The official history of Claridge's hotel: the extraordinary story of how a hotel became an international icon.
There is no hotel in the world quite like Claridge's. The epitome of luxury, style and excellence it has, from its earliest days, showcased the finest traditions of British hospitality while continuously demonstrating a genius for innovation and renewal. For generations of Royalty, the cognoscenti and celebrity alike, it has been the best - indeed, the only - place to stay in London.
Its claim to be considered the Queen of Hotels and the Hotel of Kings is one that few would dispute.
In this comprehensive, lively and superbly readable account, Martin Williams invites readers to check in to the world's most famous hotel and immerse in the unique history of a London landmark. He evokes the glamour and excitement of each chapter in Claridge's unfolding story while taking us behind the scenes to explain why it is, for all who know and love it, both a legend and a way of life.
