Michelin Guide
"World famous... lavishly appointed and luxurious rooms."
Concierge
"One of the world's famous hotels... opened in 1906, and is quite as lovely as it was in its first heyday—thanks largely to more than ten years of sympathetic private ownership."
Time Out
"If you like the idea of a world where jeans and trainers are banned and jackets must be worn by gentlemen when dining (the requirement is waived for breakfast), the Ritz is for you." Full review
DK Eyewitness

Star Service

Michelin Guide
"Stylish interior... Impeccably kept and individually decorated bedrooms."
Frommer's
"In North Soho, a short walk from the heartbeat of Soho Square, this town house has been luxuriously converted into a high-end hotel that is London chic at its finest." Full review
Fodor's

DK Eyewitness
"The ground floor bar is always buzzing with local workers as well as guests in this exquisitely designed hotel in a street full of restaurants."
Star Service
"Things are casual, including the lobby with its oak floor and leather chairs. Arrivals enter through this sparsely furnished reception room that is more modern-art gallery than lobby." Full review
Gayot
"Rooms feature soft pastels, snug duvets and pretty drapes, and all come well-equipped with the latest technology."
Travel + Leisure
