The Brook Street Art Deco grande dame — afternoon tea in the Foyer, a Foyer Bar by Bryan O'Sullivan, and the most famous lobby in London.
Claridge's has been the alternative to the Connaught for a century, and the choice tends to come down to temperament: more theatrical, more public, more Art Deco glamour, more recognisable. The Foyer afternoon tea is still the institution it has always been; the new(ish) Painter's Room and the restored Foyer Bar are more interesting than the headline restaurant. The lobby alone is worth the stay.
The Foyer afternoon tea is the institution but the Painter's Room cocktails are the better way in if you are not staying. Book a Brook Penthouse for the terrace; the rooftop view is genuinely Mayfair-rare.
