Fodor's "An art deco town hall, abandoned in the early 1980s and turned into a chic hotel in 2010, is now a lively and stylish place, with the best of the building's elegant original features intact." Full review

"Striking design mixes Edwardian influences with 1930s art deco style and contemporary touches." Full review

"Rooms that are spacious, apartments that are downright sprawling, and services — not just a spa but an indoor pool as well — that would set you back thousands at the center of the city." Full review
Time Out "In 2010, a grand, Grade II-listed, early 20th-century town hall was transformed into a classy modern aparthotel – despite its location between a council estate and a scruffy row of shops." Full review
Insight Guides "The former Town Hall in Bethnal Green has been converted into guest rooms and apartments. Free Wi-fi, crisp styling and a pool in the basement."
Star Service "Marble floors and columns in the entranceway are traditional, but the furniture that stands atop it is decidedly modern and functional." Full review
Gayot "Few London hotels keep the original style of their old buildings, but Bethnal Green's Town Hall has retained the character and grandeur of its Edwardian origins."
Travel + Leisure "Furnishings are spare and clean-lined, a mixture of Midcentury reissues and new pieces designed by Rare principal Michel da Costa Gonçalves." Full review
Zagat "Bethnal Green’s former town hall houses this luxury hotel where cutting-edge design mixes with art deco and Edwardian details."
Wallpaper "A refreshingly succinct menu that's a solid testament to his flair for thoroughly crowd-pleasing dishes. Innovative concoctions include crispy fish skin with smoked cod and dill. " Full review

Rough Guide "Dripping with history, it’s as glamorous can be, with amazing decor throughout, classic bars... a Gordon Ramsay restaurant and gorgeously comfortable rooms."
Michelin Guide "Reopened in 2010 following a 3 year restoration, its luxurious bedrooms and stunning suites come in an Edwardian or art deco style."
Concierge "The part-Edwardian, part–Art Deco building on the Strand in central London is an ideal spot to stay when in town for sightseeing."
Fodor's "One of London's most famous hotels has emerged from a £220 million renovation, and the old girl is looking like a superstar again." Full review

"This was, after all, the original luxury hotel, or at very least the original London luxury hotel, a hotel whose influence is positively Beatlesque, if you’ll forgive the comparison." Full review
Time Out "Loved by generations of visitors for its discreet mix of Edwardian neo-classical and art deco." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This legendary hotel was an afterthought. Richard D’Oyly Carte capitalized on the success of his Savoy Theatre by providing a place to stay."
Star Service "Most guests looking for something special should opt for river-view suites or rooms with the unobstructed views of the Thames, London Eye, Parliament and Big Ben. " Full review
Gayot "Situated close to both the city and the West End... The Savoy enjoys a spectacular position facing the Thames and overlooking Embankment Gardens."
Travel + Leisure "When the Savoy opened in the heart of the theater district in 1889, it introduced many hotel firsts: the use of electricity, en-suite bathrooms, and elevators." Full review
