Claridge's Champagne Bar, London

<p><b>Claridge's</b> is a 5-star hotel at the corner of <a href="/pages/w/112719242072670">Brook Street</a> and Davies Street in Mayfair, London. It has long-standing connections with royalty that have led to it sometimes being referred to as an "annexe to <a href="/pages/w/109943272365076">Buckingham Palace</a>".</p><h2>History</h2><p>Claridge's was founded in 1812 as Mivart's Hotel, in a conventional London <a href="/pages/w/108116509217217">terraced house</a>, and grew by expanding into neighbouring houses. In 1854, the founder (the father of biologist <a href="/pages/w/105621196139284">St. George Jackson Mivart</a>) sold the hotel to a Mr and Mrs Claridge, who owned a smaller hotel next door. They combined the two operations, and after trading for a time as "Mivart's at Claridge's", they settled on the current name. The reputation of the hotel was confirmed in 1860 when <a href="/pages/w/123294154381824">Empress Eugenie</a> made an extended visit and entertained <a href="/pages/w/108330732529052">Queen Victoria</a> at the hotel.</p><p><a href="/pages/w/142228782456551">Richard D'Oyly Carte</a>, the theatrical impresario and founder of the rival <a href="/pages/w/137359542951985">Savoy Hotel</a>, purchased Claridge's in 1894, as part of The Savoy Group, and shortly afterwards demolished the old buildings and replaced them with the present ones. This was prompted by the need to install modern facilities such as <a href="/pages/w/112722745409008">lifts</a> and <a href="/pages/w/106471679390604">en suite</a> bathrooms. The new Claridge's, built by <a href="/pages/w/111911025492013">George Trollope & Sons</a>, opened in 1898. It is a Grade II <a href="/pages/w/1413734828863883">listed building</a>. The hotel has 203 rooms and suites.</p>
