"If the Ritz is for those who like people to know how they’re spending their money, Claridge’s is for those who prefer a touch of discretion. Nestled in the back streets of Mayfair, it is arguably London’s classiest act, an aristocratic outpost that refuses to be anything other than itself. From the top-hatted doormen to the liveried waiters, it’s a hotel that maintains a high level of decorum, and you don’t have to splash the cash to stay here to experience it,come for thefamous afternoon tea served on jade-and-white striped china."
