Frommer's
"Few hotels have the time-honored experience of "the Dorch," which has maintained a tradition of fine comfort and cuisine since it opened in 1931."

"Like its sisters, the Meurice and Plaza Athénée in Paris and the Beverly Hills Hotel in L.A., this is as grand as a hotel gets."
Fodor's
"Few hotels this opulent manage to be as personable as the Dorchester, which opened in 1939 and boasts a prime Park Lane location with unparalleled glamour."

Rough Guide
"Quirky guesthouse that manages to be both homely – thanks to some lovely period furniture – and chic; the rooms are huge."
Frommer's
"The term home-from-home is bandied around all too frequently when hotels are discussed, but the Main House deserves the tag."

Concierge
"Thanks to posh ex-nightclub owner Caroline Main, you too can be a Notting Hill bohemian."
Fodor's
"A stay in this delightfully welcoming B&B feels more like sleeping over at a friend's house than in a hotel—albeit a particularly wealthy and well-connected friend."
