Michelin Guide "Urbane and very British... with an illustrious past."
Concierge "Reopened in December 2005 after a $30 million–plus overhaul, its future is now as bright as its past."
Fodor's "Tongues wag, however, that even though it's one of the priciest of hotels, neither the interiors nor the service really add up the way they used to." Full review

"There’s an element of the theatrical in its studied Englishness; you’re helped out of your car by a doorman in a top hat, in front of a row of eleven Georgian townhouses in the middle of Mayfair." Full review
Time Out "Brown’s was opened in 1837 by James Brown, butler to Romantic poet, hedonist and freedom-fighter Lord Byron." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This historic hotel... has undergone extensive refurbishment, which respects its heritage while introducing contemporary furniture, British art, and the latest technology."
Insight Guides "A distinguished, very British hotel with 117 rooms and a smart Mayfair location. "
Star Service "Consistently ranks as one of the most quintessentially English hotels around: genteel, historical and service-oriented, and offering...a superb Afternoon Tea." Full review
Gayot "This collection of eleven Georgian townhouses, having undergone a sleek, £24 million refurbishment, remains a delightful, old-fashioned hotel with stained-glass windows and oak paneling."

"Downstairs, though, all bets are off, from the Dali-inspired red-lipped sofa to the glowing onyx Long Bar to the Agua Bathhouse, which crosses over into the Kubrickian all-white territory." Full review
Time Out "A noughties makeover by Philippe Starck and Denton Corker Marshall Architects turned the Grade II-listed Sanderson building... into a statement hotel." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The Sanderson’s witty decor – red lips sofa and a framed portrait that seems to hang in mid-air – is like a surreal stage set."
Star Service "Inside is an armada of unique, custom designer seating and theatrical lighting. This whimsical hotel may lack the freakish lighting of sibling St. Martins Lane but none of the drama. " Full review
Gayot "With over-the-top interiors designed by Philippe Starck, the property features some pretty extraordinary touches."
Travel + Leisure "Suka, the new Malaysian restaurant on site, was masterminded by New York’s Zak Pelaccio, and the 300-square-foot guest rooms feel surprisingly large." Full review
BlackBook "The 91 rooms have Louis XIV-inspired furniture and no internal walls (i.e., the loos are see-through)."
Zagat "Philippe Starck designed this luxury West End hotel in his signature contemporary style."
Lonely Planet "Liberace meets Philippe Starck in an 18th-century French bordello – and that's just the reception."
