Claridge's Chauffeur
A hotel that has hosted deposed European kings does not need a guest arriving by rideshare. A Claridge’s chauffeur booking is built around the same standard the hotel itself keeps, a doorman who knows your name before you reach the step, and a driver who is already there when you walk out.

From Mivart's Lodging House to the Royal Hostelry
The hotel began in 1812 as Mivart’s, a lodging house on Brook Street run by a French chef named James Mivart. William and Marianne Claridge, who ran the hotel next door at number 49, eventually took the business over, and by 1856 the combined property carried their name alone. Queen Victoria’s 1840 wedding drew enough European royalty through the door that Claridge’s became known as the Royal Hostelry, an unofficial annexe to Buckingham Palace for visiting crowned heads.
The Art Deco Rebuild
Richard D’Oyly Carte, founder of the Savoy, bought Claridge’s in 1893 and rebuilt it almost entirely by 1898. The Art Deco interiors most visitors now associate with the hotel came later, added through the 1920s by designer Basil Ionides and the Brook Street entrance by architect Oswald Milne in 1929.
A Basement Dug by Hand
Between 2016 and 2021, a five-level basement was excavated 22 metres beneath the Art Deco extension, largely by hand, so the hotel could keep operating without disturbing guests upstairs. The work added a penthouse with its own pool and a 1,800 square foot grand salon.
How Your Claridge's Chauffeur Journey Works
Coordinated With the Doorman
We confirm your pickup time with Claridge's own front-of-house team, so your chauffeur is called forward the moment you're ready.
Loaded on Brook Street
Luggage is handled at the kerb by your chauffeur, working alongside hotel staff rather than around them.
Straight to Your Destination
Whether that's Heathrow, another hotel or an evening reservation, we confirm the route and timing before you leave the suite.

What Our Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a taxi rank directly outside Claridge's?
There is no dedicated rank on Brook Street. The doorman can hail a black cab, but a pre-booked chauffeur avoids the wait entirely and is confirmed with the front desk in advance.
How far in advance should I book?
We can usually accommodate same-day requests, but confirming the evening before guarantees your preferred vehicle, particularly during the London Season.
Can you collect me directly from Heathrow to the hotel?
Yes, we track your flight and adjust pickup automatically, driving you directly to the Brook Street entrance.
Do you offer fixed prices regardless of traffic?
Yes, every journey is quoted at a fixed price in advance, agreed before you travel.
Can you arrange transport for a larger family group?
Yes, our Mercedes V-Class suits families in the hotel’s larger suites, and we can arrange multiple vehicles for bigger parties.
Can you combine a hotel transfer with a shopping trip on Bond Street?
Yes, Bond Street sits two minutes from the hotel, and we can arrange a wait-and-return booking around it.
Do you cover evening dinner reservations nearby?
Yes, we regularly arrange transfers to Mayfair’s Michelin-starred restaurants, most a short drive or walk from the hotel.
Can you collect me on my return journey to the hotel?
Yes, we track your inbound flight and adjust pickup automatically for the return to Claridge’s.
