The Ritz London

A legendary hotel that, for all its glamour, still retains a personal feel. Overlooking Picadilly and Green Parks, in the middle of St. James's, the Ritz London is like staying at a French chateau.

Guests arrive to find a Louis XVI-style interior adorned with Ionic columns and Belle Époque furnishings. Peckish upon arrival? Have high tea at the Palm Court, or head straight for the martinis at the Art Deco-styled Rivoli Bar. Your guestroom is, true to Ritz form, furnished with original, Edwardian leather topped desks, crystal pendant ceiling lamps, marble fireplaces, and silk upholstered headboards.

If you're here on business, just say the word and you'll be provided with a business trolley with printer, scanner, and word processor. (The service here is, to say the least, incredible.)

The Ritz Restaurant is a sought-after place to dine, but come on a Saturday night when there's a four-piece band, and dance the night away in one of the most fashionable spots in London.
