"An attractive Victorian townhouse in an elegant terrace."
Frommer's

"The very definition of shabby chic, the decor is half high-Victorian, half colonial, with claw-foot tubs and a great deal of red velvet."

"Still run by the family that opened it in 1910, this "elegant property very much like a private English home" is adjacent to Buckingham Palace."
Fodor's
"With Buckingham Palace just around the corner, this hotel, built in 1910 and now run by third-generation Gorings, has always been a favorite among discreet VIPs."
