Claridges Hotel London A lesson in modern style and tradition
With a 5 star luxury hotel like Claridges which is in Mayfair I would expect it to be spectacular. But Claridges Hotel is very different from the others. When you have almost 200 years of history behind you, a true standard is expected. That’s why Claridges is so special.
What is striking about this hotel is the sense of supreme style. Instead of building piecemeal, the layout was designed and engineered as an integrated experience. The Art Deco design of the 1920’s melds beautifully with the contemporary touch given to the renovated parts of the building. But, it never loses its original character. This is probably due to big-name designers like David Collins and New York architect Thierry Despont.
Features abound at the hotel, including:
Etched glass screens:
Designed at the time by Basil Ionides, an innovative Art Deco designer, these beautiful screens have proudly held their place in the renovated Gordon Ramsay At Claridges restaurant.
Chandelier at Claridges Bar:
A David Collins recreation based on an original design. Hanging from a ceiling of silver leaves, this spectacular green glass chandelier takes pride of place in Claridges Bar.
Dale Chuilly Sculpture:
A silver-white light sculpture in The Foyer that has been extensively restored, this spectacular centerpiece takes pride of place. Eighteen feet long and 800 pieces of hand-blown glass make this sculpture something truly special.
