Ritz Hotel
Piccadilly, London W1

Built in 1906, the Ritz was named after the famed Swiss hotelier Cezar Rit, who inspired the adjective 'ritzy). 

The colonnaded facade of the chateau-style building was supposed in evoke Paris, where the most luxurious and fashionable hotels were located at the turn of the 20th century. 

The impressive hotel soon became a by-word for a level of glamour and extravagance unparalleled in London. 

Today the Ritz still maintains its air of Edwardian opulence.  The French-style rooms are very grand, especially in the restaurant where chandeliers hang from a fresco of clouds above the diners' heads. 

The hotel's chic atmosphere is enhanced by tea dances and fashion shows held in the Palm Court.  Taking afternoon tea is the cheapest way for visitors, suitably dressed of course, to gain access to the hotel's Louis XVI interior.   Outside, its Italian Garden leads towards Green Park.  

Open to non-residents for tea or restaurant meals.
