THIS IS THE RITZ

A NAME KNOWN THE WORLD OVER

César Ritz was a visionary who wished to create a hotel with character, elegance and an atmosphere where

guests would be pampered and expectations surpassed.

His vision materialised in May 1906 when The Ritz London opened its doors and immediately became a huge success. Such was César Ritz’s triumph that he was dubbed “King of hoteliers, and hotelier to

Kings” by the future King Edward VII. The hotel has since been host to royalty and thousands of discerning

guests for over a century.

Today The Ritz London is owned by a British family and is a benchmark and byword for excellence. In 2002 The Ritz was the first hotel to receive a Royal Warrant

from His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales, for Banqueting and Catering Services.

SEEING IS TRULY BELIEVING

Upon arrival at The Ritz London, many guests pause in the lobby to appreciate the stunning surroundings,

before taking a gentle stroll through the elegant Long Gallery.

This magnificent space runs the length of the hotel, connecting a series of dining areas including The Palm Court, The Rivoli Bar and The Ritz Restaurant as well

as providing access to the spectacular private dining rooms in William Kent House.

Beautifully decorated with a warm, golden glow, The Long Gallery is the perfect place to have a

refreshing beverage and enjoy the ambience.

TEA FOR TWO OR TWO FOR TEA

The Palm Court is a striking area of astonishingly ornate design. Its decorative features include floor-to-ceiling mirrored walls, the stunning ‘La Source’ fountain, a dramatic skylight and

breath-taking floral displays.

This is the perfect venue for quintessentially British Afternoon Tea at The Ritz, where guests enjoy a wide

selection of fine loose leaf teas, finger sandwiches, freshly baked warm scones and a range of delicate

pastries and tea cakes.

With the renowned Ritz service, live music and the beautiful surroundings, memories of a

lifetime are guaranteed.

THE BEST BAR IN LONDON, BAR NONE

The Rivoli Bar is a chic, Art Deco bar, with stylish and sophisticated décor featuring brilliant gilded

ceiling domes, patterned mirrors and Turkish crystal chandeliers. Lalique glass panels further enhance

the 1920s glamour.

The menu offers an extensive Champagne, cocktail, spirit and wine selection as well as classic British bar food with a Ritz twist. The Rivoli Bar is the perfect

destination for pre-dinner drinks or toasting a special occasion.

SERVING THE WORLD

Initially The Ritz London built its culinary reputation under the influence of Auguste Escoffier, one of the

world’s most famous chefs and a champion of French haute cuisine. Today our Executive Chef, a disciple

of Escoffier, creates contemporary interpretations of classical French dishes using the finest and freshest

British seasonal produce. The menu changes daily to meet the constant desire to surprise and delight diners.

Every Friday and Saturday evening The Ritz Restaurant, widely considered to be one of the most beautiful

dining rooms in the world brings you ‘Live at The Ritz’, an exclusive dinner dance with live entertainment.

NO ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT

Every room at The Ritz London is a celebration of Louis XVI neoclassical style, decorated in a unique

colour palette using signature blue, yellow, rose pink or peach colours. The rooms are perfectly proportioned

and provide exceptional standards of comfort.

Several of these luxury bedrooms interconnect to additional rooms or suites and offer exquisite views

overlooking the picturesque Royal Green Park or Piccadilly.

With a ratio of over two staff to every guest room you are assured the highest levels of personal service.

SUITE DREAMS

All suites are designed in the famous Louis XVI house style combining an incredible opulence and refined

elegance with the ultimate sense of comfort. Offering spectacular views along Piccadilly or overlooking the

stunning Royal Green Park, each suite is discreetly located to ensure maximum privacy.

The luxury of our suites is the abundance of space ranging from 665 square feet (62 square metres) of a Superior Suite to an expansive 2,802 square feet

(260 square metres) of a five bedroom suite.

Our Signature Suites offer a complimentary 24 hour butler service and a one-way London airport transfer

in the chauffeur driven Ritz Rolls-Royce Phantom.

SEVENTH FLOOR HEAVEN

Set seven stories above bustling Piccadilly, The Ritz Salon offers a tranquil sanctuary. Here guests are

pampered and emerge feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. The Salon provides a wide range of beauty treatments

including hairdressing for ladies and gentlemen, manicures, pedicures, professional make-up

application and exceptional relaxation treatments.

The Ritz Salon is a wonderful haven of well-being and the perfect place to unwind.

MAKE YOUR EVENT AN OCCASION

The Grade II listed 18th century William Kent House adjoins the hotel and is home to an exquisite collection of five lavishly decorated private dining rooms. These

opulent rooms retain their original Italian Renaissance style décor and are ideal for elegant dining, bespoke

meetings, weddings and gala occasions.

With its sumptuous surroundings, fine dining and exceptional service, William Kent House is the

epitome of good taste.
