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 "A byword for pampering luxury since it opened in 1906, the Ritz continues to win awards for superior all-round service."
