We adored our stay at Ritz London this past weekend. Here’s my takeaways (we traveled to London on the first day and left London on our last so our time was limited at the hotel):
* The service is impeccable. It was stalwart and not obsequious.
* The history is palpable. It feels like a Time Machine in the best way.
* The interiors are immaculate whether it’s your personal style or not.
* The dining options are vast considering. Fancy dinner, fancy tea, the bar, the cigar lounge, room service. We did breakfast in the Dining Room which was a highlight, had a burger and fish sticks in the bar, and enjoyed a Cuban & scotch in the cigar lounge. All were lovely! Next time we will do dinner and tea because there will be a next time.
* The location is unrivaled. See a show? Shop at Harrods? Visit Chuck and what’s her name? All walkable.
* The souvenirs available to purchase are high quality and worthy of taking back to your dog sitter, MiL, et al.
* The rooms (of which we had the regular sort) are gorgeously appointed and comfortable. Yet, this is my biggest demerit, they are a bit dowdy. Sure, it’s an old but the shower is a bit like a boat shower by size though the water pressure is fab.

I vacillated & googled repeatedly things like “best hotels in London”, “Savoy vs Ritz”, “best place to stay in London”, you get the idea. Ultimately, we are very glad to have stayed there and all already planning our next visit, maybe as soon as this weekend!
