When planning a trip, it’s easy to get caught up in the endless search for the best deal online. Many travellers turn to third-party booking sites, hoping to secure the lowest price – but these sites often come with hidden fees, limited flexibility, and fewer perks. 

But here’s a little secret: the best way to save – and to enjoy extra savings – is to book directly at The Clarendon Hotel.  

Booking with us directly means added value in every part of your stay (and a more enjoyable experience!). Here’s how choosing to book with us brings you more benefits, better savings, and a richer experience that’s truly tailored to you. 

Exclusive Rates and Offers 

The truth is, when you book through a middleman, you’re often not getting the best deal. By booking directly with us at The Clarendon, you’re cutting out that middleman and going straight to the source.  

What does this mean for you?  

It means you’re getting our very best rates and exclusive offers, tailored especially for you and your needs. From special packages like our Sunday Stay & Dine to the Stay Longer, Save More deal for those wanting to linger and soak up all the charm Blackheath has to offer (and The Clarendon’s warm hospitality!), booking direct unlocks savings and perks you won’t find anywhere else. 

Personalised Service from the Start 

Booking through third-party sites can sometimes mean a lack of personal touch, with requests falling through the cracks or communication feeling distant and generic. This experience couldn’t be further from the truth when you book direct through The Clarendon

When you book with us, your experience becomes personal from the very beginning. Whether you need a late check-in or have a special request, our team is here to make your stay as smooth and memorable as possible. 

You’ll avoid those irritating communication barriers that can arise with third-party sites that threaten to take away from the magic of your experience. Instead, you’ll have peace of mind knowing every detail is managed with personal care and attention. 

Our friendly staff are also ready with tailored recommendations on local gems – from scenic walks in Greenwich Park to favourite spots in Blackheath Village. Whatever your interests, we’re here to help you make the most of your stay with advice that feels as though it was crafted just for you. 

Flexible Booking Options and Peace of Mind 

Even with the best laid plans – travel can be unpredictable. Rigid policies and unclear cancellation terms of third-party booking sites can make things even trickier. Trying to adjust your stay through an external site can bring with it a whole host of hassle you just don’t need – especially when policies seem inflexible or come with hidden fees.  

By booking directly with The Clarendon, you’ll benefit from flexible terms designed with your peace of mind at their heart. Our Book Now & Pay Later option, for instance, lets you secure your reservation now and pay closer on arrival – offering the freedom to plan without the pressure. 

And because we understand that things can change last minute, when you book with us directly, you’ll have access to customer support whenever you need it – no waiting on hold or navigating third-party representatives. Instead, you’ll receive straightforward assistance from our team, who are here to make your stay as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

When you’re just another reservation in the system, booking through third-party sites can feel impersonal. At The Clarendon, we do things differently. When you book with us directly, you’re part of our community – a valued guest, not just a number.
