The Top Hotels in London: 2025 Readers’ Choice Awards | Condé Nast Traveler

"Resurrecting a neglected Edwardian pile and helping put Holborn back on the map, this hotel makes even its entrances and exits fun as you skip across an expansive cobblestone courtyard formerly used for horse-drawn carriages, a reminder of the grand origins. The vibe is unrestrained luxury for traditional taste buds: communal spaces are all marble and mahogany with a neutral color palette, and the crowd is a mature, tasteful set with plenty of cash to spare. There are four restaurants, but the one meal you really shouldn’t miss is that quintessentially British dish, a pie, consumed on a plump red banquette seat in the Holborn Dining Room." - CNT Editors
