“Number Sixteen feels less like a hotel and more like borrowing the chic London townhouse of a very stylish friend; the communal spaces, especially the garden and Orangery, are genuinely inviting. Its South Kensington location places you moments from the tube and within easy reach of the city's best museums, but the hotel's charm makes it tempting to stay put. I appreciate the individually designed rooms by Kit Kemp, lending a bespoke feel to each stay.”
