The Ritz London

Luxurious is in their DNA. The staff is welcoming you by name every time you enter the hotel again. Wonderful rooms and the breakfast is one of the best I ever had.

Afternoon tea of dreams! We had cocktails before we were seated, delicious but very expensive for a small drink. The afternoon tea was so yummy! Delicious sandwiches which were refreshed, tea, scones, the cakes. Everything was great! I even got a small complementary birthday cake. Great service and staff

We visited for lunch recently to celebrate a birthday and had a fabulous experience. The service staff were very engaging, the food and ambience first class. There second Michelin star awarded this year is well deserved. Lunch was a relaxed affair and guests had the table for as long as they wanted none of the pressure to be in and out in 2 hrs that seems to have crept in in many restaurants. First class experience.

Now let me tell ya somethin’ — when Michael Lindhagen touches down in London, he ain’t stayin’ just anywhere. I go where there’s class, where there’s history, where the staff don’t flinch when a man walks in with polished shoes, a sharp suit, and a wallet that don’t close. That place? The Ritz. From the moment I stepped in, I felt like royalty. No joke. The lobby? Gold trim, crystal chandeliers, marble floors — breathtaking. It don’t matter how tough you are, you walk in there and suddenly you’re sittin’ up straighter. You talk a little smoother. You remember your manners. The service? Top of the top. The doormen knew my name before I even said it. The bellhop handled my luggage like it was Fabergé eggs. And room service? Impeccable. I ordered a late-night whiskey and a steak so tender it could’ve sung opera. Now let’s talk about afternoon tea. Yeah, I did it. Sat there in a tailored jacket with Gionna lookin’ like a million bucks, sippin’ Earl Grey like I was born into old money. I ain’t even mad. A man’s allowed to indulge once in a while.

My daughter & I had a wonderful champagne afternoon tea & the whole experience definitely lived up to (surpassed, actually) any expectations we had! The quality (& amount) of the food was excellent & the staff were very friendly & welcoming!
