The James Bond Experience

Sample the James Bond lifestyle for yourself with this sophisticated programme!

To celebrate the centenary of Ian Fleming's birth and the launch of the new James Bond film in the autumn, we are pleased to offer you the chance to delve into the life of this iconic character and sample the 007 lifestyle for yourself at The Ritz!

Your experience starts with a visit to the Imperial War Museum's Ian Fleming exhibition: The first major exhibition devoted to the life and work of the man who created the world's most famous secret agent. Featuring fascinating material, much on public display for the first time, the exhibition looks at the author and his fictional character in their historical context and examines how much of the Bond novels were imaginary and how far they were based on real people and events.

After retiring to The Ritz prepare to be shaken, and perhaps a little stirred, as you continue in true 007 style by being treated to a classic Martini Cocktail, served to you in the spectacular Rivoli Bar, followed by a delicious four course dinner in the magnificent Ritz Restaurant.

During your stay with us you will also receive complimentary membership to The Ritz Club: As one of the world's most exclusive, privately owned gaming clubs situated in the former ballroom of the hotel; it will truly be for your eyes only! At the end of the evening, retire to your exquisitely, individually decorated room for the night, and wake the following morning to a traditional English breakfast .

This programme includes:

  • Two tickets to the Imperial War Museum London's Ian Flemming exhibition
  • Pre Dinner 'James Bond' Cocktail in The Rivoli Bar
  • Four course dinner for two in The Ritz Restaurant
  • Complimentary membership to The Ritz Club
  • One night's accommodation with English breakfast the following morning
  • Value Added Tax

Prices are from £660 for two people sharing a twin or double room
