Old Money - £250+
Claridges
— When money doesn't matter, this has to be an excellent example of British cool. Its all shiny, glistening and you won't have a problem with room service at this hotel. I believe Claridges combines old English traditions such as afternoon tea with modern and contemporary touches such as the groovy Champagne Bar. The rooms were designed by David Linley and are favoured by the likes of Kate Moss and anyone who just want to enjoy a luxurious times in the heart of Mayfair. And of course you have Gordon Ramsay's restaurant, a great spa and beauty salon and other little surprises. There are no standard rooms, just superior, expect to pay from £279.00.
Rooms: 203 bedrooms and suites, all individual but modern comforts such as digital quality films 24-hour internet access.
A fitness and Beauty centre complete with a wide range of treatments and massages. Bookings encourage for Gordon Ramsay's Claridges Restaurant.

The Savoy
— There is no more famous a hotel than the Savoy (well perhaps their sister hotel, Claridges) but this hotels has greeted the likes of Winston Churchill who dined once a week, many a pop and movie star, even Claude Monet painted the Rives Thames from his room.
You will have to wait until May 2009 until we can show you the rooms after the £100 million renovation. But if you would like an 'early bird' rate let us know.
