Life
Claridge’s has the kind of service you can only expect from a brand of this heritage, with a modern touch making it the ideal London bolthole to escape to this festive season and beyond.
The Stay
There is something magical about a Claridge’s suite or room. As well as being among the most spacious in London, each one has been beautifully designed and furnished, complete with many thoughtful, luxurious touches that make you feel completely at home. The room service here is second to none all delivered by the politest team you’ll meet. If you’re staying for a few days, absolutely enjoy the restaurants but do make sure you have a cosy in-room dinner, the set-up is spectacular, the menu is extensive, and you’ll feel well rested and relaxed.
The Dining
The Art Deco doors to Claridge’s Restaurant are open, a new chapter in the hotel’s long history begins. Last known as Claridge’s Restaurant over 20 years ago, this classic-yetcontemporary spot is once again operated in house – serving up a modern twist on British flavours across breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Showcasing seasonal, locally sourced produce, classic dishes here are elevated with a signature Claridge’s spin. Designed by Bryan O’Sullivan Studio, with particular homage to the hotel’s art deco design heritage. A contemporary colour palette is complemented with Calcutta Viola marble and antique brass. Mosaic flooring, central leather banquettes and dramatic pendant lamps add a sense of true glamour to the space. Bringing café culture to Claridge’s for the very first time, Claridge’s ArtSpace Café has opened, with its own dedicated entrance on Brook’s Mews bedecked with awning and flags. Open daily with a focus on breakfast and lunch, the Café offers a vibrant menu with crêpes as a signature, alongside bagels, bespoke galettes, salads that shift with the seasons, croque monsieurs and madames, mega madeleines and Claridge’s cakes galore. Designed by renowned British architectural designer John Pawson, the Café features a gallery-like patisserie counter, marble communal table as a central spot, and entry down to Claridge’s ArtSpace – a vast gallery which rotates exhibitions, free for all to view.
The Wellness
Claridge’s Spa is an epicentre of wellness, showcasing healing rituals, a knowledge of restorative body work and the latest bioinnovation to amplify emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing. The space, designed by interior architect André Fu, is inspired by his own visits to traditional Japanese temples and Zen gardens in Kyoto, with a use of natural elements such as limestone, wood and water. This is a place to truly unwind after a long day and recharge.
