Service "Remains one of the permanent members on London's short list of stellar hotels, a blend of the traditional sophistication of the Dorchester with the consummate service and amenities of the Four Seasons." Full review
Gayot "This hotel is noted for having all the latest high-tech gadgetry --- cleverly concealed within a sea of mahogany furnishings."
Travel + Leisure "A Georgian-style building overlooking Hyde Park, the Lanesborough maintains the elegance of an 18th-century private residence." Full review

"The Lanesborough is one of the city’s most regal hotels, not to mention an ideal base for exploring nearby Hyde Park, Piccadilly and Knightsbridge." Full review
Star Service "Built in 1828 and located in the swankiest area of London, opposite Hyde Park and a 10-minute walk from Harrodshis Regency gem has been comprehensively and meticulously refurbished." Full review
