Michelin Guide "World famous... lavishly appointed and luxurious rooms."
Concierge "One of the world's famous hotels... opened in 1906, and is quite as lovely as it was in its first heyday—thanks largely to more than ten years of sympathetic private ownership."
Time Out "If you like the idea of a world where jeans and trainers are banned and jackets must be worn by gentlemen when dining (the requirement is waived for breakfast), the Ritz is for you." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A byword for pampering luxury since it opened in 1906, the Ritz continues to win awards for superior all-round service."
Star Service "The Ritz's clientele is composed of a comic, age-old dichotomy of jet-setting billionaires and splurging romantics. " Full review
Gayot "Built in 1906 by César Ritz, The Ritz London stands proud as the bastion of grand luxury and opulence."
Travel + Leisure "Designed in a French-chateau style and opened in 1906, The Ritz London neighbors Green Park and Buckingham Palace." Full review

Michelin Guide "A converted bank... with a stunning stained-glass cupola in the lounge."
Frommer's "The boutique business hotel par excellence... this converted Victorian bank radiates all the grandeur and solidity of the City." Full review
Fodor's "Given the location, it's no surprise that this place looks as if it were custom-designed to please business travelers." Full review
Time Out "Threadneedles boldly slots some contemporary style into a fusty old dame of a building, formerly the grand Victorian HQ of the Midland Bank." Full review
Gayot "East London is now putting up a fight against the ever-crowded West End and beckoning visitors towards St Paul's Cathedral, the Tate Modern and One New Change."
Travel + Leisure "Built in Victorian times as a banking hall, the Threadneedles Hotel fits in with Financial District neighbors such as the Bank of England's headquarters." Full review
Zagat "A converted Victorian banking hall in the City houses this Marriott-affiliated boutique business hotel, which shows off the grandeur of its setting in spaces like the champagne lounge."
Lonely Planet "It’s wonderfully anonymous, though once through the doorway the grand circular lobby, furnished in a vaguely art-deco style and covered with a hand-painted glass dome, comes into view." Full review
OysterLuxury
