Michelin Guide "Now back to its best, with its famous Palm Court for afternoon tea, the stylish Artesian bar and bedrooms that are not without personality and elegance."
DK Eyewitness "The Langham was Europe’s first grand hotel when it opened in 1865 and still offers an ultraluxurious experience behind its sprawling Victorian facade."
Star Service "This hotel, once a mediocre Hilton, has improved immensely under Langham's Hong Kong owners, as it should given its bloodlines as London's first purpose-built hotel." Full review
Gayot "Oscar Wilde and Mark Twain were once guests, and it's still one of London's premium five-star hotels."

BlackBook "Clearly one for those in search of hotels with years of history packed into every brick, and top quality service to boot."
Zagat "A few blocks from Oxford and Bond Street shopping, this chic Marylebone grande dame has hosted everyone from heads of state to celebs to corporate suits since opening in 1865."

Michelin Guide "Unique and stylish, from the starkly modern lobby to the state-of-the-art bedrooms."
Insight Guides "Designed by Phillippe Starck, and still the most fashionable hotel in London."

"Starck’s trademark irreverence may not look as novel as it did a few years ago, but it certainly sets a tone, quite a contrast to the English urban-country-house norm." Full review
Time Out "There’s still much to be impressed by: the all-white bedrooms have comfortable minimalism down to a T." Full review
DK Eyewitness "An outpost of New York-based Morgans Hotel Group, the St. Martins has been a flagship of the boutique-hotel wave, with eye-popping design by style guru Philippe Starck."
Star Service "Three blocks east of Leicester Square and three blocks west of Covent Garden , this hotel is operated by the trusted Morgans Hotel Group although it has different owners." Full review

The custom-built entertainment centers house flat-screen plasma TVs, CD players, and both DVD players and VCRs. More than 1,500 movies can be requested from the hotel's library.
Gayot "This superbly trendy choice stay is the product of Philippe Starck, who transformed what was a soulless, '60s shell into a vast, very-twenty-first-century refuge."
BlackBook "At night, the five-star hotel lights up into individual chambers of different colors, making it very easy to see and yearn to stay at."
Zagat "Designer Philippe Starck is the mind behind this hip Ian Schrager luxury hotel in the West End, where the minimalist white quarters can be personalised with ambient mood lighting."
Lonely Planet "A slice of New York urban chic just a stone’s throw from Covent Garden, this Philippe Starck–designed hotel is so cool you’d hardly notice it was there."
