"It was at L'Hotel that the great Oscar Wilde died in 1900. The atypical, aesthetic decor, updated by Jacques Garcia, still manages to pay homage to artistic pomp and splendour."

"Appealing red awnings greet guests who enter this hotel through a small reception area, where a whimsical oil painting of a woman in a dashing feathered red cap gazes down as you check in."
Frommer's
"Decidedly British in décor and atmosphere, the immaculate, soundproofed rooms are comfortably and conservatively furnished, with gentle swags of drapery hanging over the bed and windows. " Full review
