"An attractive Victorian townhouse in an elegant terrace."
Frommer's
"The quintessential Portobello Hotel tale is the night that Kate Moss and Johnny Depp allegedly took a champagne bath here. It sums up the hotel -- glamorous, bubbly, and expensive."

Since windows are not double-glazed, request a room in the quiet rear.
Concierge
"The very definition of shabby chic, the decor is half high-Victorian, half colonial, with claw-foot tubs and a great deal of red velvet."
Fodor's
"One of London's quirkiest hotels, the little Portobello... is seriously hip, attracting scores of celebrities to its small but stylish rooms that are decorated with joyous abandon."

Time Out
"It remains a pleasingly unpretentious place, with a more civilised demeanour than its legend might suggest."

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."
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."

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."

"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."
