Claridge's, Grade II listed Art Deco hotel in Mayfair, London, United Kingdom
Claridge's is a listed hotel in Art Deco style standing at the corner of Brook Street and Davies Street in Mayfair, London. The facade shows clean geometric lines and refined ornament, while inside marble, polished wood and decorative lighting shape the rooms.
The building opened in 1812 as Mivart's Hotel, serving wealthy travelers in the Regency period. The Claridges took over management in the mid-19th century, and during the 1920s the property was rebuilt with the Art Deco design visitors see now.
The name recalls the couple who took over in the 19th century and shaped the service style that visitors experience today. Guests encounter traditional English hospitality with butler care and formal dining rooms that reflect old London society habits.
The entrance sits directly on the street corner, visible and reachable from both sides. The lobby and public areas occupy the ground floor, where visitors without a room booking can still see the architecture and furnishings.
During the Second World War, the British Parliament declared one room in this hotel temporarily Yugoslav territory so that a prince born there could claim the throne. This unusual diplomatic gesture shows how closely politics and hospitality were linked at the time.
