The Langham London

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. 

Surrounded by fashion boutiques and upmarket eateries, this luxury hotel in Marylebone Village is just minutes from trendy and bustling Oxford Street.

Art, culture and design play important roles in the hotel’s aesthetic lending the public spaces and 257 rooms and suites a vibrant charm. Contemporary and antique furnishings and art add character. The three London suites feature private terraces and offer impressive views of the city.

Dine at 108 Brasserie and 108 Pantry, or end the day with a cocktail or two at 108 Bar. Menus feature seasonal cuisine and local ingredients. Expect your meal to be relaxed, yet still stylish.

Take care of your body and mind with fresh juices and smoothies and spend time in the Third Space gym, wellness centre and spa.

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.
