Claridge's Review
The original art deco public spaces of this super-glamorous London institution are gloriously unspoiled (down to the grand staircase and elevator, complete with upholstered sofa). Guest rooms are soothing and suave, and spacious bathrooms have enormous showerheads. Enjoy a cup of tea in the lounge, cocktails in the stylish bar, or, better still, a meal in Gordon Ramsay's famed restaurant. £30 deals for lunch and early dinner here are among London's best-kept secret bargains—check the website to see if they're running. Perhaps Spencer Tracy said it best when he remarked that, when he died, he wanted to go not to heaven, but to Claridge's.
