A Timeless Experience, Perfectly Delivered
Pros:

Staying at The Ritz London is an experience you will want to return to again and again. Your visit is thoughtfully prepared long before you even take a step inside — the staff are gracious, attentive, and truly make you feel welcome, appreciated, and taken care of.

Anyone who orchestrates processes and operations in any business knows that when things appear effortless, there is an extraordinary level of thought, precision, and professionalism behind it. This is exactly how I see The Ritz — polished, classy, and impeccable.

What stands out just as much is the people. Across every touchpoint — from concierge, valet, reception, and housekeeping to The Palm Court, the restaurant, and the Rivoli Bar (special greetings to a Lithuanian bartender working there) — The Ritz brings together individuals who are not only exceptional in their professionalism, but also in their cultural awareness, warmth, and presence.

It takes you back in time in the very best sense. The food, the service, and the beautifully decorated rooms come together to create something close to a fairytale.

We were genuinely won over. The Ritz London has gained new regular guests — we are already planning to return each year to relive its magic and the beauty of London altogether.

P.S. Being addressed as “Madam Asta” throughout my stay was a small detail that brought a smile every time — charming, personal, and a reminder that what we truly value is to be seen not just as guests, but as individuals.

It lived up to expectations and was fantastic in every respect
Pros:

I had the chance to experience the afternoon tea time during my stay and that is something I greatly recommend, On the other hand the service at the Rivoli Bar and the Restaurant was simply superb!!.

Cons:

It is very hard for me to think of something that may need improvement. maybe the only thing to mention is that they were run out of cherries when preparing my manhattan at the Rivoli Bar.

Very nice unacceptable ending.
Pros:

High class

Cons:

Lousy service. I arrived after dinner at 00.12 and the door of the hotel was closed, nobody inside ready to open and I had to hammer with my fists against the closed doors. There was no doorbell to ring outside the door. After a few minutes somebody showed up and opened the door.
This is something that can be expected in a two stars little family managed country boarding house not in a hotel in downtown London, let alone the Ritz.

Sleeping on clouds and the staff get all the stars!
Pros:

From the moment I entered the Ritz to the second I checked out, the experience has been memorable.
The doorman whose name I forget, was ever so accommodating and helpful in guiding me to the reception. The lady housekeeper was so kind to give me a tour of the hotel and help with a few photos. What can I say about the lovely, hardworking room attendant who provided turn down service! In general, the staff get all the stars! Their hospitality was deeply heart-felt and they were able to satisfy my odd requests.
As for the room, it exceeded my expectations! I loved the size, the comfort of bed/pillows and the elegance of a bygone era. I miss it already and looking forward to coming back again!

Cons:

There is no swimming pool however, my room included a bath so I was able to enjoy a bubble bath.
It might be useful to include a kettle in the room.
