What better way to indulge in a luxurious Christmas than at one of London’s (and perhaps the world’s) most iconic hotels? Always going all out for Christmas, this year sees some new and returning experiences coming to Claridge’s.
A Louis Vuitton-Designed Christmas Tree
Yep, you heard it right! This year, Claridge’s anticipated tree will be designed by Louis Vuitton and unveiled in the lobby Nov. 23, with illustrious names behind the inspiration of the tree’s design.
The hotel launches a three-night stay offering for festive moments. Guests are welcomed with a bottle of Champagne, yuletide treats and their own Christmas tree in a one-bedroom or signature suite. Guests of the offer with children can enjoy children’s entertainers like Sharkey & George, who will host activities and crafts on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Mince pies and carrots await for the kids to place on the mantelpiece for Santa and his reindeer. This offer also includes a horse-drawn carriage ride around Mayfair with hot chocolate and marshmallows and a Christmas lunch in Claridge’s Restaurant, French Salon or Drawing Room. Guests of the offer also enjoy English breakfast each morning of the stay, guaranteed 2 p.m. check-out and Christmas morning carols.
Decked-Out Holiday Décor
The hotel’s Christmas tree won’t be the only festive piece adorning Claridge’s. From twinkling lights to wreaths to stockings found throughout the hotel, guests won’t help but feel the holiday spirit in full force.
Claridge’s will feature Christmas Eve, Christmas Day lunch, Christmas Day dinner and New Year’s Eve menus this season. Christmas Eve menu highlights include roasted turkey breast with stuffing and bread sauce; roasted breast of goose with Jerusalem artichokes and pickled blueberries; and salmon en croûte with wild mushrooms and Champagne sauce. And don’t miss out on classic Claridge’s Christmas pudding with brandy Anglaise.

Sep 6, 2024Escape to Tahiti for a Captivating Island-Hopping Cruise
The 118 islands of French Polynesia reveal themselves layer by fascinating layer, with the spirit of mana (vital force) linking them all the way from Tahiti to the remote reaches of the Marquesas. This is part of the world best savored on a journey that dives as deep into culture as natural beauty, both above and below the water’s surface. A cruise makes it easy to cover a lot of ground while unpacking just once (and sneaking in some work done in comfort, too, during at-sea days). And cruising offers particular appeal within this semi-autonomous French territory sprawling across nearly 2 million square miles of ocean and covering five archipelagos.

Sep 4, 2024The Shelbourne Review
Facing the vast St. Stephen’s Green in the heart of Dublin sits the iconic and historic The Shelbourne. Few hotels master the perfect blend of history and luxury, but The Shelbourne gets it right. The site of the signing of the Irish Constitution in 1922 granting the Republic of Ireland its freedom from England, The Shelbourne has hosted its fair share of notable figures, from Michael Collins to Princess Grace Kelly to John Ford, the latter of which was the name of my suite.
