Greg United States of America

Loved the location and bedroom. The cocktail bar was a lot of fun

Ruth United Kingdom

I liked the decor and quirkiness of the rooms. It was more interesting than staying in a standard hotel. The cocktails were also very delicious.

Sadie Costa Rica

Everything. The staff is very nice and pays attention to details. The room was unique and overall very nice. Their bar is also just absolutely fantastic.

Zoltan United Kingdom

Beautiful setting, delicious cocktails, and unbelievably lovely staff. Loved it all!

Lauren United Kingdom

The Zetter Townhouse is an oasis of historical luxury and individual quirkiness in a part of town otherwise devoted to corporate business. With its beautiful 18th-Century structure, its furnishings both enchant and are comfortable. The staff is polite and accommodating, and we enjoyed the entire week we spent there. The New Year’s Eve celebration was a special highlight. We thank everyone who made us welcome!
