Claridge's

Entering the Art Deco lobby, stepping into the lift, taking a moment on a bench: arrival at Claridge’s is a lesson in the art of service. All the usual formalities have been taken care of, but with such discreet efficiency that they fade away into a gentle feeling of coming home. This is the epicentre of grand London style, where myth and legend blur with reality. If you’re lucky, the barman in the Fumoir will share a few tales with you, while he crafts the cocktail you didn’t realise you wanted. Claridge’s has the singular knack of knowing you before you step through the door, anticipating your wishes with all the finesse of the world’s elite.

The fine furniture of the suites, like these chests of drawers with lacquered chinoiseries.
