When it comes to timeless British style, Claridge’s is hard to beat. Located in the heart of Mayfair, the seven-storey, terracotta-faced hotel is synonymous with style and has long been an institution in the capital. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were among the first few to walk through its doors, and it has been favoured by royalty and heads of state ever since. A redesign led by C.W Stephens, who was also responsible for Harrod’s, turned it into one of London’s most prestigious hotels, a reputation it has held for over a century. The hotel’s iconic art deco style is evident as soon as you step inside, with the Foyer’s black and white geometric floor tiles, gilded mirrors and Dale Chihuly chandelier. Each of the 203 rooms and suites have been individually designed and effortlessly blend comfort and style. The impressive Prince Alexander Suite even features a Broadwood grand piano and sheet music. Simon Rogan is the mastermind behind the hotel’s Michelin-starred Fera restaurant, where the focus is on creative British cuisine that follows the seasons. The team at Claridge’s have been perfecting the art of afternoon tea for 150 years; finger sandwiches, scones and delicate pastries are served alongside a selection of carefully selected loose-leaf teas on their signature green and white striped chinaware. The Fumoir Bar is an atmospheric hideaway where classic cocktails are reinvented, forgotten drinks are brought back to life and bold new creations are served in Lalique crystal glasses. Claridge’s is a stone’s throw from London’s most prestigious shopping districts and world-class galleries, theatres and museums, while the leafy expanses of Hyde Park and St James’ Park are perfect for strolling.

Situated in Bath’s iconic Georgian Royal Crescent, this luxurious hotel is spread across two neoclassical townhouses – perfectly encapsulating English grandeur. After a revamp in 2014 the hotel offers the perfect blend of its former 18th-century style with all the modern comforts of the 21st. From the award-winning restaurant, state of the art gym, exceptional spa and its acre of pristine manicured gardens, luxury exudes in every detail here. Grand staircases lead to impressive lounges with chandeliers, and each sophisticated suite is designed in the traditional 18th century style from luxury bedding to the period paintings mounted on the walls. The hotel sits on a peaceful and residential crescent overlooking the lawns, but only a five-minute walk to the city centre, giving its guests the best of both worlds.

Built in 1666 by the 2nd Duke of Buckingham as a gift to his mistress, Cliveden House is a beautifully historic Grade I-listed building set within 376 acres of National Trust Grounds.

The house has stayed true to its roots, with antique furniture, period pieces and beautiful artwork adorning the walls. Entering the property feels like stepping back in time, but with all the modern amenities and facilities of a contemporary luxury hotel, guests can enjoy the best of both worlds. 47 rooms and suites are spacious and elegant, many coming with private terraces that look out over the courtyard and the surrounding countryside.

There is also a fitness suite as well as indoor and outdoor tennis courts.
