THE EDITOR’S LETTER · ADA BILICAN, HBB CO-FOUNDER
People often ask me where they should go in London. My honest answer is never a list of the newest openings. It is the places I return to, the ones that feel the same on a rainy Tuesday as on a birthday. None of them paid to be here. They are simply the rooms I love most in my city.
With love from London, Ada
There is a moment, just past the revolving door, when London goes quiet. The black and white floor, the Art Deco lines, the soft hum of the Foyer at teatime. Claridge’s never tries to impress you, and that is exactly why it does.
Behind an unmarked door in Shepherd Market is my favourite kind of London: a warren of small rooms, candlelight, old paintings and conversations that last far longer than planned.
Silver, grey and pale pink, with the martini trolley gliding towards you like a small ceremony. Ask for theirs, choose your bitters, and watch it poured from a height. It is theatre, but never loud.
THE HOUSE
A visual, searchable reference for hotels, restaurants, beach clubs, bars, wellness, members clubs, publications and platforms.
The places that define global hospitality. An independent editorial selection: a venue is an HBB Icon, or it is not. Recognised, never rated.
Brands personally experienced by Chairman Murat Bilican and the HBB team. Awarded by invitation only. Never purchased.
The brands we would send a friend to. A quiet signal of trust across the library and its editorial showcase.
INDEPENDENCE
Hospitality Brandbook is an independent editorial and research platform. Brands cannot pay to appear, be rated or be recommended. Owners may enrich their profiles; editorial judgement remains with the house.
It is not affiliated with Michelin, The World’s 50 Best, Gault & Millau or any other guide. HBB’s recognition belongs to HBB.
