We are told that Claridge's, which was founded in 1812 boasts "one of the world's classiest guest lists". Here you can "Enjoy a cup of tea in the lounge, or retreat to the stylish bar for cocktails". Alternatively you may wish to dine in "Gordon Ramsay's inimitable restaurant". The bedrooms and bathrooms are both described as "spacious" and the rooms "are never less than luxurious". The bathrooms have "enormous showerheads" and bedrooms are "Victorian or art deco" in style. Spencer Tracy once said that "when he died, he wanted to go not to heaven, but to Claridge's".

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.

Claridge's, a "once-fading 1812 beauty", has been transformed into the place to live "in the total lap of luxury". The author notes that even after "extensive" renovations the best of the 1930s "Art Deco style" remains. Celebrities frequent the "hip" bar and the "most controversial" and in the author's opinion "the best" chef manages the kitchen.

Guestrooms feature "sumptuous" fabrics, "exceedingly" comfortable beds, all the modern amenities, the "most e

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.

The author states that hotels "don´t get much grander than Claridges" and that his guestroom "was so lovely" that he didn't want it "sullied" by his children. He states that the "Art Deco room was large", "soundproofed" and boasted pastel decor and a "magical" bathroom. The staff are "helpful, but discreet" and the ambiance fit for a "duke". The author does, however, refer to the "business centre" as being "a cupboard with a computer in it" and describes his room service dinner as being "great" and "the ideal end to a day."
