Stayed here for my wifes birthday on Sunday 16th June. We had a great room looking down towards Piccadilly on the 4th floor. Dinner Sunday evening was fantastic as was breakfast Monday morning. The decor and ambience of the hotel was fantastic. Look at the website for deals as it can save you quite a bit of money. Fantastic.

Stayed with the family and the Emir of Doha. Had a blast and were treated like royalty. Afternoon tea in London at The Ritz is an institution in itself and we are proud to be a member of the Tea Council's prestigious Tea Guild. Served in the spectacular Palm Court, the choice of several varieties of tea and a delicious... More

Arrived on the 14th February for my 10th stay. As always enjoyed every second of it! Can highly recommend the spa treatments and of course the afternoon tea. The service is second to none and in particular Judith the assistant manager is fantastic at looking after guests.

We stayed at the Ritz for two impromptu nights after a flight cancellation to Mallorca. We arrived therefor not appropriately dressed for such a fine establishment and without jackets etc... for the two men in our group of four. However we were still made to feel extremely welcome throughout our stay. The staff are the finest you would meet anywhere... More

Especially when one considers the weekend offer (£375 a night) is avaialble on a room priced at ordinarily £925 a night! The staff were professional whilst friendly at front of house. The whole expereince is quintessiantially British and may it rule forever.

THE Ultimate Cocktail Bar! We booked a table with the intention of having one drink, but stayed for a couple of hours and downed a few more. Excellent service, complimentary nibbles, sublime cocktails. We will definitely return when in London.

We really enjoy the Tea here, sandwiches are sometimes noticeable different in freshness and every time the format seems different in the service of the Tea. This I don't mind as it gives variety unlike the sandwiches .But I suppose Tea is Tea and I apploud the establishment doesn't go with the trend but upholds its own style. One of... More

A friend of mine visiting from abroad had always wanted to visit the Ritz, so I duly booked us in for afternoon tea for her birthday, including ordering a cake. I can't fault our visit in any way. You expect the Ritz to be pricey, and it was, but you also expect excellent service, fresh food, and an out-of-your-league ambience... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Opened by renowned hotelier Cesar Ritz in 1906, The Ritz today still retains all the glamour and excitement synonymous with this world famous hotel. Perfectly located in a landmark position on Piccadilly in the heart of London’s West End, the 136 room luxury hotel is ideally placed to suit both business and leisure visitors alike. Now totaling 113 bedrooms and 23 suites, the elegant rooms combine the original Louis XVI style interiors with modern day technology. Considered by many to be one of the most beautiful rooms in the world, The Ritz Restaurant features a magnificent frescoed ceiling with west facing windows overlooking the Terrace, the Italian Garden and Green Park beyond. The Restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, with a Dinner Dance on Fridays and Saturdays. The Palm Court restaurant offers, most famously, daily Afternoon Tea service which has been popular since the hotel first opened. The stylishly updated Rivoli Bar was designed by Tessa Kennedy and features Art Deco styled interiors. Open daily with a bar menu. Private dining facilities at William Kent House, the 18th century mansions house opened recently at The Ritz, include an exquisite selection of banquet rooms and suites. Possibly the most elegant and opulent private rooms in London, William Kent House offers the perfect venue for private receptions, weddings, boardroom meetings, lunches, dinners and gala events. The Ritz London is a Grade II star listed building and in 2002 became the first hotel to receive the Royal Warrant from his Royal Highness The Prince of Wales for banqueting and catering services. Returned to private British ownership in 1995, The Ritz has now, eleven years later, been fully restored with no detail left untouched. ... more   less
