Michelin Guide "Pure white bedrooms with idiosyncratic design touches such as a framed picture ... on the ceiling."

"Downstairs, though, all bets are off, from the Dali-inspired red-lipped sofa to the glowing onyx Long Bar to the Agua Bathhouse, which crosses over into the Kubrickian all-white territory." Full review
Time Out "A noughties makeover by Philippe Starck and Denton Corker Marshall Architects turned the Grade II-listed Sanderson building... into a statement hotel." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The Sanderson’s witty decor – red lips sofa and a framed portrait that seems to hang in mid-air – is like a surreal stage set."
Star Service "Inside is an armada of unique, custom designer seating and theatrical lighting. This whimsical hotel may lack the freakish lighting of sibling St. Martins Lane but none of the drama. " Full review
Gayot "With over-the-top interiors designed by Philippe Starck, the property features some pretty extraordinary touches."
Travel + Leisure "Suka, the new Malaysian restaurant on site, was masterminded by New York’s Zak Pelaccio, and the 300-square-foot guest rooms feel surprisingly large." Full review
BlackBook "The 91 rooms have Louis XIV-inspired furniture and no internal walls (i.e., the loos are see-through)."
Zagat "Philippe Starck designed this luxury West End hotel in his signature contemporary style."
Lonely Planet "Liberace meets Philippe Starck in an 18th-century French bordello – and that's just the reception."

Michelin Guide "One of London's most famous hotels... retaining an elegant British feel."
Frommer's "Traditionalists opt for the Old Wing but we prefer the New Wing -- it's where the Connaught's mix of the old and new is most successful." Full review
Concierge "For those who enjoy being pampered, the staff-to-guest ratio of 3:1 ensures service with all the trimmings."
Fodor's "A huge favorite of the "we wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else" monied set since its opening in 1917, the Connaught has many dazzlingly modern compliments to its famously historic delights." Full review
Lonely Planet "The Connaught's impeccably decorated rooms offer refined luxury, combining the period features of its 1897 building with restrained contemporary furniture and art." Full review

"The Connaught is just one of a fraternity of clubby old grand hotels, any one of which would be by some distance the top hotel in just about any other town." Full review
Time Out "This isn’t the only hotel in London to provide butlers, but there can’t be many that offer ‘a secured gun cabinet room’ for hunting season." Full review
DK Eyewitness "One of Mayfair’s historic grand hotels, the Connaught has undergone an imaginative renovation, combining its historic features with contemporary gadgets and refined modern design."
Star Service "In the heart of Mayfair, near Grosvenor Square and overlooking Carlos Place, in a historic brick building abloom with flowers, this hotel is as British as the Union Jack." Full review
Gayot "Quintessential Englishness is the signature of this top London hotel."
