Inside Claridges

Last year Claridges produced a TV programme showing the general public around and inside Claridges, the world’s most quintessentially British hotel in the world.

Their philosophy is 'never say no' - whatever the guest asks for, the guest will receive, no matter how bazaar it may be.

Actor Robert Downey Jnr demanded that his suite be turned into a vast personal gym. Ayumi Hamasaki – Japan’s answer to Britney Spears – insisted on her bath being replaced by a £15,000 Jacuzzi. An Arabic princess wanted the entire third floor transformed into a makeshift palace.

Staff at Claridges go to such extreme lengths to provide guests with the best service they could ever imagine to receive, staff for example, iron the creases out of newspapers.

Below is an article from the Mail Online by Adam Lee Potter - it is definitely worth a read on a Saturday morning. It is amusing yet impressive as to the heights this hotel goes to give the guest what they want.

Many of Silver Swans clients are regular guests at Claridges - are you able to provide a comparable service in your villa or chalet . . . .?
