Michelin Guide "It was the original site of the Playboy Club and has been a car showroom but now 45 Park Lane has been reborn as The Dorchester's sister hotel."
Tablet20.0
"It somehow never feels overly opulent — it’s certainly far from shabby-chic, but 45 Park Lane makes outsize luxury feel just about perfectly pitched." Full review
Star Service "It is the little sister of the nearby classically grand Dorchester hotel, which it relies on for some luxury frills and backup facilities." Full review
Gayot "With the opening of 45 Park Lane, the Dorchester Collection offers upscale travelers the ninth property in its portfolio of luxury hotels."
Travel + Leisure "The Thierry Despont-designed 45 Park Lane, located across the street from its older sibling the Dorchester, opened in the summer of 2011 as a more intimate and modern version of its glitzier neighbor." Full review
BlackBook "This swish new Mayfair destination boasts the stylistic acumen of star designer Thierry W.Despont, with cerused mahogany and camel-hued suede lending it a vaguely masculine air."
Forbes Travel Guide 4 Stars

But only the most perverse architectural fetishist would choose a hotel for its facade; more relevant is the fact that the public spaces are just chic enough without screaming for attention, and the rooms are minimalist without seeming cheap, with large beds and plush furniture making up for their (London-standard) less than palatial size.
Time Out "You only have to push through the front door and enter the breathtaking Lobby Bar to know that you’re in for a treat." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A grand contemporary hotel in former Edwardian newspaper offices. Impressive details include original art and tarazzo-stone bathrooms with heated floors and mini TVs."
Insight Guides "Smart and stylish, One Aldwych has an excellent location a stone’s throw from theatreland and Covent Garden."
Star Service "Adjacent to the Strand, near the foot of Waterloo Bridge and next door to the Lyceum Theatre, around the corner from the more commercial Waldorf Hilton, this location couldn't be better." Full review
