Mayfair's art deco flagship since 1856 — Maybourne's 200-plus-room grand hotel at the top of London's luxury market.
Claridge's has anchored Mayfair's Brook Street since 1856, rebuilt in its current art deco form in the 1920s and renovated most recently in 2021. The property runs over 200 rooms and suites across the original building, with interiors that layer Victorian architectural bones with art deco detailing
Afternoon tea in the Foyer — the ritual that defines Claridge's as much as the art deco interiors, executed at a level that makes it destination dining rather than hotel amenity.
