THE RITZ LONDON OVERVIEW

Conceived by famous hotelier César Ritz in May 1906, with the aim of becoming the ultimate destination for guests looking to stay at the most luxurious hotel in the land, no expense was spared on its opulent interiors and lavish furnishings.

Located between the bustling Piccadilly and the calm oasis of Green Park, The Ritz offers the height of opulence with luxurious bedrooms, Michelin star dining and world-renowned Afternoon Tea.

In January 2002, The Ritz received a Royal Warrant for Banqueting and Catering Services. Awarded by His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales, becoming the first, and only hotel to have been honoured with this prestigious award. Now, 115 years after first opening its doors, The Ritz continues to offer guests the same exceptionally high standards and exquisitely luxurious experience that was the keystone in the creation of this world-class hotel.
