Claridge's is, without doubt, the Grande Dame of London hotels, so the unveiling of their new restaurant is a significant event for the capital’s dining scene. The restaurant has been re-defined as a classic brasserie that reflects the signature style of the hotel, returning the space to the timeless Art-Deco elegance for which the hotel is famed.
A beacon for the beau monde, Claridge’s became synonymous with high glamour in the 1920’s and 30’s, which was also the heyday of Art-Deco design. During those decades, the hotel, which is richly layered with fabulous characteristics of this decadent style (such as the foyer’s opulent glass screens by Art-Deco pioneer Basil Ionides), assumed its status as an Art-Deco icon.
