"One of London’s most celebrated hotels, Claridge’s dates to 1812, yet remains timeless. The downstairs art deco lobby features black and white geometric marble floors and fluted columns. The hotel’s biggest news is the recent addition of a three-floor, 7,000-square-foot subterranean spa with Japanese design elements. Guest rooms are in either an art deco or classic English style, updated by contemporary designers. The hotel includes several dining and drinking outlets." - Laura Dannen Redman, Charu Suri, Sandra Ramani, Katherine LaGrave, Jennifer Flowers, Laura Holt
