Claridges

S1, E1: David Heathcote checks into Claridge's Hotel in London's Mayfair. He explores the Art Deco makeover of the 1930s, which transformed the old Victorian hotel into a fashionable destination for the rich and famous. He enjoys the glamour of the Deco fumoir, which made smoking sexy and glamorous, even for women. He samples the cocktail bar with Guy Oliver, the man whose job it is to renovate and restore the glamorous 1930s image of the hotel. Then Heathcote settles into a perfect Art Deco bath complete with glass panels, bubble bath and 2 bell pulls - one for the maid and one for the butler.
