AFTERNOON TEA

To the left of the Long Gallery, between the hotel lobby and The Ritz Restaurant, lies the Palm Court. Originally designed as a dramatic stage set to delight those entering the hotel from the Piccadilly entrance, the Palm Court makes imaginative use of a mirrored backdrop which reflect the impressive marble columns flanking the entrance to the restaurant. Much of the appeal of the Palm Court decor lies in the use of curves, rounded ends, oval oeil-de-boeuf windows and the deeply coved cornices. To the rear of the room, providing the central focus in a charming moulded niche, is a fountain sculpture of a reclining female figure wrought in gilded lead. View More Details >>

BANQUETING & PRIVATE DINING

The Ritz opened to great acclaim in 1906 and throughout its 100 year history the famous and the fashionable have been attracted to this legendary hotel. In 1995 The Ritz was returned to private British ownership and almost immediately a complete refurbishment began on the Grade 11 star listed building. Twelve years later the hotel has been fully restored with no detail left untouched. In 2002 The Ritz received a Royal Warrant for Banqueting and Catering Services. Awarded by His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales, The Ritz is the first, and only, hotel to have been honoured with this prestigious award. View More Details >>

THE RITZ RESTAURANT

The Ritz Restaurant is considered by many to be the most beautiful hotel restaurant in the world. The vast floor to ceiling windows, the rich and varied use of soft pink, pale green and veined white marble, and the dazzling garlands of chandeliers reflected in the wall of panelled mirror, combine to create one of the most magical interiors in London, as charming by day as by night. West facing floor to ceiling windows overlook The Terrace, The Italian Garden and The Green Park and during the day, the sunshine enhances the interior brightness while in the low evening light, the circle of chandeliers and table candelabras create a magical reflection in the mirrors.

THE RITZ ROLLS ROYCE

Incorporated by founders Charles Stewart Rolls and Henry Royce in March 1906, just two months before The Ritz opened its doors for the first time, the Rolls-Royce company has never produced anything but the most luxurious motor cars in the world. So what better way for The Ritz to mark its 100th anniversary in 2006 than to take delivery of a magnificent new Phantom Rolls-Royce, which was replaced more recently by a long-wheelbase model in 2008 View More Details >>

THE RIVOLI BAR

When The Ritz opened in 1906 the architects designed a cocktail bar that ran from inside the Piccadilly entrance along the length of the front of the building to Arlington Street. The original Rivoli Bar was a fashionable haunt and a celebrated meeting place until 1972 when it was transformed into a parade of shops. Re-opened in November 2001, The Rivoli has been lavishly recreated by designer Tessa Kennedy in the more decorative and luxurious style of the late 1920's rather than its early Art Deco original and is, once again, a fashionable and popular meeting place.
