The well-lit hallways are long, and some guest rooms are quite a hike from the common areas (request rooms near elevators).
Gayot "This imposing hotel plays host to corporate guests and many in the legal profession, due to its proximity to the law courts around the corner."
Condé Nast Traveler "The 306 rooms have that same sense of grandeur, with silky faux-fur throws on the beds and cut-glass flasks of complimentary whiskey in the suites." Full review

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.

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."
