Step into a World of Timeless Elegance at The Foyer & Reading Room

For many, the magic of Claridge’s begins in The Foyer. Beneath a stunning Chihuly chandelier and surrounded by shimmering Art Deco mirrors, guests are transported to a world of style and sophistication. Live piano music sets the tone as you enjoy a refined lunch, decadent dinner, or an inventive twist on a classic cocktail.

Just beyond, the Reading Room offers a more intimate experience. With plush banquettes, attentive service, and a menu that blends classic and contemporary cuisine—including our signature Lobster Wellington—it’s a haven for conversation and celebration.

For over 150 years, The Foyer & Reading Room has delighted guests with timeless charm, exquisite flavours, and unforgettable moments. Come and experience it for yourself.

    WONDERFUL OLD FASHION CHARM, WITH EXCELLENT FOOD, SERVICE AND AMBIENCE. WE WERE MILDLY SKEPTICAL ABOUT HOW STUFFY IT MIGHT BE BUT WERE ABSOLUTELY CHARMED BY THE WONDERFUL STAFF WHO WERE DEEPLY WELCOMING, ACCOMMODATING AND ATTENTIVE. THE HOTEL LOBBY AND THE FOYER ARE RESPLENDENT IN EARLY 20TH CHARM AND ELEGANCE, AND ALL ASPECTS OF THE MEAL AND THE DINING EXPERIENCE WERE METICIULOUS. WE WILL MAKE IT A REGULAR SPOT FOR BREAKFAST WHEN WE ARE IN LONDON.
