Praise
Originally famed for its restaurant visited by Winston Churchill, Oscar Wilde, and even David Bowie, the now-luxury hotel blends tradition with modern hospitality through expertly restored architecture, premier dining options, and attentive concierge team.
Travel + Leisure, July 2024The rooms are massive and modern. High ceilings, marble bathrooms, and luxurious furniture are what make this feel like a slice of class from a spy novel.
Esquire, June 2024The look: Lavishly gilded rococo theatrics in the historic rooms, modern minimalism in others. Architects have brought the Georgian exterior inside by facing the guest room walls with large rectangles of pale Port- land stone, perfectly showcased by state-of-the-art lighting.
Condé Nast Traveler (US), October 2021Spanning over 3,251 sq ft, this suitably grand space on London's elegant Regent Street feels more like a private residence than a hotel room.
