Michelin Guide
"World famous... lavishly appointed and luxurious rooms."
Concierge
"One of the world's famous hotels... opened in 1906, and is quite as lovely as it was in its first heyday—thanks largely to more than ten years of sympathetic private ownership."
Time Out
"If you like the idea of a world where jeans and trainers are banned and jackets must be worn by gentlemen when dining (the requirement is waived for breakfast), the Ritz is for you."

DK Eyewitness
"A byword for pampering luxury since it opened in 1906, the Ritz continues to win awards for superior all-round service."
Star Service
"The Ritz's clientele is composed of a comic, age-old dichotomy of jet-setting billionaires and splurging romantics. "

Rough Guide
"A fixture on Clerkenwell’s laidback hipster scene. Rooms are simple but bold, with colourful panache and lots of eco touches."
Michelin Guide
"A trendy and discreet converted 19C warehouse with well-equipped bedrooms that come with pleasant touches, such as Penguin paperbacks."
Frommer's
"It was only a matter of time before a hotel blended the edgy Shoreditch scene with the creature comforts demanded by City types."

Ask for a room at the rear of the hotel -- they back onto a quiet square.
Concierge
"Almost best of all, the rates are (for London) way low."
Fodor's
"The dizzying five-story atrium, Art Deco staircase, and slick European restaurant hint at the delights to come in this converted warehouse."
