“I found its soul in blending seven townhouses into one, a Victorian vision updated with contemporary grace; the staff anticipates every need, from a perfect cocktail to insightful concierge tips. Its location, a stroll from museums and Hyde Park, is just right, and the townhouse feel makes one feel more like a resident than a guest. It's an excellent place to experience London.”
