William Claridge created a suite of private apartments from six houses in 1853. Since then, this "grand and dignified" establishment has played host to "heads of state, dignitaries and the illustrious" with a "discreet" welcome. The author notes that the "old-fashioned comfort and luxury" still prevails after a major refurbishment. There are dazzling new penthouse suites on the seventh floor but touches, such as the wintertime "blazing log fire" in the lobby, maintain the feel of a private club. Living "in the grand manner" is supported by full butler services. He was also amazed by the sumptuous Royal Suites. Decor varies "from the Scottish baronial" to 1920s "chic" and all facilities are ultra modern. The "jazz age" Claridge's restaurant features "some good cooking" from chef Gordon Ramsey. The hotel also offers a full health and fitness suite. Gayot awards Claridge's 5 keys ("Pure luxury: As good as it gets; where to stay if money is no object and you demand perfection. Among the very best hotels in the world.")
