Anyone watching this now on BBC?
They have a suite that costs a mere ...............................
£6900 per night!!!!!! :o :o :o :o :o
or if that's a bit on the pricey side, you can have afternoon tea for just £50 per person! ;D ;D ;D

I tend to use the Premier Inn at County Hall which is similarly priced. ;) ;) ;D ;D

£6900? That must have been a late deal offer. Two nights and Joan Collins thrown in.
I liked the bit where the red carpet was rolled back for the passing woman and pram. ;D

Claridges is lovely, I've had afternoon tea there twice, and stayed once in the past 3 months. It is expensive, but the attention to detail, as illustrated is intense.
Imagine though the bill for the 48 or so rooms booked by one party ;D

Yeh, when you put it like that perhaps we should have a re think, we tend to book a couple of weeks each summer but is getting a bit samey, maybe time to look around for next year.... :y :y

Charged to your company then? ::) ::) ::) And we thought that we were being a bit extravagant the other year when we had tea in Betty's in Harrogate ::) ::)

;D I just take a wig and 'do a runner' before they've noticted.
It's a treat, it can be awkward asking or allowing people to do things for you, you would ordinarily do yourself, but it's part and parcel of the experience. If you're polite and courteous to the staff it works well. Of course there are the people that demand, and swagger around in a 'I own the world way', but they soon learn their errors...notably from other guests.

Now you're talking. :o :o Do they supply the hand wipes as well. ;) ;) ;D ;D Oh sorry, you probably didn't mean that did you Josh. :-[ :-[ ;D ;D

i watched that program with great interest. Yes it is expensive and no I wouldn't pay but it is a curious British institution and really a demonstration of how we can be slightly eccentric but excel at things. Long may it continue.

I have been watching the series,the thing that struck me was how few brits work in this great British institution :-\

£6,900 per night ! It just confirms the saying...'A fool and his money are soon parted'.
