The Claridges - Traditional Luxury hotel in London
Long refered to as the jewel in London's Art Deco crown, and rightly so. Claridge's has a combination of both style and tradition that few hotels in the world can match.
An 'Old Lady' of London's luxury hotel scene, Claridge’s hotel has welcomed royalty and celebrities alike since it opened over 200 years ago. Yet the hotel has far from rested on its laurels over that time, it’s most recent addition, the Map room, is perhaps one of the most stylish lounges in London. Its signature suites too provide guests with a wide array of styles to choose from - Victorian, Art Deco or contemporary. One thing that has remained the same though, is its world famous afternoon tea, rated by some as the best in London.
Amenities
Claridge’s hotel is blessed with some of the most unique venues in London, each one with its own distinct feel. The ballroom is one of the most beautiful in London, the foyer is one of the most grand, the Fumor bar is one of the most intimate and the Claridge's bar is one of the most glitzy.
The Foyer and Reading Room
Perhaps the grandest Art Deco room in London, the Foyer makes for a memorable place to have dinner. Its centre piece Chihuly light sculpture hangs from the room’s epically high ceiling. The venue is open for breakfast lunch and dinner, as well as for afternoon tea.
Claridge's Bar
There are few bars more beautiful than the David Collins designed Claridge's bar. Original Art Deco features are complemented beautifully contemporary touches such as a silver-leafed ceiling and green glass chandelier.
The Fumor
Designed by Thierry Despont the Fumor provides an authentic 1930's experience. Tucked away in the hotel the Art Deco bar features original 1930's Lalique panelling, heaps of gold details and lashings of rich leather.

Bluebird's Favourite Feature:
The Foyer and Reading room provides glitz, glamour and a dose of the high life like no other. A huge Chihuly light sculpture hangs from the Foyer's high ceilings which is in turn supported by elegant crystal cladded columns. It all adds up to provide a traditonal London venue fit for the Queen.
