This Mayfair landmark — where the crowned heads of Europe came to wait out the Second World War — remains splendidly and timelessly Art Deco.
“Claridge’s radiates art deco glamour. This Forbes Travel Guide Five-star London hotel has been opening its doors to guests since 1856, becoming a regular go-to for a roll call of who’s who, including Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, Audrey Hepburn, Cary Grant, Bing Crosby, Alfred Hitchcock, Lulu Guinness and Kate Moss.”
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set along Brook Street in Mayfair, the hotel sits steps from Bond Street galleries, Savile Row tailors, and the open lawns of Hyde Park.
The rooms
Bespoke suites showcase tailored burr wood cabinetry, original marble fireplaces, and Art Deco marble bathrooms attended by dedicated round-the-clock butlers.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Limestone columns and vaulted ceilings enclose the subterranean heated pool, lined with private relaxation cabanas.
The spa
Oak-panelled rooms host Japanese foot rituals and Augustinus Bader facials, alongside a salon by colourist Josh Wood.
The gym
The fitness studio is fitted with Technogym machines alongside walnut and stainless-steel weights by Pent and NOHrD.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Cocktails are mixed across a pink onyx counter in The Painter's Room, and the bakery turns out fresh sourdough daily.
The lobby still captures the art deco glamour of the Jazz Age when flapper girls once hobnobbed with European royalty.
How it began
During World War II, Suite 212 was declared Yugoslavian territory for a single day so an exiled crown prince could be born on sovereign soil.
“Today, the hotel houses 269 rooms, with its original Regency-style suites delicately retouched with muted earth tones to invoke a sense of calm…”
