5 starsAbout Claridge's
History
Claridge's traces its origins to a single house on Brook Street that William and Marianne Claridge expanded into a hotel in 1856. Queen Victoria visited in 1860 to call on the Empress Eugénie, cementing the hotel's reputation as a refuge for visiting royalty - a reputation that survives. The current Art Deco interior dates from a 1930 reconstruction by architect Oswald Milne; it is one of the best-preserved interwar commercial interiors in London.
Neighbourhood
Claridge's anchors the Brook Street corner of Mayfair, two minutes from the Bond Street tube and a short walk from Grosvenor Square. The surrounding streets - Davies, Brook, Mount - have become a quiet luxury district of Audemars Piguet, Cire Trudon, and the Connaught's bar a few blocks away. It is one of the rare central London locations where the streetscape itself has not been compromised by chain retail.
The experience
The hotel's foyer staircase and the Fumoir bar are the spaces visitors single out. Suites with terraces overlooking Brook Street are limited - there are fewer than ten - and they trade at significantly higher rates than the inward-facing suites of equivalent square footage.
