Marylebone Hotel

The Kimpton Fitzroy London hotel spans an entire block of a grand street that leads onto the leafy Russell Square. The building blends 19th-century architecture and decor with a contemporary and chic aesthetic within the interior. The building's rich folklore and astrological heritage has been reflected in the spectacular lobby which feels like stepping into a magical film set. 

Located in the heart of the West End, the Langham has been welcoming guests since 1865 and is one of London’s most iconic hotels.

There are 380 rooms and suite, each one impeccably designed and the perfect mix of Victorian charm and contemporary style. Sumptuous fabrics, elegant furnishings and large marble bathrooms characterise the sophisticated rooms, which also enjoy plenty of natural light. The terrace suites feature private balconies which overlook bustling Regent’s Street.

Guests are spoiled for choice when it comes to dining. At Roux at The Landau, father and son duo Albert and Michel Roux Jr have come together to bring their legendary culinary expertise and creativity. The vaulted wine cellar is home to a selection of rare wines from around the world, the perfect accompaniment to the beautifully
presented dishes.

The Palm Court offers light dining throughout the day, as well as a decadent afternoon tea where cakes, pastries, delicate finger sandwiches and scones are served on a tiered cake stand.Artesian bar, named after the original 360ft-deep well located under the hotel, is the perfect place for an expertly mixed cocktail or glass of champagne in the evening.

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.
