Claridge’s Hotel, London
Expert reviews
“A grand dame London hotel with a history as rich as many of its guests, Claridge’s justifies its high rates with exceptional standards of luxury and service.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in London.
“The red brick Claridge’s is the quintessential luxury Mayfair hotel, decade after decade proudly proclaiming good taste in discretion as administered through glittering Deco accents. The building dates to 1894, but modern amenities are installed among the gilded plasterwork and fireplaces.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in London.
“Claridge’s radiates art deco glamour. This 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.”
“One of London’s most glamorous and longest-established hotels and a home-from-home for visiting royalty, heads of state and celebrities, offering kid-glove hospitality, excellent food and luxurious bedrooms. The service is near-faultless and the price-tag is in line with its Mayfair location.”

Impeccable and Utterly Perfect.
What more can I say. The excellent service began before we even arrived at the hotel. Responses to questions from Concierge, Reception and Management were always prompt and professional. Every single staff member at the hotel provided outstanding service, nothing was ever too much trouble, from Hugh in Claridge’s Restaurant who was more than willing to go above and beyond in the preparation of sister’s unique coffee (extra hot, honey & lemon slices on the side). To Bob, one of the excellent doormen on duty – who was always ready to assist and provided valuable advice. To Concierge Nigel who was able to complete a number of confirmations on my behalf and answer any myriad of questions. Also, a shout out to Lola in the Foyer & Reading room, a very personable young lady, who we felt already exposes the very obvious Claridge’s values. Then there is Mrs. Pat More who responded on behalf of General Manager Paul (who was on leave during our visit). It is greatly appreciated when people take the time to interact and respond. The hotel itself is absolutely brilliant. The renovations are excellent, blending seamlessly with the old. I really loved our Claridge’s Balcony room. A great space for a very relaxed stay. There was not one aspect of the hotel of our stay that I believe could be enhanced. I have stayed in a number of hotels around the world and Claridge’s now becomes the yardstick against which any & all future hotel stays will be measured. Once again, my heartfelt thanks to Paul and all of the team at Claridge’s, particularly in light of my recent change in circumstances. I believe that this can be attributed to great leadership from the top down.

All in all a good style
Staff great and accommodating, a thank you to Chris at Concierge for sorting the cancelling of Scotts and rebooking the next night. Intern Rachel from Ireland served us for breakfast, she was lovely.
A couple of small things in the room annoyed me, the sink plug didn't work properly and got worse as the stay went on , I ended up filling the sink for a wash and couldn't empty it, so left it!! The phone on the right hand side of bed didn't work. Taking a shower was not great, the seal on the door didn't work properly so we ended up with loads of escaped water on the floor!! Would have liked in addition to the rain shower head, a hand held shower head with telescopic bar to adjust the height, the hand held in the shower was at a fixed height which was too high for me! Little things I know, but when you are staying at a 5* hotel (and paying the prices) I expect things to work!!

A beautiful hotel, very central, modern stylish room, big comfy bed. Excellent service.
You don’t get any breakfast when you spend £1400 per night!

Absolutely phenomenal
Well what do you say? From the moment we arrived, we were greeted like long lost family. The room had been upgraded, we had two complimentary rounds of drinks, the decor was beautiful, staff were exceptionally friendly but not to the point where you thought they were just after a tip. We ate in the restaurant on the second evening. The food and service were wonderful. If someone came along and said you can go back to any one of the holidays you've had, I'm come back here.

Always outstanding service, amazing food, lovely staff and very helpful door/bell men.

Excellent facilities, clean rooms and excellent attention to any guest.
The Claridge staff made our stay outstanding by providing constant attention and care. We appreciated not having to sign bills and how the staff remembered details of our likes and dislikes and even orders throughout our stay.
Slow elevators - often taken up by Valet with many suitcases. A separate elevator for them would have been ideal. I would recommend the valet allows the guests go first and not enter the elevators with large loads. The elevator wait was too long.

would be back but probably take a standard room for the difference in costs.
Everything except the spa
Room was beautiful but price felt excessive at 1400 per night vs standard rooms. The balcony is a lovely addition but likely not worth the extra money. The spa was a let down. Pool was small and could have been warmer. Its not a lane pool at that size so it should be warmer. The sauna and steam rooms being in the changing rooms is bonkers. That means you cant do that with a partner. Also the addition of a hot tub would be nice.

An Unforgettable Birthday Stay at Claridge’s
From the moment I arrived until my departure, my stay at Claridge’s Hotel in London was nothing short of spectacular. Celebrating my birthday in such an iconic establishment made my special day even more memorable. The hotel exudes elegance and charm, with its luxurious accommodations and impeccable service. I was particularly impressed by the warmth and professionalism of the staff. A special shout-out to Amine, who went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect. His attention to detail, kindness, and exceptional service truly stood out and added a personal touch to my birthday celebrations. The ambiance, the exquisite dining options, and the overall experience at Claridge’s have left a lasting impression on me. It’s clear why this hotel is a favorite among those who appreciate the finer things in life. I can confidently say that whenever I’m in London, Claridge’s will be my go-to destination. Thank you to the entire team, and especially to Amine, for making my birthday unforgettable. I’m already looking forward to my next stay!

The Simply the best!!
What's not to like... The most amazing hotel in London, stayed recently for two nights with my partner for her birthday, from the moment I stepped out my car and was greeted by Steve and Craig our little break had started, they took care of everything for us, I must add there great at there job and real good fun to be around. The Claridge’s team made our stay simply amazing, A big thank you to Tayhab from reception that showed us to our room and topped it off with a complimentary glass of champagne for my partner and I, a true gent. Claudia & Francisco from guest relations thank you for sorting balloons and gifts for my partners birthday and making it so special for her and last but not least Paul that works within the security team it was almost a shame he was at work as I could have spoke to him for hours, he's one of the nicest fellas iv ever spoke with, hope to see you all very soon. Thank you Claridge’s You really are No 1
