Torridon is a magnificent corner of the North Western Highlands with some of the finest mountain scenery in Europe. Torridon is an excellent base for mountaineers, as well as those simply wishing to relax and enjoy the surroundings and wildlife. Situated at the head of Upper Loch Torridon in the sha...

This palace of gilt, marble, mirror, and trompe l'oeil would moisten Marie Antoinette's eye. Add the view over Green Park and the Ritz's sunken garden, and it seems beside the point to eat. But the cuisine stands up to the visuals, with super-rich morsels - foie gras, lobster, truffles, caviar - all...

Uncapitalized, the word ritz has come to mean posh or classy, and this is where the word originated. Memorialized in song by Irving Berlin, this hotel's very name conjures the kind of luxury associated with swagged curtains, handwoven carpets, and the smell of cigars, polish, and fresh lilies. The o...

This dowager duchess of London hotels has just seen its hundredth year but, happily, retains the twinkle and spirit of its heyday in the 1920s. The exuberant glamour of Palm Court, with its gilded decor, tinkling piano and sugar-almond palette of pastels, continues to attract hordes for no less than...

Built in French Renaissance style and opened by César Ritz in 1906, this hotel overlooking Green Park is synonymous with luxury. Gold-leafed molding, marble columns, and potted palms abound, and a gold-leafed statue, La Source, adorns the fountain of the oval Palm Court. After a major restora...

Built in 1906 by Cesar Ritz (it was the first reinforced steel and concrete building in London), The Ritz looks onto Piccadilly and Green Park. Turn-of-the-millennium refurbishment has enabled it to live up to its name and fortunately it is now as glitzy and ritzy (though in the best possible taste)...

The Ritz is unquestionably one of the most beautiful dining rooms in London. Its grand stately home style, awash with pinks and golds, sporting a magnificent trompe l'il painted ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows looking out onto the terrace where you can eat in the summer. Service is pretty state...

The Ritz, London. Few other places can summon such an immediate atmosphere of unparalleled style, sophistication and elegance. Opened in 1906, the Ritz today still retains the personal feel of a French country house whilst offering all the glamour, excitement and graceful living that are synonymous ...

Resting on the Laurels - user review
My wife and I spent five nights at the Ritz in London on a business/pleasure trip (June 2004). It was by far the most disappointing travel experience we have shared. The hotel is tired, the atmosphere is dreary, the staff is arrogant and lazy and their strategy is to extort their guests. A few examp...

Good but not great - user review
Great location. Very convenient. The staff was helpful. However, I didn't feel that the staff would go above and beyond to help. The dress code is a little annoying to my boyfriend and me as we didn't like to stick to jacket and tie for men and no jeans at all. We definitely feel underdressed at thi...

A hotel worthy of its name - user review
If you are looking for a upscale hotel in the grand european style with excellent service, this is it. The location is also excellent. I have stayed in several of the famous landmark hotels in London and many of them are in need of updating, anemic air conditioners etc. The Ritz does not. It will no...

Unparralled luxury and service but very stuffy - user review
The rooms and service were definietly worth the high prices but we couldn;t even have a drink at the opulent bar since they have a formal dress code. I prefer hotels that are 5 star nice but no need to impose jackets and slacks on...

Superior King? - user review
We booked a Superior King room and were given a tiny room with a queen bed and tiny bathroom. The bathroom was so tiny that you could not use the toilet without banging your knees on the cabinetry, and the bathroom had not been remodelled in many years...wood was rotted and chipping. When we complai...

Faded luxury, faded service - user review
I stayed their one night in Jan 2007. Had booked a Deluxe room at a cost of around $800. Requested quiet room. It turned out to be next to a major refurbishment with hammering all night. Staff said (probably untruthfully) that there was no other room available. Size did not match description on web....

Great - user review
I thought the Ritz in Paris was the best hotel I have stayed in until staying at the Ritz in London. The Deluxe King was what most would consider a Jr. Suite and of course very tastefuly done especially since the renovation. The food & atmosphere was great as well. They are VERY serious about guest ...

Stayed as part of a tour package. The rooms and decor of the entire hotel are fabulously elegant in the Victorian style, and everything is perfectly maintained. Service was excellent. Location is excellent. However, be in the mood to be elegant; i.e. no je...

The name says it all! - user review
We had the set Sunday lunch menu I think it was 37. Totally brilliant value 3 courses, all of which were delicious. It is a fabulous room, which perfect service. The wine list is extensive but you can get away without blowing too much money. Overall, close to heaven I just wish I'd tried it out year...

A Marvelous Institution - user review
We stayed at the Ritz in May 2004. At check in we were upgraded at no cost to a suite (from a junior suite). Service was impeccable and felt genuine. We had none of the complaints experienced by others who posted a few years ago management change Although the cost was a special treat for us, it was ...

Updated Review Amid Centenary Celebrations as Repeat Guest - user review
While work obligations bring us to London twice per year, we splurge on our leisure breaks to take in London as visitors and on (our 17th visit), our 3rd to The Ritz London property, this institution has put all the stops in honor of their 100th year anniversary as a landmark hotel on the West End. ...

The Ritz London: Attention all backpackers.... - user review
Tired of roughing it at some dumpy dirty hostel. Save up and splurge on a few nights at The Ritz in London. No sharing a bathroom down the hall or being woken up by the snoring of the total stranger tourist that is booked in the same room with you. Well worth the hundreds, if not, thousands dollars ...
