Time Out
"A noughties makeover by Philippe Starck and Denton Corker Marshall Architects turned the Grade II-listed Sanderson building... into a statement hotel."

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. "

Time Out
"Considered one of London’s more historic luxury hotels, the Lanesborough was in fact redeveloped – impressively – only in 1991."

Insight Guides
"Deluxe hotel overlooking Hyde Park Corner. The stately neoclassical facade of the former St George’s hospital complements the opulent Regency-style interior."
Star Service
"Remains one of the permanent members on London's short list of stellar hotels, a blend of the traditional sophistication of the Dorchester with the consummate service and amenities of the Four Seasons."

5 Stars
"The Lanesborough is one of the city’s most regal hotels, not to mention an ideal base for exploring nearby Hyde Park, Piccadilly and Knightsbridge."

Star Service
"Built in 1828 and located in the swankiest area of London, opposite Hyde Park and a 10-minute walk from Harrodshis Regency gem has been comprehensively and meticulously refurbished."
