Claridge's in City of London, Westminster

Extremely expensive drinks. We were 6 people who had 6 cocktails (one each). The damage? GBP 173£ Worth it? Been there, done that. Not doing it again!

An impromptu lunch at the Foyer & Reading Room was spectacular, the menu was perfect and our food choices were sensational coupled with truly impeccable service, a wonderful experience I would highly recommend

That’s Claridges There no need to say more

Stayed at Claridges on my wedding night & I use the bar from time to time. Classical style & elegance never goes out of fashion and the customer service is always excellent. There are numerous 5 star luxury hotels in London but there is only one Claridges..Top notch

If you want peace, calm and privacy combined with excellent service in the best location in London, this is the hotel for you.

Intrigued by the hotel that I viewed on YouTube. I have to say that I would love to stay here one day.

I can count on one hand how many times my expectations have been surpassed when it comes to hotels - Claridge’s is one of them. Everything was flawlessly executed, from the meet and greet service at the airport, to the chauffeur, to the hotel check-in with Julia (she’s so lovely), everyone was so hospitable and on point. Everyone knew we were tired from the 12+ hour flight and they didn’t chat too long or keep us waiting at all, and I am so appreciative of that conscientiousness. Even the bags came up within a minute or two of our arrival into the room. Everything I had wishfully requested, from the hairdryer to the quiet room location, was provided. I think they’ve ruined me for all other hotels. They’ve absolutely earned a newly loyal guest. Edited to add: Nigel and Miles in concierge are incredible, personable, knowledgeable people. Really appreciated all their help during our stay in London.

Having recently hosted two events at Claridge's, I can confidently say this iconic London establishment surpasses its already stellar reputation. From the initial planning stages through execution, Claridge's delivers an experience that transcends the conventional understanding of luxury hospitality. The venue's timeless Art Deco elegance creates an atmosphere of refined sophistication that immediately impresses guests upon arrival. What truly distinguishes Claridge's, however, is its exceptional staff. The events team demonstrates remarkable professionalism, approaching each interaction with genuine warmth while maintaining impeccable attention to detail. Their communication throughout the planning process was consistently clear, responsive, and thoughtful—anticipating needs before they arose. The preparation for both events was flawless. Every element, from room setup to audiovisual requirements, was executed with precision. The catering deserves special mention, with each dish reflecting the kitchen's commitment to culinary excellence. The service staff moved with choreographed efficiency that never felt rushed or intrusive. For high-profile events where impression matters, Claridge's offers that rare combination of prestigious heritage and contemporary service excellence. The venue's ability to make each guest feel personally attended to, despite managing multiple complex events simultaneously, demonstrates their mastery of the hospitality craft. Claridge's doesn't merely meet expectations—it redefines them. For those seeking an event venue that will leave guests with lasting positive impressions, Claridge's stands as London's premier choice.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Were invited to a restaurant for dinner. Everything was delicious, service was very good. Festive atmosphere.

My favourite hotel so far. Service is exceptional. The restaurant is so beautiful, you have live music with top quality food. 10/10 for me

Must visit the Jr exhibition ♥️

Total luxury with very pleasant staff

I have used the hotel and bar for over 20 years but I haven’t travel to london since lockdown. I visited the bar for the first time since and was very disappointed with the service. My Negroni tasted more of an Amaretto taste, when queried I was told it was made correctly. The men’s room had a very strong smell of urine. Bar person suggested one drink was not enough and I should order another. Completely disappointed, I was looking forward to my visit after so long but will not be using this establishment again.

Everything has been said before about this fantastic place, but nothing prepared us for the kindness and sweetness of the staff - whatever their role might be. We were staying as a once in a lifetime treat for our 40th anniversary and it could not have been more special. Our ( very kindly upgraded) room was absolutely beautiful, but it was the warmth and friendliness of everyone we met that will stay with us most.

Visited in January 2023, easy to get to only 20 minutes on the tube from kings Cross or even quicker taxi ( traffic depending). We booked well in advance for our afternoon tea. A very British experience not to be missed if you’re in town. Check out the photos excellent selection of cakes

Claridge’s, Claridge’s, Claridge’s Claridge’s has a name second to none, we all know about its history and its recent history on the refurbishment, the attention to detail is high, the building and interior design and layout old and new is just fantastic and the cleanliness throughout was above excellent. The breakfast, afternoon tea, and evening meal were all exceptional, and I can tell you, that you will never leave Claridge’s hungry! The jewel in the crown for me is their staff!!! From the time we turned up outside the building we were met with not just friendly staff but loving and caring people genuinely wanting to help. The reception team and even the security are more than well trained they seem handpicked for their genuine personalities as I cannot see how you can train this into so many people. If they have trained them, then the training is outstanding! The waiters and waitress’s were one step ahead and very welcoming and friendly, nothing was trouble for them, and they were not over friendly either. Big thank you to Jack that gave us a fantastic tour around the building giving us interesting facts about the hotel, he was so open and friendly and had an inspirational attitude towards beginning his journey as a staff member at the hotel. And thank you to all the Claridge’s family that made us feel at home, the wedding gifts and little extras were much appreciated. It was a magical stay and my wife did not want to leave and even shed happy tears in the taxi home. You can put millions into a building but if the people in it are not right, I would not be back, but in this case, I will be back for sure.

Good service and good atmosphere

Delightful, very enjoyable afternoon tea. Plentiful sandwiches, lovely scones & cakes. Choice of 36 teas. Extensive wine list. Perfect champagne. Attentive, friendly, pleasant staff. Issac was brilliant. Impressive surroundings.

We went for afternoon tea....fabulous

High quality afternoon tea, wonderful venue and great service! The scones could have been warmer but the finger sandwiches and pastries were very delicate

lovely stay - staff have a lovely balance of great service but without being stuffy - hotel has a grand feel with wide corridors and a big lobby space - personally I prefer a buffet option at breakfast but that seems to be out of fashion at a lot of hotels these days . we had a huge room with a stunning bathroom

Went fir afternoon tea and it did not disappoint

Lovely stay in my favourite London hotel. The room, staff, service and overall experience is, in my opinion, hard to beat. It’s our second stay in as many months and we will be back again soon.

We’ve been here a few times now for afternoon tea and it is without doubt the best afternoon tea there is. This is definitely the standard that others should aspire too when it comes to afternoon tea, the service is exceptional, the venue is stunning and the food itself is amazing.

Afternoon at Claridge’s – Timeless Elegance and Impeccable Service A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon at Claridge’s, and as always, it was a truly exceptional experience. From the moment I arrived, the warm and attentive welcome set the tone for what would be another unforgettable visit. Claridge’s has a way of making every guest feel special, with service that is both effortless and impeccable. The staff anticipate your needs with a quiet efficiency that defines true hospitality. Whether it’s the refined atmosphere, the exquisite attention to detail, or simply the charm of this legendary hotel, every moment here is a reminder of why Claridge’s remains one of London’s finest. A visit to Claridge’s is never just an afternoon—it’s an experience, one that stays with you long after you’ve left. Looking forward to the next time already!

2 days of Spring Festival in 2025, quite a good experience! All five-star reviews! 👍The service is super good👍The environment, service, catering, facilities, etc. are all very good👍It is difficult to enjoy such good service in Europe and the United States now, so there are so many dignitaries staying at Claridge’s Hotel.

Been there yesterday for afternoon tea. Absolutely perfect. The best afternoon tea in London and probably in the whole world. Waitress Angela is superb: extremely multitask, efficient, and entertaining! ❤️❤️❤️

We went for my wife's birthday and the whole experience was faultless. The staff were superb (particularly Sarah on reception) who made my wife feel really special. The painters room cocktail bar was excellent again with superb service followed by Dinner in Claridge's restaurant which was excellent. The spa is gorgeous with excellent staff and we enjoyed breakfast in the foyer. For the accommodation we were upgraded to a balcony room in the refurbished part and it was without a doubt the most wonderful room we have stayed in. High quality furnishings mixing modern and Art Deco along with a gorgeous bathroom and very large separate dressing room. The pictures on the web site don't convey just how spacious and luxury the rooms are (of course I expect they vary so can only comment on ours). I cannot find a single fault and while not cheap it certainly is great value for money to have an experience so perfect. Location being 2 mins from Bond Street Elizabeth line was also ideal.

Tried the afternoon tea, was expecting amazing flavours but it was quite underwhelming. The desserts looked creative and pretty but lacked overall flavour. The scones were lovely and fresh though, and the Rare Chai was nice. The service was great. Apart from these three things, it left much to be desired given the price tag.

Stayed overnight at Room 431. In comparison to other 5 star hotels like The Savoy, Mandarin Oriental, Raffles OWO and The Goring, I felt the service at Claridges was somewhat underwhelming and not at par as other luxury hotels in London. Those hotels really go all out to make a guest feel great. Don't get me wrong, the reception, concierge at Claridge's were polite but it really wasn't anything special and somewhat unforgettable. Perhaps because it was always so busy that guests just feel like they're a number. The room was well equipped and very comfortable, but the sauna and spa was lacking in many amenities like disposable hair brush, swim suit dryers. Amenities that the Raffles at OWO provides. I was surprised also that the milk in our room had gone off, it had curd and was bad. I informed reception and all we got was 'Oh sorry' and that was it. I really expected more from Claridge's. Additionally, I didn't expect to queue 1/2 hour for breakfast outside the restaurant watching others finish their meal. There were lots of other guests queueing behind us and the queue was moving very slow. I get it that it's the weekend and the hotel was full but I really did not enjoy that experience. Food was ok I had the Japanese breakfast. In conclusion I probably wouldn't choose the Claridge's again because you can get much better service in other luxury hotels in and around London.

Experience at the only restaurant. Everything is perfect. A very nice London hotel

Beautiful restaurant setting, lovely staff and food was delicious!! Such a great atmosphere for a special occasion!! It’s pricey but it’s Claridges what can I say!!

Only one word. Fabulous in every way Went for a friends 40th birthday celebration and it was a wonderful experience, Food. first class'and service just perfect ,,This was a memorable night in every way Wish I could visit every Saturday night,Luxury in every way ,

I went to eat in the dining room but found the food underwhelming. Service however was immaculate.

Lovely hotel! Beautiful Christmas tree as always. Service and staff simply incredible and accommodating.

Fabulous food and great service.

It’s Claridges…..if you know you know….

I've recommended Claridges as the best afternoon tea in London for many years but my latest visit was so disappointing. Instagrammers seem to have taken over the lobby, it was full of people taking pictures by the tree even security on the stairs. The queue for the ladies toilets was ridiculous out into the corridor. I've been to Claridges many times, but on this occasion it just lost its spark for me. Even the actual afternoon tea although looked pretty the cakes weren't something I would say yum to. Dry edges on sandwiches and bland. After paying over £300 for two afternoon teas, I normally leave on a high but felt down right disappointed it was not the special experience it once was.

We recently visited the hotel bar at the claridge’s. Upon seated down, we were told straight away that they needed the table back in 1.5 hrs. Given the busy Xmas season, we were ok with it. Then the service was a real let down: during the whole time, we were not asked by staff if we needed any water, and no one came to refill our snack bowl. It was difficult to get the staff’s attention throughout the whole time. After one hour, a gentleman came to us and announced that they needed the table back in 30 min. He said it in such a loud and brash way and in front of everyone which made us felt embarrassed. We wish he could have handled it with more discretion. We left after 2 rounds of drinks - honestly, a glass of champagne at £35, you’d expect the service to be a bit more professional and discerning.

I only came in to look at the Christmas decorations

Wonderful place and genuinely amazing, old school proper hospitality. Most wonderful lunch and steak was just amazing . Rooms are spacious with generous bath and Concierge Team, having been travelling all over the world is most outstanding. Every guest will feel most welcomed visiting London staying at Claridges

I haven’t stayed at this hotel, but I saw online that Paul Smith decorated their main Christmas tree, and I couldn’t resist going to see it in person. Honestly, they did an amazing job; the tree looks unique and beautifully designed, with so much attention to detail. But what really stood out was how festive the entire hotel felt. The Christmas decorations throughout the lobby and other spaces are just as stunning, with a cozy and elegant vibe that makes the place feel extra special for the holidays. If you’re in the area, it’s definitely worth stopping by to take a look!

I recently attended an event at Claridge’s Hotel in Mayfair, London, for the Marketing Group of Great Britain. The hotel is stunning, with grand decor and an elegant, festive atmosphere. The event was held in a spacious dining hall near the ballroom, with excellent facilities including a cloakroom, changing area, and clean toilets. The staff were courteous, professional, and attentive, ensuring drinks were refilled promptly and service was efficient. The Christmas dinner was a set menu, with a delicious crab starter and traditional turkey main. While the sides were tasty, the turkey was slightly dry, and the dessert, Christmas pudding, wasn’t my favourite, though the brandy sauce was lovely. Mini desserts served with tea and coffee at the end were a charming touch. My vegetarian friend found his portion size too small, which was disappointing. Overall, while the food could be improved, the beautiful location, excellent service, and festive touches made for an enjoyable evening. I’d love to return, perhaps to dine at one of their restaurants or stay overnight.

Fabulous meal, things didn’t go completely to plan but was totally saved by Angela the superb restaurant manager who came to the rescue and sorted everything out beyond expectations, thank you, Angela. The chicken pie has to be the best chicken pie I’ve ever tasted!

We delivered honey for vip client . Beautifull location and great hospitality.

The sevice was good because they gave me some d in the night and it was very nice.

CLARIDGE'S 🛎️ HOTEL Brook Street W1K 4HR Mayfair - London - England 🇬🇧U.K.

Great atmosphere and lovely settings.

Greatest hotel on earth, never need an excuse to visit Claridges, such an institution. I've been coming here for over 14 years and just love it. Service is great from James. Highly recommend! Keep up the great work

Went here for afternoon tea on 24 July 2024. We had a gift card, which was good as it costs £100 per person. The food was excellent - sandwiches, scones and cake. I particularly liked the very thick clotted cream. Our waiter was very good. Would recommend for the experience of the surroundings. We even got to see Bruce Springsteen!

 Claridge's is a 5-star hotel in London's Mayfair district that's known for its art deco style, elegant rooms, and impeccable service. The hotel has been open since 1856 and has hosted many famous guests, including Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn, and Audrey Hepburn

I only go to this Hotel, in London, because it's the best. I consider this wonderful place as my Sanctuary !

A really wonderful afternoon tea experience. Our waitress, Janelle, was outstanding. Really friendly helpful and made our experience so personal. All I can add is thank you & see you again 👏🍾☕️🥪🥮🧁

I wanted to try the lobster Benedict and I was a little late for my reservation. The cook didn't want to make the dish. So I had a couple of drinks , enjoyed the space and wrote a mean email to the establishment. The next day a woman contacted me and asked me on a conference call to look into the situation. I was invited back on Friday of that week and treated very very very well. I realize things can't be perfect in the hospitality industry but people at claridges like miss Howard, absolutely make it amazing. I highly recommend this place because of its fantastic work ethic and commitment to the customer experience. The service here, is better then one can get at the Paris Ritz. The food and bars are excellent. The property is exemplary. Well done claridges.

That’s our second home in London, can’t thank you the staff enough for always take a good care of us.

Attended a wedding reception. Excellent service and food.

We went there for just the afternoon tea experience. Sandwiches were lovely and fresh, scones were tasty but quite small. The cakes were just ok and again small pieces. The staff were great. Highly professional. However, a bit overpriced for what it was and they add on 15% service charge too which makes it very expensive!. A once in a lifetime experience but not worth for what they charge.

We went as part of our anniversary trip for afternoon tea. It was all extremely delicious. The staff was all kind and helpful.

Can't recommend Claridges enough, it's beyond a special experience, and somewhere you should absolutely add to your bucket list if you haven't had the pleasure already. https://samdocker.co/claridges-hotel-wedding-mayfair-london-vi-and-mark/

They took my dog and my knife weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

One of the best Howie I've ever been to. The service is impeccable and the food is beyond yummy 😋

This is the place for tea! Natalie was our server, and she did a fantastic job taking care of us. I will definitely be going back again!

Had lunch in the Foyer and reading room and it was excellent. Made us feel at ease and catered for our needs remarkable well. A real experience and treat well worth the money.

Claridge's in Mayfair is an iconic and luxurious hotel that offers a truly unforgettable experience. From the moment you step through the doors, you are greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with impeccable service and attention to detail. The rooms are spacious and elegantly decorated, with comfortable beds and high-quality linens. The hotel's bar and restaurant are also top-notch, with a wide selection of delicious food and drinks. The location is perfect, with easy access to all the major attractions in London. I would highly recommend Claridge's to anyone looking for a truly special and memorable stay in London.

My husband and I first went to Claridge's for afternoon tea early on in our relationship. A few years later, after getting engaged, we thought we'd look around their function rooms, just to see what it was like and Cat (the events coordinator) was so lovely and friendly, and the rooms were so beautiful, every other venue we looked around just didn't compare, so we ended up getting married there. The whole planning process was a breeze, and Cat and the rest of the staff were amazing, taking all the stress out it. Every time we visited we were treated so well (given free champagne, an Easter egg, etc.), and their in-house choreographer (Marius) was so lovely we ended up doing more lessons. Whenever we go back, even just for a meal, they always treat us so well. I would 100% recommend Claridge's, its the best London hotel by far, and worth every penny.

We took the afternoon tea here. Since there are no fixed starting times, it is relatively busy and less elegant than in other hotels of a comparable category. The meals were fine and sufficient.

My first love in London. One and only ❤️

Today my husband and I dined at the Foyer. We have been to Claridges before for dinner and afternoon tea. We were looked after by Aaron Jairo and Purna. We couldn’t have been made to feel more special. Their attention to detail is beyond and I am a perfectionist! Thank you all for a wonderful afternoon. We also began in the Fumoir where the service and cocktails are superb! X

Met up with my sister for breakfast at Claridges. Chose the vegetarian option with fresh juices and Claridges signature tea with pastries. Absolutely delicious and to make the experience extra special we had the best waiter in the room. Big thank you to Mario for looking after us. Definitely recommend. Great service price and experience. Wonderful decor. True luxury.

Fantastic afternoon tea, plenty of options for tea, a top up of sandwiches and scones.

Went last night for birthday meal, could not do enough for us, staff were lovely and food was amazing very special place.

We begin with scallop in its shell with a little apple, a little horseradish, and – lest we’re feeling chilly – a cup of hot scallop broth. Classically paired with von Kesselstatt Riesling Spätlese, it’s both delicious and pretty. A speck or two of salt is visible: any more would be too much. Humm works at that level of precision. There follows chawanmushi, whose ingredients – king crab, black truffle, daikon, silky custard – would work any which way. Cornish crab is simple bliss, the sparkling flakes of white meat piled on to a tiling of cucumber slices. Seared Portland scallops with pink grapefruit, radicchio, broad beans and hollandaise offers more complex, bitter pleasures but the same commitment to best-in-class ingredients.

Arranged to meet friends for pre dinner drinks @5.30 ,no booking was made, however on arrival we were told we could stand at the bar ,after standing at the bar for 15 minutes ,and being totally ignored, not even being acknowledged we decided to leave ,We decided to try café royal, what a contrast, as a first time customer we were welcomed like long lost family ,cocktails were excellent ,So a big thanks to the staff @ Cafe royal, well done 👏, As for the barstaff at Claridges you guys seriously need to up your game.Danny lowe

Perfection! That is the sum of the experience. That level of excellence is an art and it was a joy to experience.

We visit this Hotel since the 60’s, i wasn’t even born yet. But my family and family buss. asociates introduced us here.Among others especialy Mr, John Angus ( Bud) Mc Dougald of Argus Corp. had his own Suite in this Hotel in the 60’s. He was one of Canada’s most influential buss. men of all times, with ties to the British Royal Family and our late Queen Elizabeth even stayed at Green Meadows or at “the Castle”Teddington Park 174a. The fact that he was a regular guest in this establiscent, combined with my own experiance, i can say without honor that; this is without a doubt the best Hotel in the world! Thank you for having me at all times, providing us with more that epic services! Everything that can be out in words is about your Hotel is a mere understatement.

Raw chicken and overcooked pork! 😖 We were celebrating with the family a few weeks ago and two of us ordered the sharing chicken - looked great but it was so raw inside! The rest of us got the pork but it was so overcooked and chewy! It's a shame because the building is lovely but it's not really good enough from the chefs.. the head waiter was very apologetic and didnt charge us for the chicken, but I just don't think it should've got to that stage 😔

Well, we were about to drop $2k on a suite at this hotel only to discover that you have to book everything in advance. Book your breakfast time. Book your lunch time. Book your evening meal. But, get this.... you even have to book to get a drink at their bar!?! Only to then discover they are entirely 'booked up' two weeks a head. So, that means you can make a room reservation only to discover as a paying guest (at this 5* hotel) that normal amenities won't be available to you. Seriously, who is required to book a drink at the bar two weeks ahead of time? Hello... it's almost 2024, we're not in Covid-19 pandemic times any more. The hotel even has lots of rooms available for the date required, so it's not like they're fully booked. Clearly they are taking far too many bookings from non-guests and folk off the streets. Is that greed at the detriment of hotel guests? Probably. Sorry, we can't stay here. There are far too many other 5* London hotels that let you visit their bar whenever you like to purchase a $25 drink, and go down to breakfast when you want. You don't need to 'book' ahead. Who on earth wants all these kinds of unnecessary restrictions in this day and age? I have no idea in two weeks time when I might want a glass of wine at the bar or what time I may wake up and want breakfast! Shame!

I can't even praise everyone enough for being so kind, generous, considerate and overall amazing! My mother-in-law, Luch, wanted a special day with her favourite girls at a special place so we went to the Claridge's or March 6, 2023 for afternoon tea. Luch was on oxygen and wheelchair and they have made everything very comfortable for her, asking her frequently if she needed anything; they even took the spare oxygen tank in our car when hers ran out. We booked the Reading Room so we can have our own space as Luch cannot be too exposed and Leo was our personal waiter who did an amazing job and was very entertaining and professional. The food was undoubtedly scrumptious and the pastries and the wide array of tea were outstanding! We loved every bite and every drop! At the end of the tea party, they handed Luch a care package and that just melted everyone's hearts witnessing how thoughtful they were. Luch verbally said to them, "Thank you for making this extra special, this is my goodbye to my girls." My mother-in-law passed peacefully a week after, wearing her favourite cashmere socks which was gifted by the Claridges team. This was her last time out and you didn't just deliver but surpassed every expectation we ever could imagine, you went far and beyond. We can't thank you enough, Claridge's Team.

Old styled luxury hotel dating from 1856s. Love the vibes here..

One of the finest properties I have ever stayed in, right in the middle of London where in a minute you can be at the busiest places and the moment you step in to your room it’s all nice and quiet that you don’t want to peek outside the window to see the urbanized world of buildings only. Bar is always busy but busy because of the beauty of it. From the moment you step through its doors, you're greeted with warm smiles and impeccable service. Duty manager Amin and his team were super helpful and left no stone unturned to make our stay unforgettable.

Everything you need in 1 place and staff are helpful makes a difference

It was a shared birthday lunch. It was nice, nothing was wrong. Tick. But probably never doing it again because it was lacking that special something.

From the moment I arrived until my departure, my stay at Claridge’s Hotel in London was nothing short of spectacular. Celebrating my birthday in such an iconic establishment made my special day even more memorable. The hotel exudes elegance and charm, with its luxurious accommodations and impeccable service. I was particularly impressed by the warmth and professionalism of the staff. A special shout-out to Amine, who went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect. His attention to detail, kindness, and exceptional service truly stood out and added a personal touch to my birthday celebrations. The ambiance, the exquisite dining options, and the overall experience at Claridge’s have left a lasting impression on me. It’s clear why this hotel is a favorite among those who appreciate the finer things in life. I can confidently say that whenever I’m in London, Claridge’s will be my go-to destination. Thank you to the entire team, and especially to Amine, for making my birthday unforgettable. I’m already looking forward to my next stay!

Afternoon Tea is a must here! Alix was our server and was phenomenal!!

Went for an afternoon tea, service and food exceptional.

Afternoon Tea was lovely. Another successful trip for us. Service is amazing

One of the best if not best hotels in London

We had our wedding reception here - the staff were incredible. Thank you to everyone involved for making our special day one to remember. We feel very welcomed into the Claridges family.

Very nice but if course too expensive.

Literally flawless. In fact heaven.

Nice spot for coffee and desserts!!
