That cloth on the back of the headboard is an antimacassar which people put on the back of anywhere people’s heads rest. It goes back to the days when men used to grease their hair, saves the furniture from being stained. My dear late Mummy had them on the back of all the chairs at home. We had doilies on all serving plates, coasters in saucers and lace tablecloths on all tables too. My parents, especially Mummy, certainly knew the best, even though we lived in a council house! ☺️

This hotel is a physical personification of “old money”. Every little aspect is sheer perfection and done in perfect taste and it’s absolutely marvelous without bordering on pretentious or tacky. A perfect example is the bedding… He made the comment as to how it was a missed opportunity that they didn’t have the Claridge’s initials on the bedding like what’s on the drawer knobs etc. but that would be tacky and very new money. Real class and real money is understated and never in your face or pretentious and they have mastered that completely! I can honestly say that in my 38 years of life this is the first hotel where I truly feel that the room rates are 100% justified and worth it! Claridge’s is so much more than a hotel it’s a lifestyle and a legacy! 👍🏽

The 1925 style of the hotel is called 'Art Déco'. Art Déco was the name of the 1925 Art Décoratifs Show in Paris. It was inspired by the then-upcoming luxury cruisers and the hotel's colours also reflect that era: beige, black, white. Many things resemble the 'cruiser' style, up to the majestic bed.

I can understand what he means when he says he sees hospital or cheap cruise ship vibes in it, but that's the fault of cheap copies of cheap copies of what was high-end style in the 1920s or 30s echoing down through the 60s to the 80s. I do have to applaud Claridge's for sticking to the style of what I'm sure was a dramatic modernist renovation 100 years ago but is now a quite unique version of historicism. I doubt a lot of that hallway furniture is original, I'm sure they've been collecting and maintaining appropriate antiques at great expense, and the resulting character that varies at every turn is outstanding. The hotel absolutely oozes class in a way that very few 21st century hotels seem to understand.

Dear Tim, I have enjoyed a few of your Luxury hotel videos, but notice you often describe mirrors as being dirty. May I kindly point out that the mirrors are most often antique and the mirrors are therefore slightly cloudy due very often to the silver backing deteriorating over many years giving a slightly cloudy and sometimes speckled appearance. In actual fact many people will ask for a ‘faux’ antiqued appearance to a mirror. I bought a huge Venetian mirror for a bathroom and it was a feature I loved. Best wishes ❤

After watching the whole vlog I understand why you said you were shocked. It is an extremely nice hotel, happy you showed everything. I lived around the corner on N. Audley street, 5 bedroom flat, top 3 floors with 4 other U.S. Navy women in 1977. Could see Selfridges from the windows, I loved every minute of living there. I just subscribed.

Enjoy the videos but some of the commentary so wrong! Dirty mirror in the lobby! It’s not dirty, it’s antique glass! The medallions aren’t medallions, they are Madeleines, a French cake/pastry

That "lift" is truly amazing! Loved it. You two are so much fun. Thank you for making this video. It's really nice to see what these ritzy places are like, knowing that I'll probably never be in one! I wondered how you liked the shower or the tub. I remember one video you did where the tub took forever to drain!!! I like how you describe everything. Can't wait to see your next video!

What a wonderful review. This hotel reminds me of what The Royal Swazi Spa Valley Resort in Eswatini alluded to under the Sun International brand - wonderful staircases, balcony views, fine dining experiences and professional staff. Steeped in history and the Elizabethan experience. We all need to experience our higher selves, even if it is just a lunch or dinner in this atmosphere. Our kids need to experience it too. "Decorum and manners that maketh the man, dear chap". Love it.❤

Lovely video and thank you for sharing with us. I love London and would so enjoy staying at Claridge’s. Maybe someday!!! All the thoughtful gestures in the room especially with a baby! So nice. Very civilized!!!

I would love to see Acessible Rooms in these high end Hotels... The chairs dotted down hallways a game changer if you have moblity problems to rest but they go fashion over functionality as many do not have armrests.

Well another great video. Such a lovely family! Now comparing this hotel over the Savoy it’s miles apart. Goes to show how the staircases can be made to look spectacular. Unlike the Damp at the savoy. Out of sight out of mind attitude? But at £1.600 a night the stairs should look that good. These videos certainly help you choose the correct place to stay and dine. Although all expensive at least you wouldn’t waste money knowing what you receive per hotel. Only possible because of yourselfs doing that on our behalf let’s say. Thanks again for such a quality enjoyable video.!!

I have to say that I never watch a video all the way through, but this time, I did. Well done and I love your relaxed and informal approach. What a sweet thing too to tell your wife how elegant she looks and to think of renewing your vows in the ball room.

Tim's quote of the day "It's a bit like Britannia Hotels, but in better nick" 🤣
@roboliver99809 ай бұрын
Sadly there is a great deal of truth in that. A lot of Britannia hotels are former grand old establishments. Unfortunately their not being in Mayfair is a major drawback

I was just thinking to myself I don’t think I’m quite going to Claridges tonight but soon - and then your video appeared less than an hour later out of the blue and here I am walking around there. That’s as close as the law of attraction would take me. 💖 So thank you!
