ABOUT THE RITZ

When The Ritz first opened its doors in 1906, it was considered one of the greatest hotels in the world. Conceived by the famous hotelier César Ritz 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.

The Ritz is located in the heart of London, making it the perfect base for exploring one of the most vibrant cities in the world. On our doorstep find: Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace, West End Theatres, Bond Street and so much more…

Situated between the bustling Piccadilly and the calm oasis of the stunning Royal Green Park, The Ritz has one of the most enviable locations in London. Whether it’s palaces or parks, shopping or singing along to a West End show, you’ll always be perfectly located when you stay at The Ritz.

Immerse yourself in the epitome of luxury with the iconic 8th generation Rolls-Royce Phantom EWB, meticulously crafted by hand in England and custom-made to The Ritz design. Whether you’re a guest of our Signature Suites or not, our prestigious chauffeur service is at your disposal, ensuring you arrive in style and comfort.

In recognition of the world class service enjoyed by our guests, The Ritz has received a host of awards and accolades over the years which are testimony to the dedication and professionalism of our staff.

The Ritz takes its commitment to minimise the impact it has on the environment very seriously. That’s why in 2015 we invited a top energy consultancy firm to carry out a government backed audit called Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) on our hotel to suggest ways we could run in a more energy efficient way.

We are a hotel with a grand history and we honour the finest of British traditions, and so we have a dress code in different areas of the hotel as follows: Gentlemen are required to wear a jacket and tie (jeans and sportswear are not permitted for either ladies or gentlemen) for afternoon tea in The Palm Court, and for lunch and dinner in The Ritz Restaurant and Terrace. In all other areas of the hotel (The Ritz Restaurant breakfast service, The Rivoli Bar, and The Long Gallery), smart casual attire is required. Please note that shorts, trainers, and sportswear are not permitted in any of the hotel’s restaurants or bars.
