Mayfair King Room

The Mayfair King Room celebrates all the history of Claridge’s, pairing original features with contemporary touches.

Our Mayfair King category draws on the design and motifs from the hotel’s past, and includes rooms in traditional and art deco style. The former feature period details such as gilded cornices, while the latter are inspired by the fashions and patterns of the 1930s. This attention to detail continues in the polished marble bathrooms where the taps and brassware have been custom made to an original Claridge’s design. Amenities include flat screen TVs and air conditioning, with some rooms also offering USB charging points.

Claridge’s has held a strong royal connection since the 1860s and it was during this time that Queen Victoria and her dear friend Empress Eugenie, wife of Napoleon III and Empress of France, visited Claridge’s. When The Empress set sail across the Channel to Claridge’s, her home away from home, her Mistress of Robes – The Duchess of Rivoli – was always by her side.

Our unique Mayfair King, the Duchess of Rivoli Room, echoes the traditional design and French flair of the Empress Eugenie Suite. The Duchess of Rivoli Room was inspired by the Duchess herself, along with the garments and jewellery that she chose for The Empress.
