An Enduring Icon of World Hospitality
Over a Century of Unrivalled British Aristocracy, Glamour, and Perfection
Opened by the celebrated Swiss hotelier César Ritz on 24 May 1906, The Ritz London remains universally acknowledged as one of the greatest hotels in the world. Dominating Piccadilly in the prestigious enclave of Mayfair, directly bordering the tranquil leafy expanses of Green Park, this legendary establishment has served as the London home to kings, queens, statesmen, and Hollywood luminaries for more than a century.
Designed in the sumptuous neoclassical Louis XVI style by famed Anglo-French architects Charles Mewès and Arthur Davis—creators of the legendary Paris Ritz—the hotel dazzles with its iconic arched colonnade, gilded balustrades, crystal chandeliers, trompe l'œil frescoes, and lavish marble bathrooms. Every detail reflects César Ritz's uncompromising philosophy: luxury without ostentation, and hospitality executed to flawless perfection.
From the Michelin-starred Ritz Restaurant overlooking the Italian Garden to the mirrored splendor of The Palm Court for traditional Afternoon Tea, every moment at The Ritz is infused with timeless pageantry. The addition of William Kent House, an 18th-century Grade II* listed Palladian mansion integrated into the hotel, provides peerless banqueting suites and magnificent residential accommodations overlooking the Royal Parks.
