staff ambience food
Since first opening its doors Claridge’s has been the destination for fashionable London.
In 1893 Claridge’s was bought by Richard d’Oyly Carte, owner of the Savoy, who commissioned C.W. Stephens, famous for designing Harrods, to demolish the original buildings and erect the elegant seven storey hotel, which stands today.
Much of the original furniture, lighting and decoration from this time remain and it is this heritage which gives Claridge’s its title of Art Deco jewel of Mayfair.
Throughout the Twentieth century Claridge’s has been the home of the great and the good of the worlds of film, fashion and finance, the opinion formers, the movers and shakers, the chic and most fashionable of the day.
The designer Thierry Despont, with detailed reference to the work of Basil Ionides and Oswald Milne, sympathetically and with exquisite taste, created the restaurant, Gordon Ramsay at Claridge’s, the intimate and chic Fumoir bar, The Foyer and the Reading Room.
