“A grand dame of a hotel, this five star icon has been welcoming guests to elegant rooms & suites with carved wooden beds, rich textiles & 12ft ceilings since 1883. Famous afternoon teas & gourmet fare are a highlight — as is the superb central location. A classic stay for business or leisure.”

The Hotel Windsor - Hotel Review
"A hallowed, occasionally creaky, old dame, one that’s played host to everyone from Harry Houdini to Metallica. It pleases with its old-fashioned charm and architectural grace, generously sized rooms and kindly service, despite being betwixt and between a former grandeur and a total makeover in 2020."
