Rough Guide "A dash of five-star Italian designer cool... service is impeccable."
Michelin Guide "Bold and ornate... Stylish bedrooms have a masculine feel and boast impressive facilities."
Frommer's "Arguably West London's chicest address, Baglioni, part of the Italian hotel chain, is the personification of la dolce vita in London." Full review
Oyster4.0
"This boutique hotel offers an excellent location on the southwest tip of Hyde Park overlooking Kensington Gardens." Full review
Time Out "Occupying a mansion opposite Kensington Palace and offering a butler on each floor and a chauffeur-driven Maserati, the Baglioni is certainly luxurious." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Despite its self-declared status as one of London’s hottest spots, this is a solidly pleasant hotel for anyone who wants to do a lot of shopping." Full review
Star Service "This glossy four-star boutique-hotel is an Italian version of the more traditional Milestone one block away, more avant-garde than avuncular, swankier and sexier than its prim and proper neighbor." Full review
Gayot "Unlike many of London's five-star properties, the Baglioni does not need to scream its grandeur to the world, but it will shout it out once guests set foot in the door."
Zagat "This outpost of the luxury Italian hotel chain is filled with opulent details such as Murano glass chandeliers in public areas and handmade Moroccan copper sinks in the guestrooms."
The Infatuation "There isn’t much happening on High Street Ken in terms of bars, but if you need an option because The Piano bar is too busy, or you’ve just finished a dinner date nearby, then a vodka..." Full review

"The London hotel scene these days is all flash interiors and decadent comforts, a sort of arms race of bold design and lavish luxuries." Full review
i
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
