Ritz Hotel

The Ritz London is a luxury five-star hotel located on Piccadilly in the City of Westminster, overlooking Green Park. It was opened in 1906 by Swiss hotelier César Ritz and was designed by architects Mewès and Davis in a Baroque style inspired by French châteaux and the Place Vendôme in Paris. The hotel is known for its opulent Louis XVI interior decoration, its famous Palm Court where afternoon tea is served, and its associations with royalty, heads of state, and celebrities. The Ritz is one of the most famous and recognisable hotels in the world and its name has become synonymous with luxury.
