Stepping through the revolving doors of Claridge’s is like stepping into a flawlessly preserved era of roaring 1920s glamour. Located in the prestigious heart of Mayfair, this Art Deco masterpiece is so deeply intertwined with British high society that it is affectionately known as the "annexe to Buckingham Palace." From the signature checkerboard marble lobby floor to the sweeping staircase, Claridge's is the absolute epitome of timeless English elegance.
Bespoke Suites & Timeless Glamour
The hotel offers 268 beautifully appointed rooms and suites, heavily influenced by its Art Deco heritage and Victorian roots. The most exclusive suites have been individually styled by world-renowned designers, including Diane von Furstenberg and David Linley. The attention to detail is legendary—guests are even transported to their floors via the hotel's famous vintage, hand-operated elevators, complete with a velvet sofa and a dedicated lift operator.
The Legendary Afternoon Tea
If there is one thing Claridge’s is globally renowned for, it is the Afternoon Tea served in the spectacular Foyer & Reading Room. A masterclass in culinary tradition, the experience includes delicate finger sandwiches, warm scones with Marco Polo jelly and Cornish clotted cream, and a selection of over 50 rare teas, all served on bespoke jade-and-white striped bone china while a live string quartet plays in the background.
Cocktails at The Painter's Room
For the evening, Claridge's Bar offers a sophisticated spot for vintage champagnes, but the newer Painter's Room is a true hidden gem. Designed with pink onyx and whimsical murals, it offers an intimate, stylish environment to enjoy innovative, Mediterranean-inspired cocktails crafted by some of London’s finest mixologists.
"There is simply nowhere else in London quite like Claridge's. My husband and I stayed here to celebrate our 10th anniversary, and the magic of this place is undeniable. The service is impeccably British—formal yet incredibly warm and personal. Riding the vintage elevator to our stunning Art Deco suite was a daily treat. The afternoon tea lived up to every bit of the hype. It is pure Mayfair perfection, and we cannot wait to return."
