By
2 years ago
One of the most iconic hotels in the world, with an enviable location on London’s Piccadilly overlooking the royal Green Park. Opened in 1906 by hotelier César Ritz, The Ritz quickly became a favourite home-from-home for Hollywood stars and royalty alike. It was also the first hotel to be awarded a Royal Warrant in 2002 for banqueting and catering services. Ideal for families and couples alike, guests today can choose between lavishly decorated Louis XVI-style rooms and suites. In the exquisite Michelin-starred Ritz Restaurant, with its sparkling chandeliers and marble columns, executive chef John Williams MBE uses the finest seasonal ingredients. His famed signature dishes include Cornish turbot, beef wellington and langoustine à la nage. Or choose the theatrical four-course Arts de la Table dinner menu which showcases the harmony between the kitchen and front of house teams through the guéridon style of service. Guests may also enjoy the legendary afternoon tea in the Palm Court complete with a resident pianist (The Ritz even has a certified tea master) or spend the evening sipping cocktails in the intimate Art Deco Rivoli Bar.
