"Many of the attractive rooms overlook a peaceful garden."
Concierge
"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

"A 13-bedroom Georgian townhouse hotel in Clerkenwell, with a cool cocktail lounge. Rooms range in size from “crash pad” to a large suite. Contemporary style and comfort."

"Long-awaited from the owners of The Zetter Hotel, this quirky old house in leafy Clerkenwell is just over the road from the mother ship and exceeds all expectations."
Afar Magazine
"In many ways, the Zetter Townhouse is the quintessential British hotel: quiet and unobtrusive from the outside, playful and witty within."
