Advantages: A fantastic treat Disadvantages: Could be thought of as pricey!
...known only as "Tea at the Ritz".
So if you want to know all about the hotel - you're reading the wrong review!!
Tea at the Ritz is a dining experience best experienced with someone else. Take your wife, spouse, fiancee, girlfriend, mother, granny, husband, boyfriend, partner, or granddad (but not your pet gerbil), and they will enjoy one of London's most unique dining experiences.

Advantages: Service, style and fine dining Disadvantages: £££!
Since the early years of the 20th century, The Ritz Hotel in London has been synonymous with luxury, elegance and fine dining. While it is a destination that most of us couldn’t afford to patronise on a regular basis, for those lucky enough to have saved the wherewithal for a ‘special occasion’ visit it is a highly desirable location. I was fortunate enough to spend two days there in Jan-04…and they were two days I won’t be forgetting in a hurry.

LIVING IT UP AT THE RITZ
Munching British Rail sandwiches on Lincoln station was hardly an inspiring start to a weekend at the Ritz, one of the world’s most prestigious hotels. My fault for not double-checking the departure times so my wife was quick to point out – but then she would say that wouldn’t she?
It wasn’t the end of the world and it was a beautiful summers day when we eventually arrived in the capital, where ...

Advantages: Location Disadvantages: Cost and Staff
...booked us a night in the Ritz as my 21st birthday present. As soon as i found out we were staying here, i was telling everyone who came into my sight.
On arriving at the hotel there was a note on the front door to tell everyone to use the side door as the front door was not working.....nice!

Advantages: Luxurious surroundings and food, great service Disadvantages: Booking necessary for Palm Court
...I were in London for the day on business and, having missed lunch because of train times, decided to treat ourselves to tea at the Ritz which we walked past on the way to our presentation.
Obviously we didn't have a booking - and people do book weeks in advance - so we asked at reception and were directed to the maitre d' in the Palm Court. He was really pleasant and said that while the tea room was fully booked we could get exactly the same tea ...

Advantages: Style, excellent service, great location Disadvantages: Too many tourists
The only problem with The Ritz is that being such a landmark it does attract a bizarre mixture of people.
The Rivoli Bar is perhaps a bit kitsch for some, decorated with much gold and glitz, but The Palm Court and adjoining lounge bar are sophistication in themselves and ideal places to take elderly relatives to tea or for drinks with clients/friends.
The restaurant offers the best of British in terms of a traditional menu and the room is spectacular. ...
