Fodor's Review:

This is a rare find: a posh hotel that is equal parts elegance and friendliness. It's hard to check in without meeting the gregarious manager, and his unshakable cheeriness must be infectious, for the staff are also upbeat and helpful. The location is one of the few peaceful spots in the area, down a small lane behind Piccadilly. Its 13 adorable carriage-house rooms are installed in the 18th-century stable block; each individually decorated room has a cobbled mews entrance and gas-fueled fireplace, exposed beams, iPod dock, and CD player. The popular little American Bar has ties, baseball caps, and toy planes hanging from a ceiling modeled, presumably, on New York's 21 Club. Pros: great staff; big, luxurious rooms; quiet location. Cons: traditional decor is not to all tastes; the bar is tiny.

Subtle but very comfortable small hotel tucked away behind the Ritz. You feel like a guest rather than a customer here with well-trained staff & a good restaurant. Tea may be taken while lounging on comfortable sofas. A very nice home away from home where you are definitely welcomed - and remembered.
