Gayot "East London is now putting up a fight against the ever-crowded West End and beckoning visitors towards St Paul's Cathedral, the Tate Modern and One New Change."
Travel + Leisure "Built in Victorian times as a banking hall, the Threadneedles Hotel fits in with Financial District neighbors such as the Bank of England's headquarters." Full review
Zagat "A converted Victorian banking hall in the City houses this Marriott-affiliated boutique business hotel, which shows off the grandeur of its setting in spaces like the champagne lounge."
Lonely Planet "It’s wonderfully anonymous, though once through the doorway the grand circular lobby, furnished in a vaguely art-deco style and covered with a hand-painted glass dome, comes into view." Full review

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."
