The very best hotel in the UK has been revealed

The world's 50 best hotels have been revealed

A panel of expert judges have revealed the inaugural list of the world’s 100 best hotels, and three of the winners are in the capital.

The hotel voted best in the UK at the annual World’s 50 Best Hotels awards at Old Billingsgate Market last night was Claridge’s, which took the 16th spot. The Art Deco Mayfair property was a favourite of Queen Victoria’s, although a recent renovation includes a modern subterranean spa . Writing in our review, we described a visit to Claridge’s as like going into “some fabulous vortex where anything might be possible if you put on enough lippy. There is simply nowhere better to get lost and cosplay your 20s dreams, but it’s the hotel’s contemporaneity that separates it from the capital’s other grand dames.”
