Claridge's, the 200-year-old Mayfair landmark, has been named one of the greatest luxury hotels in the world by luxury lifestyle guide Robb Report. The hotel ranked seventh in the publication's latest list of the '50 greatest luxury hotels on Earth,' four places down from its previous ranking and having once held the top spot.
Robb Report Praise
Robb Report described Claridge's as having 'formal but effortless service in a building that reeks of history, buzzy restaurants and bars plus rooms with a reassuring whiff of Victoriana that subtly nods to Britain's heyday.' The five-star establishment has welcomed royals, A-listers, and high society for over two centuries.
Time Out Endorsement
Time Out recently declared Claridge's the best hotel in London. Editor-in-chief Joe Mackertich said in a five-star review: 'Inarguably one of Europe's finest hotels, Claridge's has a top-to-bottom vibe that exudes art deco glamour, historical significance and smoky old-world naughtiness.' He added: 'Unlike a lot of expensive hotels, Claridge's pulls off high-end luxury with an alarmingly easy-going, joyful expression. A lot of the staff have been there for decades, and the sense of communal affection for the hotel is infectious.'
Accommodation and Amenities
The hotel features 269 elegant rooms that have hosted notable guests including Kate Moss, Audrey Hepburn, Mick Jagger, Alfred Hitchcock, and Queen Elizabeth II. Recent additions include Dante Mayfair, a New York-born restaurant and cocktail bar that launched as a permanent feature in mid-June after a popular residency. Other dining options include the opulent Foyer and Reading Room for afternoon tea, the sultry Fumoir bar, and L'Epicerie, an intimate chef's table experience in the kitchen.
Spa and Fitness
Below ground, guests can enjoy a 7,000-square-foot spa, a gym, and a wine cellar. The hotel continues to draw visitors with its blend of history, luxury, and modern amenities.
