Frommer's Review
This is London's premier town-house hotel, a bastion of elegance and discretion. Set behind a facade of gray stone with neoclassical details, this structure, only 45m (148 ft.) from Piccadilly Circus, was built in 1870 for English gentlemen doing business in London. The Togna family has been in charge since 1915. The place was radically renovated in 1990, and 22 Jermyn has reveled in its role as a chic, upscale boutique hotel ever since. It offers an interior filled with greenery and the kind of art you might find in an elegant private home. The sixth floor features one of the best-equipped computer centers in London, which guests may use for free. This hotel doesn't have the bar or restaurant facilities of the Stafford or Dukes, but its refurbished rooms are more richly appointed in the traditional English style.
Facilities:
Access to nearby health club and spa; 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.
