Fodor's "An art deco town hall, abandoned in the early 1980s and turned into a chic hotel in 2010, is now a lively and stylish place, with the best of the building's elegant original features intact." Full review

"Rooms that are spacious, apartments that are downright sprawling, and services — not just a spa but an indoor pool as well — that would set you back thousands at the center of the city." Full review
Time Out "In 2010, a grand, Grade II-listed, early 20th-century town hall was transformed into a classy modern aparthotel – despite its location between a council estate and a scruffy row of shops." Full review
Insight Guides "The former Town Hall in Bethnal Green has been converted into guest rooms and apartments. Free Wi-fi, crisp styling and a pool in the basement."
Star Service "Marble floors and columns in the entranceway are traditional, but the furniture that stands atop it is decidedly modern and functional." Full review
Gayot "Few London hotels keep the original style of their old buildings, but Bethnal Green's Town Hall has retained the character and grandeur of its Edwardian origins."
Travel + Leisure "Furnishings are spare and clean-lined, a mixture of Midcentury reissues and new pieces designed by Rare principal Michel da Costa Gonçalves." Full review
Zagat "Bethnal Green’s former town hall houses this luxury hotel where cutting-edge design mixes with art deco and Edwardian details."
Wallpaper "A refreshingly succinct menu that's a solid testament to his flair for thoroughly crowd-pleasing dishes. Innovative concoctions include crispy fish skin with smoked cod and dill. " Full review

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."
