Claridge's "first opened its doors in 1854", and is today, as "splendid" as it was then. "A true grande dame" Lonely Planet says of this "majestic" hotel. The 203 rooms and "communal areas" are decorated with "Art Deco features" which "date back to the late 1920s". The guide tells us an "army of skilled craftsmen" "ensure that the original features are kept intact". We are told how the "corridors are nearly as wide as the bedrooms". The "combination of traditional and Art Deco design" is "stunning" notes Lonely Planet.
Not far from the hotel, the Royal Academy of Arts, with its summer exhibitions, and the "Fortnum & Mason department store" for shopping. Lonely Planets add at the end of their review, that "no request is refused" in this hotel. To get there, turn "right out of Bond St tube", "right again onto Dawes Rd", and " Brook St is first main road you come to".
