Claridge's bar

Claridge's seriously stylish bar plays host to many of London's movers and shakers in Mayfair's heart.

Designed by David Collins, the original Art Deco features are beautifully complemented by a silver-leafed ceiling, green glass chandelier and red leather banquettes. Each shiny round table is decorated with a single dark red rose.
