Frommer's Review

Take an unbeatable location with sweeping views over the Green, add a Michelin-starred restaurant, throw in contemporary design by Terence Conran, and you have a hit on your hands. Conran has a knack for easygoing sophistication, and in The Fitzwilliam he uses clean lines and only a few neutral colors (white, beige, gray) throughout the public rooms and guest rooms. The beauty is in the detail here -- even the staff uniforms are custom-made by Irish designers Marc O'Neill and Cuan Hanly. Rooms are simply done in neutral tones with stripped-down furniture. Thornton's, the hotel restaurant, is very good, or you could try the more casual Citron, or linger over a pint at the Inn on the Green bar.

Facilities:
2 restaurants (French, international); bar; concierge; room service; babysitting; laundry/dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; foreign-currency exchange; roof garden

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
