Had an amazing afternoon tea experience. It is very expensive, but worth it if you are on a vacation or special trip! You get refills of all sandwiches/scones/pastries included in the price. I asked for extra scones to take home with me to my hotel for breakfast the next morning (they were the best scones I’ve ever had with delicious clotted cream and jam) and they happily did so in a beautiful packaged box - at no extra charge. The food and service are top notch... Read more

Had a wonderful lunch here for a family members birthday. From doorman onwards all the staff were friendly and attentive. The choice of wine is staggering, I settled on a glass of Malbec, others had cocktails, again outstanding. Now the food.. what can I say? Probably the best steak I have ever had! Even though we were stuffed, we squeezed in desert! Well done to everyone!... Read more

The most wonderful, luxurious and decadent Afternoon treat in London.
This was our fifth year visiting this hotel and this one did not disappoint.
They just keep getting better. Quality of food, drinks and service at its very best.
Thank you so much Claridges.
See you next year. Looking forward to hearing the news about your new restaurant opening.... Read more

The interior of the hotel is fascinating. I liked my room but amenities could be improved considering the price point. This place is considered as the annex of Buckingham Palace as it is closely linked with royalty. I think the staffs considers them as Royals also thus most of their behavior is rude.... Read more

Off the charts glamour; understated, timeless beauty in every way
Confident in its values and service; a place where luxury is expressed with such confidence and knowledge that everyone feels right at home, instantly. The surprise is in how comfortable everyone is made to feel, as people, let alone as customers - regulars, new comers, locals, far away tourists, ladies who lunch, families with young kids…
Spacious sitting arrangement, pale gold light, live music for a Sunday lunch… Delicious food, amazing deserts.
May it never, ever change.... Read more

This review is for Afternoon Tea. You get what you pay for and this is the best afternoon tea. They kept bringing drinks (espresso coffee, hot chocolate made with melted chocolate, sparkling water) and food (sandwiches, scones, cakes, etc) and unlike every other tea I have been to I walked away stuff (have a large appetite, so no mean feat). Best of all there were no hidden extras, the service fee was added but no extra tips were asked for and the service was friendly throughout without being over-bearing. Would recommend. Yes it's not cheap but you get what you pay for...... Read more

Wonderful afternoon tea. We are not posh, so this was a once in a lifetime visit. Expensive but worth it. No, really. A really friendly welcome as soon as we walked in, and that ambience continued all the way through our visit.
The food is an exquisite medley of superbly prepared sandwiches. I have not tasted any sandwiches as good as these ever!
Portions are good, but not just that, it’s almost on as much as you can eat deal. We had seconds of everything it was so good. Our stomachs were not large enough to eat them - I know, greedy - but our remains were put in bespoke boxes to enjoy on the next day.
As a parting gift, we were given clotted cream fudge so good it could be sold on its own, to make the place another fortune.
Our waiter was very skilled, but his life was made easier because this is one of the few places that seem to have enough staff for their customers.
I only wish we could afford bed and breakfast here, so the Lottery beckons.
I strongly recommend saving up to come here.... Read more

When you see Claridge's you might be reminded of another Victorian building, Harrods. Not really surprising as they shared the same architect, C.W. Stephens.
Built originally in 1812 this hotel is one of the best known in London.

of Ari and Jackie Onassis, it is located in the heart of the Mayfair district.... Read more

I am very fond of Claridges and have been visiting the hotel for the past 10 years, mainly because my clients love it so much. From the beautiful decor and the wonderfully appointed guest rooms, to the excellent food and the professionalism of the staff, Claridges just gets it right. My clients can be exceptionally demanding and will accept nothing but the best and the staff here never fail to exceed expectations. If this hotel is within your budget, you have absolutely no excuse not to stay here. A haven of quintessentially British grandeur, not to be missed!... Read more

Went to Claridge's for afternoon tea. Beautiful setting and great afternoon tea.
Superb quality, selection and very knowledgeable on gluten free as well as vegan options.
The good thing is you don't need to inform them in advance of arrival of your allergies. But I did just to make sure
Their sandwiches were delicate and light which I got a second portion.
The pastries were amazing not overly sweet.
Their scones arrived warm with a good portion of clotted cream and a mixed berry and exotic fruits jam which was so nice.
Staff were as expected to be friendly and attentive.

We also ordered 3 types of tea (included in price). the waiter always asked if we want some more sandwiches or sweets. Best scones and the jelly jam is just addicted!

Has to be my favourite hotel in London. One of the best in the world for service! The quality of staff is spot on. Even someone to take you up in an old style lift which is unchanged for decades, the last lift attendant in London. Great bar area, maybe best to book during high season, maybe breakfast by the fire reading the paper? At Christmas they always have the best Christmas tree and decorations in the main hall..... worth a look if you are passing and cant get a booking.... Read more

Excellent Self Indulging Experience. We've never been before and didn't know what to expect. The website is good but the time slot booking method just hints at conveyor belt experience. This couldn't have been further from the truth. From the moment we were greeted the experience was wonderful. Of course the food was great but the whole thing was made special by the waiting staff who were brilliant. The young lady serving my wife and I could not have been more professional or friendly and totally made our day. There was fine live music playing and actually everything was much more relaxing than envisaged. As a very special occasion it will be hard to top this if at all possible. Excellent. Superb....

I've never been here before and we wanted to check it out before I left London. Owing to the fact it's near Xmas time, they had lots of lovely trees and Xmas displays which really gave you a winter feel. (I personally do not do Christmas, but I did appreciate their decor)
I would recommend both their bars as one is a great place for an informal meet with friends and the other a great place to take your in-laws or hold a business meet.... Read more

I had afternoon tea here and honestly it was a let down. It was just fine. The food was good, sandwiches were nice and plentiful, but for what I paid for it was definitely not worth it. The service was spotty, and my tea was not getting refilled properly. I got two servers, and the lady who was serving me was kinda rude (the gentleman was lovely though). I had more enjoyable experience and service at cheaper afternoon tea options. If you are looking for a high end style of afternoon tea, I don't think this will be what you are looking for because I was definitely expecting a 5 star experience and this wasn't it.... Read more

Had afternoon tea with my daughter as a treat for my birthday. Couldn’t have been more special. Attendant was polite,discreet, knowledgeable and explained everything to us as the tea progressed. Accommodated my gluten free request with ease, very special cakes and treats to enjoy. Sandwiches were a delight and the scones were exquisite, being perfectly sized and not too large, like some. The Marco Polo jam was sublime beautifully flavoured and my daughters request for no fish was accepted without question. Gorgeous china, silverware and glassware, non alcoholic sparkling champagne on offer, ideal for those who do not wish to drink during the daytime. My Laurent Perrier rose perfectly chilled and again sublime.

Visited Foyer for afternoon tea. Quite cozy, still very much classy. Not like other Foyers in 5 star hotels in London, they had ups and downs. But I assure you here you would find the very best tea experience. Perhaps I would have to admit I was lucky to have such exceptional server for us, could be different in every case like other services, I even feel like to have time to send compliment letter for her only if I know how. Other than that, their clotted cream is by far the world best, jellies and scones were very nice as well. Other dishes were moderate, especially the sandwich was almost wet. Place was little crowded.... Read more

Afternoon tea here was amazing. This is a very upmarket hotel, clearly, and this is reflected in the quality of the sandwiches, cakes and tea on offer.
Went to afternoon tea and loved it at the Ritz and at Harrods (before it changed). I feel that Claridges distinguishes itself from other highly rated afternoon tea experiences by focusing on the customer experience, which it did absolutely brilliantly. The staff were incredible in their knowledge, passion and attentiveness both in the process of booking and most importantly for the couple of hours my wife and I came to dine.
Would recommend this experience, although not cheap, well worth it no doubt... Read more

A level of service and friendliness that I have not seen matched by any hotel in the world.
I’ve been to many 5 star, luxury hotels: The Waldorf Astoria, The Plaza, Intercontinental Hong Kong, and about 10 different Four Seasons in Europe- all are luxurious and amazing, but Claridges is a cut above because of its people! The employees are the best. They genuinely care about exceptional service. Too many “little things” to mention.

You would think that a place like Claridge’s where it is very difficult to get a booking for afternoon tea would offer something out of the ordinary. Unfortunately for me and my family this was not the case. We arrived with 2 children (aged 4 and 1). Both had been asleep in the car so were a bit teary and crying. The manager in the afternoon tea area approached us and said that if the children did not stop crying we would have to leave! We eventually got them to stop after much coaxing and bribery but were offered very little help with this. When our tea arrived it was ok, nothing particularly special and the service was slow. I had to repeatedly ask for a refill of my tea.
I have now amended my rating to reflect the management’s response to my rating and separate concern in an email. The manager has acknowledged their shortcomings, recompensed us and invited us back to retry the Claridge’s Afternoon Tea experience. The response was very quick and they were apologetic. Whilst I cannot give them a 5 star rating I have increased my score because they have appreciated our disappointment and addressed it appropriately. You can’t ask for more than that from any company.... Read more

I mean it's total indulgence. Nobody needs that level of attentiveness or care. It's the over and above that sets this place apart. The staff care about what they do and how you feel.

The 3 course set lunch was a very reasonable price and enjoyable (not wow/amazing but enjoyable) but the drinks are where the costs go. I made the mistake of asking for still water not tap and a small bottle cost £7. The wine was of good quality but pretty damn expensive. Overall a nice experience but once is probably enough....

The best afternoon tea in London - and I have done a few. Exquisite service - nothing is too much trouble. The staff are knowledgeable about what they serve and will do their utmost so you have the perfect experience. Their food is consistently outstanding - I am particularly partial to their egg sandwich - they manage to elevate this simple thing to a delicacy. Their tea selection is thoughtfully chosen so there are both classic choices as well as interesting teas you could not taste anywhere else. My favourite anecdote: we were served a beautiful tea jelly with our scones, and having loved it I got curious and asked the waiter: 'which other jams would you have?', and he answered with a confident tone 'which jam would YOU like?....

My favourite anecdote: we were served a beautiful tea jelly with our scones, and having loved it I got curious and asked the waiter: 'what other jams would you have?', and he answered with a confident tone 'what would YOU like?....

Absolutely amazing afternoon tea and service! Unfortunately I forgot the name of the gentleman who served us (he was from Budapest) but I wanted to thank him for making my mum's visit to London. Service was exceptional and even the gluten free tea looked just as fabulous as the "normal" one. I'm so glad I finally made it after waiting for so long to get a space!... Read more

Like always this hotel never fails to disappoint its customers.
Impeccable service, classy decor and scrumptious food and fine drinks makes this hotel one of the best in the world. I immensely enjoy coming back here, for just drinks, dinner and on some occasions to stay over night. Wonderful gem in London. Regards TW.... Read more

Everything is fabulous, starting with their afternoon tea, to the bar and to the restaurant.
The afternoon tea is exactly as how I imagine most people would enjoy it: impeccable service, fine china, silver teapots, and a great selection of teas, tasty pastries and wonderfully prepared sandwiches. Both young and old can enjoy the afternoon tea here.
The champagne high tea is worth recommending, but if you’re not in the mood for afternoon tea, pop in to the bar for an expertly prepared drink, or go all-out with a dinner at the restaurant. You won’t be disappointed by either of these choices...
Do dress smartly and avoid sneakers and t-shirts (not only to get better service / a table, but also for your fellow guests) as it only adds to the atmosphere.... Read more

We have dined in the restaurant, had Afternoon Tea and visited both cocktail bars at this stunning hotel in the heart of central London. One of the most luxurious hotels in London, every visit to this hotel feels like a special occasion. The service, surroundings and quality of food and beverages is exceptional as one might expect. Claridge’s Afternoon Tea is our No. 1 favourite of all the Afternoon Tea experiences we have sampled in London.... Read more

Fantastic experience, staff were excellent and looked after our every need without making us feel as though we were being awkward. Very attentive without feeling as though they were hovering over us all the time! Cannot recommend highly enough, we had afternoon tea, and the food was delicious as well!! Expensive, sure - but you really get what you pay for. This is how it should be done, totally worth the money!!!... Read more

I was lucky enough to stay in a couple of suites including the Royal Suite.
At £2200 per night it wasn't cheap, though I'm told this was a special price. However, I can say it was absolutely worth it.
Stunning!!! Food, service, space, decor, location, ambience. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect.
Saw Kanye West casually, know I was in the right place!!
Restaurants are good too!
Only downside - the piano in my room was not kept tuned - I hired the suite to use the piano. So I had to tune it myself.
Otherwise great.... Read more

I went for Afternoon Tea. I had a lot of expectations due to hearing lots of praise about it being the "best" in London; sadly, it didn't reach those expectations. Decorations were very beautiful, the tea selection was wide and full of options, and the desserts were great! However, the sandwiches are for particular tastes. And lastly, they had great scones. The service was excellent; and, the prices are what would you expect out of a 5-Star hotel. ... Read more

This is just a review for afternoon tea. I can't rave enough about this place. I accidentally arrived a day after my reservation. I was so embarrassed and apologetic, but they sat us that day anyway! They were extremely gracious. The service was overall amazing. And so was the food. Each little sandwich was delicious. We wanted to eat more, but were so full by the time we finished the sandwiches. The scones were tasty, and every cake was sooo good. I wish we could had infinite stomachs so we could eat more! I would definitely go back to have tea at Claridge's. Except I'll actually get the reservation day correct next time.... Read more

Afternoon Tea.
Simply the finest tea I've had anywhere on the world. It was well worth the £80 p.p. There is no competition at this level to compare it with. This is afternoon tea on the world stage that is worth paying for. Some of the rarest teas on the world in limited batches are served here like nowhere else on earth. Evening meals are superb and the accommodation is home. The way every home should be. Staff are brilliant at their jobs and the history is outstanding.
