Frommer's Review
This deluxe hostelry has captured the imagination of glamour-mongers the world over ever since it was inaugurated by Princess Alexandra in 1970. Its clientele includes heads of state, superstars, and top business execs. It's located opposite its major competitors, the London Hilton and the Inter-Continental, but has better food, better rooms, and more style and refinement than either of its rivals. Inside, acres of superbly crafted paneling and opulent but conservative decor create the impression that the hotel is far older than it is. The guest rooms are large and beautifully outfitted with well-chosen chintz, reproductions, plush upholstery, and dozens of well-concealed electronic extras. Most rooms are medium size, although some are quite large.
