When it comes to swanky stays in the capital, there’s nowhere quite like Claridge’s. First opened in 1812, this legendary hotel in the heart of Mayfair is synonymous with luxury hospitality. Lavish lodgings with marble bathrooms? Check. An ultra-pampering spa? Check. Impeccable service all around (complete with a personal butler for each suite)? Check. Plus, the hotel’s afternoon tea, served in fine bone China, is an institution in its own right.
