a £5 daily charge for a newspaper.

There it's not a case of nickel and diming but more obvious rip off. Shame as Claridge's is a great property and would do well not upsetting guests who by judging the rate you mentionned aren't discount hunters. The secret to a healthy balance sheet for a luxury hotel is in not dropping their rates, if they do even high occupancy won't save them. I hope that for that price the paper had been ironed first
