“Here's my take. Its Westminster location puts guests within minutes of Buckingham Palace, but the feeling is more private club than tourist hub. I especially like the sound of those residences: fully-fitted kitchens and terraces are a real find in central London. Plus, the hotel's commitment to sustainability feels very current.”
