Expert reviews

Lonely Planet review:

“A hip, design-led boutique hotel, South Place impresses at every turn. From the art-filled lobby and espionage-inspired theme to the Michelin-starred seafood restaurant and 80 beautifully laid-out rooms – every detail has been carefully considered.”

Frommers review:

“Plugged-in, stylish, and sexy: That’s the crowd this hotel goes for, and you’ll feel that way, too. The first hotel to be built from the ground up in the Square Mile for a century, every inch was run through the design filter, and much of the art was commissioned by celebrated contemporary artists.”

Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in London.

Telegraph review:

“A colourful rupture from the dour City streets, especially on a rainy commuter day. Sip a gin cocktail among the palm fronds in the Secret Garden bar; dine on turbot in dashi broth at the Michelin-starred restaurant; and bed down in a room with rain showers bigger than the average kitchen.”

comfortable but not good enough to get 10 out of 10 due to some tardy details

very comfortable great location

electronic controls didn’t all work in bedroom, could not shut blind. bar shut 10pm when I arrived 9.30am. to be fair staff were helpful but shutting at 10pm to residents is a poor policy for an expensive City hotel

Great, but a couple of minor niggles

Everything, we were there for my nieces 30th Birthday party, everything was good.

Second glass of champagne served in the restaurant was definitely not chilled, just below room temperature. There was no draught beer available as all the pumps were broke, REALLY 5 star hotel.

Great location, cleanliness and great staff

We really enjoyed our 10 night stay at the hotel. The staff were friendly and would tend to any request put to them, additionally, the room was very clean as it was cleaned twice a day. The location was great for us as it was very central yet not too busy.

Nothing to mention here

Overall quite pleased but wasn't sure it was worth the amount I spent - wasn't amazing

Room was clean, hotel in general was really nice and staff were always helpful and polite

I booked a superior king size room but I'm sure bed was only double - it was smaller than I was expecting. Also I think for price there should have been more facilities other than steam room and sauna from a 'spa' perspective. We left the do not disturb sign on the door so room didnt get cleaned which was fine but we did ask at Reception for coffee and shower gels to be replenished when the hotel attendant was due to come in later that evening but that wasn't done

Relaxed luxury in quiet central location.

Modern, relaxed and comfortable. Nice size, not too big and anonymous

Great location, but quite tricky to find at first, as entrance is on the side, off Liverpool St.

Very good

The room was fantastic, however I arrived late, around midnight, and arranging a sandwich to room service took some chasers and almost 45 minute instead of the 10 promised. When it sandwich arrived, it was clear it had been made for quite a few hours, so how it took so long to bring it up is beyond me. That said, it didnt impair my stay, which despite brief was extremely comfortable and i could have wished for nothing else.
