London is full of allure and charm so it's no wonder one of the oldest and grandest hotels is a go-to favourite fit for royals and celebrities.

Claridge's hotel in Mayfair still ranks as one of the world's top places to stay - and named as one of the 50 greatest luxury hotels on Earth by luxury lifestyle guide Robb Report.

It's the only UK hotel to make the cut, and came in impressively at third place, just behind Florence’s Collegio alla Querce in second, and Rosewood Amsterdam in first place. The historic five-star hotel was opened in 1821, and has been home to many iconic names including Queen Victoria and Kate Moss.

The hotel has 269 rooms, all fit for royalty, as well as a subterranean spa, a fancy gym and two very prestigious restaurants, making it a seriously luxurious place to lay your head.

Robb Report said: "This grande dame of the London hotel scene is a beloved, determinedly British institution that’s been part of English life for decades, yet it retains a youthful vigor."

Claridge's has one of the most expensive suites to book in London called the Royal Suite. A one-night stay in the regal room will set you back a staggering £21,600, but it's your chance to live like royalty for the day. The Royal Suite does luxury in an old-school way, decked out with regal and historical motifs throughout.

From design elements reflecting the coronation of the late Queen Elizabeth II, to an original Gilbert and Sullivan grand piano in the lounge, and hand-painted national flowers by the artisans of de Gournay lining the dining room.

There is also a round-the-clock butler for all your needs during your stay. For a regular balcony room, prices start from around £1,269 per night, and while it's pricey, guests have rated it an impressive 9.6 star rating.

One visitor said: "This was our first time at Claridges. Everything was top notch, our room 521 was stunning, a massive room with a really good size balcony. It's not cheap, but, treat yourselves. Life's short. We have already started saving again for another visit."

A second commented: "The best place on earth. Luxurious, yet warm and welcoming. Staff and service like no other! 2nd to none!!"

And a third said: "We had a wonderful 2-night stay. The hotel was superb and the staff were impeccable. The experience we had in the hotel restaurants and bars was amazing."
