I went on a spontaneous solo lunch date to one of London's Iconic Hotels. I go to London often and rarely do anything touristy until now. I love hotels so what better way to experience a hotel than to go to a restaurant or bar.
Claridges is a well known iconic London hotel and it didn't disappoint.
From the moment I arrived the staff were welcoming and helpful. No waiting no side eye just great service with a smile. I didn't feel out of place I was even offered the papers to read when I arrived.
I had a mineral broth which had fresh herbs, tofu rice noodles very nice and light. It was hot so heavy food was not for me but a full a la carte menu was available. The chocolates and fruit jellies were delicious and complementary I was trying to be good but who could say no to chocolates! It was very reasonable price I thought.
Afternoon tea is very popular at Claridges and gets booked up months in advance so this is a great hack to have a light lunch or visit a bar when you get the attention of staff without crowds which adds to the experience. Great for a girls meetup. 10/10
I would definitely do this again and will check out some other hotels in London when I visit.
