Reviews of Claridge's
Lonely Planet review of Claridge's
A true grande dame on the London hotel circuit, the majestic Claridges is as splendid today as it was when it first opened its doors in 1854. It's a wonderful reminder of a bygone era with every floor and corner steeped in history. The corridors are nearly as wide as the bedrooms themselves and were designed to allow ladies in their wide bell-shaped skirts to pass one another easily. The original 'Ladies Lift', complete with velvet-covered bench, still operates, although these days it's used as much by men as women. Many of the Art Deco features in the communal areas and in the 203 rooms and suites date back to the late 1920s, while the 1930s furniture once graced the staterooms of the decommissioned SS Normandie. The attention to detail is staggering; an army of skilled craftsmen from plasterers to French polishers are employed full-time to ensure that the original features are kept intact. With such a stunning combination of traditional and Art Deco design, Claridges sits in a class of its own.

Class in London
I went with my wife to the Claridge's in London for a two day vacation. We had reserved a superior room. For some reason, they upgraded us to the junior suite.
The junior suite had been recently renovated. It was elegant (30s art deco) and confortable. A subtle flower smell was floating all around, a bottle of Laurent Perrier Champagne waiting for us. The room was big and confortable and the living room was very big. It made our stay a blast. The whole suite was maybe 90 sqm. The turn down service was also very well done, with a number of indirect lights giving a very cosy atmosphere, the fatly padded slippers for our feet, a bottle of water should we be thirsty in the night, new towels, etc etc... Every detail was attended to. Even their shower was exceptional- a Head shower and a shoulder shower!!!
We had the tea ceremony at 17:00. the ambiance was very refined, the service good, the tea and pastries very tasty. paying for this indulgence 35 GBP We however skipped the sandwiches and the champagne saving around 50 extra GBP. The morale: nice experience, but veeery expensive. But this is London...
The hotel is centrally located, 10 mins walk from picadilly circus, 20 mins from the theater district.
There is nothing i can say negative about this hotel apart from the fact it was expensive, (but worth the money if u can afford it), Staff was courteous and friendly, ambiance was superb, make u feel like royalty. They even have a couch in the elevator!!!
I Strongly recommend it for a 2 day romantic getaway.

The Best Hotel in London
We stayed for two nights at Claridge's (having stayed on previous occasions), and were thoroughly delighted. We had a deluxe refurbished room on the seventh floor, which was extremely spacious, with a very large bathroom (including walk-in shower), a lobby and walk-in wardrobe. The style of the room was toned-down Art Deco (rather than Belle Epoque), and very elegantly done.
Service in general in the hotel is more or less flawless, with a seamless flow from door to room. One's bags are whipped out of the taxi and reappear in the room; the reception staff are very helpful, and the lift-operators are always very friendly, and usually remember which floor you are on. There is something about the whole operation which just seems to work so much better than anywhere else. One can tell that the only concern of the staff is to get things right every time.
Breakfast in the very comfortable Foyer or Reading Room is excellent, with no uncivilised buffet nonsense. You just order what you want and they bring it. The staff also know your name when they serve you.
Two slight disappointments about the hotel are, first, that it is almost impossible to get a table at the Gordon Ramsay Restaurant without booking more than a month in advance; and secondly, that the main bar can get full and a little rowdy at times. One has to settle for a drink in The Foyer or Fumoir instead. The service remains, nevertheless exemplary.
I have been to hotels which are different, but not one which is better.

Timeless Glamour!
From the moment we arrived we were swept away with the style and glamour of this London property.
The bar oozed class and the food in the reading room was to die for!
Our room was art deco in style and I had the most conforatble nights sleep. Breakfast in bed the bed the next day with the most fantastic menu choices available- they even made us items not featured!!
We soaked up the atmosphere before leaving but I know that we will be back again before the end of the year-definitely a new London home for us!!

Loved Claridge's. Discreet, attentive service, wow factor!
Stopped here in a suite for my 30th birthday. Suite was great - large sitting room with DVD, CD player, flat screen etc. Bedroom also large with flat screen. Bathroom massive. Champagne, flowers and chocs. Cannot fault it. It's expensive at £330 per night but to be honest, worth every penny!
What is really magnificent about Claridge's though and what makes the difference between a 4* and 5* hotel IMHO is the service. The service is FANTASTIC!!! At breakfast for example we were asked if we would like some orange juice we said 'yes please' and then our waiter, who had a 'secondary waiter' behind him, snapped his fingers and OJ appeared instantly courtesy of the secondary waiter. It was rather marvellous. Claridge's is also down to earth and not at all pretentious. The staff, including the door staff, reception and chambermaids who we spoke to, was incredibly professional and friendly. One woman we met had worked there for over 30 years.
Stopping at Claridge's is an experience that I think everyone should do at least once in their lifetime!
Book early (i.e. 3 months in advance) to get a table at Gordon Ramsay at Claridge's though or you won't get in!!

A Grand Hotel with Great Service
Stayed at Claridge's for four nights on business in April 2008. What a fine property! This is a grand hotel that really knows the meaning of the word "service." The rooms are large (even by American standards) and the furnishings are very nice. My room even had an antique desk, which was beautiful in addition to being functional. The bathroom was also large.
Room service was prompt (when you ask for breakfast to arrive at 7:00, it is there at 7:00 on the dot) and the food was delicious. The service staff was very helpful and courteous, and always went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed.
Location is also great --- in the heart of fashionable Mayfair and close to both Hyde Park and Bond and Oxford Streets. For those taking the Heathrow Express into Paddington Station, it is less than a 10 minute cab ride to Claridge's from Paddington.
Claridge's is quite pricey, but for Americans everything in the U.K. is expensive these days. If the exchange rate were 1-1, Americans would probably think Claridge's was a bargain considering the comfort and service you receive. I would go back in a second.
