"From the outside, The London Edition looks like a period Georgian hotel with its columned portico and intricate moldings." Full review

To be sure, The London Edition leaves its Georgian heritage at that door and sweeps you through its grand lobby bar to a minimalist black reception desk, lit with chunky candles.

"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

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
