PROPERTY AMENITIES
* Gordon Ramsay at Claridge’s:
Reservations are essential at this immensely popular fine-dining restaurant, named after its celebrity chef. Dozens of extravagantly large, multi-tiered lampshades hang over the purple dining chairs and are reflected in art-deco mirrors on the marble walls. Contemporary European cuisine is served for lunch and dinner. A chef’s table in the kitchen may be reserved for up to six people to enjoy a meal prepared by Gordon Ramsay himself.
* The Foyer:
With its silver wrought-iron designs, art-deco mirrors, and huge light sculpture shimmering with 800 hand-blown glass pieces, the Foyer is a memorable yet casual setting for breakfast, morning coffee, afternoon tea, or cocktails. A light menu is also available for lunch and dinner. A duet plays classics and soft jazz from lunchtime onwards.
* The Reading Room:
Just off the Foyer, and serving from the same menus, the Reading Room has a more intimate feel, with muted colors, dimmed lights, leather-clad columns, and high-backed banquettes of cushioned velvet. The suede walls are adorned with large framed photos of Claridge’s many distinguished guests.
* Claridge’s Bar:
Open until 1 AM, this bar is popular with the media crowd, and is a good place to talk and to enjoy a drink or a light meal from the menu of international dishes. Decor features burgundy upholstery, sage walls, and ceiling pendants of green glass.
* Macanudo Fumoir:
An intimate bar, faithfully decorated in art-deco style, with leather-and-marble walls, and rich purple upholstery. A vast humidor is packed with cigars, and guests may store their own cigars in the humidor’s separate compartments.
* With views across London, the Health & Beauty has everything for pampering and grooming the body, to restore vigour, vitality and sense of wellbeing. The Suite is tastefully decorated with distinctive glass columns, fine chrome fittings and beautiful hardwoods.
* The ballroom and private banquet rooms include a self-contained suite of dining and meeting rooms on the sixth floor. |

"Step Back in Time...."
Claridges has been on my list of hotels to stay at for some time--and I was delighted to have the chance to do so before a sailing on the Queen Mary 2 this spring. The hotel has a superb location in Mayfair, close to the Bond Street Shops and also Oxford Street as well. Our room was very large with an oversized bathroom and lots of storage space in deep closets--ideal as we had 7 pieces of luggage for our upcoming crossing. The decor of our room was Art Deco and while it seemed that the room was a bit out of fashion--it was very comfortable. Service at the hotel was friendly and the Gordon Ramsay Restuarant served one of the best meals I have ever had in London. Room service was prompt and acurate and the hotel fitness center was very well equipt. For anyone looking for a traditional experience in London luxury--Claridges will live up to its sound reputation.

"Best grand hotel in London"
Stayed at Claridge's recently for a weekend. This has to be my favourite hotel in London. It probably has the best location of any hotel in London - for tourists - as it is right next to Bond Street and Oxford Street and is within 5 minutes of an Underground station. Service at the reception and throughout the hotel is courteous and faultless.
The rooms are large by London standards, and very clean. Furniture is in the classical style, and generally restrained. The beds are comfortable. Internet access - wired and wireless - is available in all rooms. Wall sockets for a variety of plugs and voltages are a welcome detail for overseas business travellers.
Afternoon tea in Claridge's is an institution and should not be missed. Thankfully, Claridge's does not enforce a strict dress code, unlike some other London hotels. The clotted cream served with the scones is sinfully delicious and (as far as I know) only found in the UK. Gordon Ramsay has a restaurant here - it's good but the original in Chelsea is a lot better!
The fitness centre is well equipped with Technogym machines. For joggers, Hyde Park is a 10-minute run away and is beautiful in springtime.
One quirk with the service: Staff who regularly check on your room for cleaning, restocking the minibar, etc will knock to check if there is anyone inside. However, they do not seem to wait very long at all before opening the door! If privacy is required, the privacy switch should be used!

"Second Time around was perfect."
We stayed at Claridges back in April 2005, we had a nightmare stay. The bags took 90 minutes to arrive, there was smoke blowing into a non smoking room throught the air con, they also took £450 off our card without telling us. This left us stuck in London with no money!
We wrote a strong letter of complaint, and we were invited back as guests. The room was upgraded and the staff were very helpull. The service was divine, the Breakfast was fantastic.
The hotel is very old fashioned, but you are paying for service and English refinement. We can recommend for a treat. The best thing in Claridges is Gordon Ramsays restaurant. Book Early for a fantastic dining experience.

"Just once stay here!"
If you need to stay anywhere in London please stay at Claridges.
I arranged for my girlfriend (now fiance) to be picked up from Heathrow and driven straight there where upon I proposed on the balcony over looking the foyer.
The Art Deco room was fantastic and so authentic. The staff could not have been more helpful and attentive without getting under your feet. I could not have wished to have been treated any better.
It is a little on the expensive side but totally worth it.
