Claridge's Review

Sign the guestbook here and you'll be in good company—some of the world's most famous names use Claridge's as a London home-away-from-home, and they are tended to by a friendly staff that is not in the least condescending and accommodated in quarters that are never less than luxurious (with soothing, modern decor in tones of taupe and cream and spacious bathrooms with enormous showerheads). Enjoy a cup of tea in the lounge, or retreat to the stylish bar for cocktails—or, better, to Gordon Ramsay's famed restaurant. The original art deco public spaces are gloriously unspoiled, down to the grand staircase and magnificent elevator, complete with upholstered sofa. Perhaps Spencer Tracy said it best when he remarked that, when he died, he wanted to go not to heaven, but to Claridge's.
