"Opulent institutions in Paris, Rome, Vienna and Switzerland all made the cut, but the number one spot went to London's very own Claridge's. Clara said: 'Claridge's has been a Mayfair institution for over a century, and at Christmas it's at its best. Art Deco marble gleams underneath garlands, afternoon teas are served beneath twinkling lights, and the atmosphere is so royal you half expect William or Kate to stroll past (it wouldn't be the first time).'"
"The hotel runs a three-night festive package that runs from December 23 or 24 and includes mince pies and carrots for kids to place on the mantlepiece, a visit from Father Christmas and his elves, carol singing, a horse-drawn carriage ride around Mayfair and, of course, a hearty Christmas lunch. But the best thing about the luxury hotel at this time of year is its famous Christmas tree display, which has become a cultural event in itself."
Claridge's in Mayfair has been named the most Christmassy hotel in Europe for 2025. The hotel showcases Art Deco interiors, seasonal garlands and twinkling lights, and serves festive afternoon teas. A three-night festive package over December 23–24 includes mince pies and carrots for children, a visit from Father Christmas and elves, carol singing, a horse-drawn carriage ride around Mayfair and a substantial Christmas lunch. The hotel's holiday highlight is its annual designer-decorated lobby Christmas tree. The 16ft fir for 2025 was revealed on November 25 and is adorned with 600 bows made from surplus Burberry fabric, hanging bells and thistles.
