Ritz London
The Ritz opened on May 15th, 1906 at the height of the Edwardian heyday with its first sales brochure offering a double bedroom with private bath for thirty shillings a night. Right from this beginning, the hotel benefited from royal patronage, including the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII) and the English aristocracy.
The ravishing Palm Court (initially called the Winter Garden) epitomises the elegant luxury of Edwardian high life. The position, reputation and ambience make it the perfect place to take afternoon tea. The sense of theatre is created by the high glass ceiling and the classic marble columns. The celebrated centrepiece statue is a fountain known as "La Source". The Echaillon marble provides a glorious setting for the recently regilded Repoussé lead figures.
Since November 1995 when the Ritz reverted to private ownership, rooms have been decorated, friezes gilded, bronze wall fittings polished, new double glazing fitted and air conditioning brought up-to-date.
The Deluxe King cannot help but make its guests feel very special indeed. Thirty-six square metres of floor space make the room the favourite of guests who like to relax and enjoy the full splendour of this very spacious room. In common with most other rooms at The Ritz, the antique furniture and ornate furnishings have recently been lovingly restored to ensure the most luxurious of surroundings.
Stepping into a Suite at The Ritz is an experience in itself. The entrance halls of selected suites even boast marble flooring and each Suite can best be described as a symphony of grand taste and unrestrained style. The 74 square metres of space, deep carpets and rich, heavy curtains provide the perfect complement to the antique paintings, unique furnishings and quite superb decor that complete the splendour of each Suite.
A Superior King offers very spacious accommodation with 24 square metres of space and a kingsize bed. The high ceilings together with their ornate cornicing add to the feeling of space, comfort and style and, like all the rooms at The Ritz, the 24 carat gold leaf and antique Louis XVI style furnishings serve to enhance the refined and graceful atmosphere of this most elegant room.
The magnificence of The Ritz Hotel is celebrated in the restaurant - its crowning glory. The richness of the decor has made it recognised as one of the prettiest dining rooms in Europe. The open, light atmosphere of the Restaurant is created by the magnificent floor to ceiling french windows. These offer stunning views over the Ritz Terrace and Garden to Green Park and beyond.

The warmth of welcome from the Hall Porters is only tempered by the impressive nature of the reception desk. This handsome crescent of mahogany was restored in 1987 to reveal a secret compartment. It had unknowingly captured momentos from a past era: love letters, tickets, postcards... At The Ritz, there are hall porters rather than a concierge. They provide a 24-hour a day source of knowledge and service for the guests.
The grand exterior of The Ritz belies the fact that there are only 130 bedrooms. With 7 floors, the spaciousness of the public areas is equally apparent within the hotel bedrooms. Two guest lifts, centrally located, provide easy access to the rooms.
The 131 guestrooms and suites are in perfect condition for the first time in a decade. Our recommendation for the best accommodations are the corner suites in the -18 and -19 series which overlook both Piccadilly and Green Park.
Can there be anything more luxurious than to stay in a Junior suite at The Ritz. With original fireplaces and innovative features such as tented silk ceilings in some suites, the emphasis is on sheer luxury throughout. A very generous 46 square metres of space includes a beautiful seating area that serves to enhance the majestic ambience of graceful living that is the trademark of the Junior Suite.
The Executive Rooms are well appointed accommodations that provide the luxury and comfort on which the Ritz prides itself. Many of the original fittings and decorations have survived. These include the stylish Louis XVI chimney pieces in different coloured marbles and the brass coal scuttles with the Ritz ribbon motif. This emblem also appears on the bronze wall lights. A separate seating area provides sufficient space for informal business meetings. Predominantly Piccadilly facing, the executive rooms have been designed for ultimate peace and comfort. This explains why they continue to be the preferred choice for International Ambassadors and VIPs.
The bathrooms have been recently redecorated in panelled marble. The combination of the gold taps, the marble surround and the elegant flooring makes the effort of ever leaving ones room almost insurmountable.
The Ritz has three well-appointed Private Dining Rooms for luncheons, dinners, receptions and meetings. Each suite is entirely in design and yet each provides a stylish environment for your function whether you need a room for 2 or for 100. There is a selection of menus for the Private Dining Rooms for lunch, dinner and receptions canapes and buffets.
