Claridge’s

The West End


Claridge’s, with 203 rooms, is one of London’s iconic five-star hotels. Celebrated for its sumptuous art-deco features (including 1930s vintage furniture that once graced the staterooms of the decommissioned SS Normandie), it has a series of more modern rooms and suites designed by David Linley, the Queen's nephew. The result is muted colours and elegant, classic furniture designs.

Check out Linley's magnificent wall-size inlaid map of the world in the Map Room off the lobby. The hotel is undergoing a massive refit, and a pool and spa are on the way.
