"This hotel, once a mediocre Hilton, has improved immensely under Langham's Hong Kong owners, as it should given its bloodlines as London's first purpose-built hotel." Full review
"Oscar Wilde and Mark Twain were once guests, and it's still one of London's premium five-star hotels."
"The 380-room Victorian-era landmark... has recently been restored to its storied grandeur and brought into the 21st century with flat-screen TVs and wireless Internet in every room." Full review

"A delightful little hideaway in trendy Clerkenwell. It’s as charming as can be."
"A row of charmingly restored 18C houses. Wood panelling, stone-flagged flooring, open fires and antique furniture."
"Don't expect bellhops or a concierge—come here for the excellent location in one of the most evocative, Dickensian parts of London."
"An absolutely unique and beautiful 1725 town house, the Rookery is the kind of place where you want to allow quality time to enjoy and soak up the atmosphere." Full review
"Sister hotel to Hazlitt’s, the Rookery has long been something of a celebrity hideaway deep in Clerkenwell." Full review
"Occupying six Georgian houses and stores... this Dickensian hideaway retains many original features, such as flagstone floors in the hall and ceiling beams in some of the rooms."
"To that end, a row of Georgian houses in a narrow lane have been turned into a little gem of a hotel; it is creaky and quaint and feels as if it's been around forever."
"Quirky, eccentric, and laden with a sense of the antique, the Rookery is a great choice for travelers who want a hotel with the atmosphere of Dickens' or Dr. Johnson's London." Full review
"Think wood fires and honour code open bar. Temptation incarnate."
8.0
"A grown-up boutique hotel on a quiet Smithfield lane, with 33 quirky rooms decked out in 18th-century colours, with antiques, glowing wood and modernised mad plumbing." Full review
