"This was, after all, the original luxury hotel, or at very least the original London luxury hotel, a hotel whose influence is positively Beatlesque, if you’ll forgive the comparison." Full review
Time Out "Loved by generations of visitors for its discreet mix of Edwardian neo-classical and art deco." Full review
