Frommer's Review
Just east of Covent Garden, this government-rated five-star hotel occupies a 1907 building that served as headquarters for the now-defunct Morning Post. Today guests enjoy an artfully simple layout that includes stylish minimalist furniture, big bay windows, masses of flowers, and lots of contemporary art. The bedrooms are sumptuous, decorated with elegant linens and rich colors, and accessorized with raw-silk curtains and deluxe furnishings. There are original works of art in every room, along with fresh fruit and flowers supplied daily. On Friday and Saturday evenings, and Sunday at brunch, movies are shown in the screening room.
Facilities:
2 restaurants; 3 bars; babysitting; concierge; state-of-the-art health club; pool (indoor); room service

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.
