OVERVIEW

Aristocratic Mayfair is home to London's most glamorous grande dame which wows with art deco decor, a fashionable attitude and an effortless air of refinement.

PRACTICAL INFO

Location

Claridge’s is located in Mayfair - one of the most exclusive districts of London and on Brook Street - one of its most desirable and historic addresses. Its elegant seven storeys are within easy walking distance of the chic shopping on Bond Street, art galleries and auction houses, and the leafy acres of both Green and Hyde Parks. And with the West End, the City, and major travel links all equally accessible, Claridge’s is the perfect base from which to explore all that London has to offer. Mayfair is a playground for lovers of the arts. Cultural attractions within an easy stroll include the Gagosian and Cork Street galleries. Or jump in a cab to the English National Opera, a 10-minute ride away. If you prefer to browse luxury goods, make a beeline for Selfridges.

Accomodation

Claridge's is the luxurious art deco jewel of London. All 203 bedrooms and suites boast the latest in communications and entertainment technology. All guests can enjoy free WiFi and pampering Bamford toiletries, along with royal treatment from attentive staff. Rooms are a compliment to anyone who is tasteful enough to book them. Queen Victoria and the Empress Eugenie were fans, as is Anna Wintour, who stays here during each Fashion Week, and Queen Elizabeth, who lunches in the royal suite once a year. Some prefer the Deco rooms, others the more traditional English country house ones, still others the ones designed top to bottom by Diane von Furstenburg. The bathrooms with soaking tubs and showers will quite baffle you with the complexity of nozzles.

Services

Tea is served in silver teapots and gold-rimmed bone china, alongside the best scones in all of London. The hotel has entered the post–Gordon Ramsay era with a restaurant with a restaurant by Simon Rogan whose style is the intensely local and insanely fresh fare served by the likes of Copenhagen’s Noma.The staff here is immaculately groomed, classically attired, ever so discreet and treat you with the courteous familiarity accorded to a regular. Claridge's Bar offers a convivial and relaxed meeting place, whilst the Fumoir serves fine wines and champagnes served in Lalique crystal. State-of-the-art Claridge's Beauty and Fitness features a range of luxurious beauty treatments and an impressive gymnasium.
