The Ritz London
The grande dame of Piccadilly, and the afternoon tea everyone means.
Few hotels are as instantly recognizable as The Ritz London. Since 1906 it has stood on Piccadilly beside Green Park, its Louis XVI interiors and Palm Court afternoon tea setting the standard for London elegance.
Choose it for a milestone trip, when tradition and ceremony are the point.
Where you’ll be
Piccadilly puts you between Mayfair and St James's, with Green Park on one side and Fortnum & Mason a short stroll away. Buckingham Palace is across the park, and the West End's theatres are a quick walk or taxi ride.
The stay
Rooms and suites are dressed in classic Louis XVI style, with rich fabrics and gilded details. Afternoon tea in the Palm Court is the signature experience, with a formal dress code that is part of the fun, and the Ritz Restaurant is one of the most beautiful dining rooms in London.
