Claridge’s

Claridge’s stands on Brook Street. It is a ten-minute walk from the Royal Academy of Arts.

The hotel remains more restrained than its Mayfair peers, which rely on flashy modern aesthetics to compete. While the rooms and bars here lean into a traditional, polished register, the real reason to choose this address is its proximity to the galleries and shopping near Bond Street. It offers a calmer alternative to the heavy foot traffic found elsewhere in the district, acting as a quiet base for those who prefer heritage over the latest design trends.
