The Mayfair Hotel Megabuild (2022)

Although it looks like business as usual at Claridges - one of London's most luxurious five star hotels, set in the heart of Mayfair - this could not be further from the truth. Beneath the surface of this iconic, elegant, exclusive hotel, is a busy building site. An extraordinary engineering project is underway. A group of specialist miners from Donegal have been brought in to create a basement, digging as far down as the hotel is high. On the top of the grade II listed building, three new floors and 72 rooms and suites are being added. The ultimate aim - to ensure this Mayfair classic is setting the standard for the next generation of uber luxury hotels.

It's just over halfway through the seven-year renovation project and work continues just metres above and below Claridge's esteemed guests, including Stephen Jones, milliner to royalty, social media influencer, Kate Elisabeth and supermodel, Erin O’Conner. A Victorian-style dormer roof extension is being constructed in sections in Northern Ireland before being shipped over to Mayfair, and below ground the basement finally reaches its fifth level. But then Covid-19 forces the hotel to close for the first time in over 100 years. How will Claridge's survive lockdown, and will the team get back on track and complete this audacious build?

With the megabuild shell nearing completion, some of the world's top designers are brought in to oversee the final and most important touches. Remi Tessier, renowned Parisian interior designer, takes on the penthouse. Only the highest standards and rarest materials will do for the rumoured 100,000-pounds a night price tag. In the basement, Inge Theron is combining scents from Japan with the latest skincare tech to create Claridge's first spa. But the noise from nearby underground lines and an unprecedented flood threaten to jeopardise her venture before David Walliams has the opportunity to take the inaugural dip in the hotel's first ever pool.
