The Ritz Restaurant is a formal place in which to dine, for lunch and dinner at least; men are required to wear a jacket and tie, except for breakfast. Friday and Saturday evenings are among the week’s highlights as they are the times when a band accompanies a four-course meal under the title Live at the Ritz.

This classy bar is home to Art Deco designs and is a stylish setting for drinks of varying kinds. As with the restaurant and the Palm Court the Rivoli Bar requires smart dress.

The Ritz Hotel London is known the world over for its role as an afternoon tea destination and it fittingly retains its status as a member of the Tea Guild. Pastries, tea, sandwiches and scones are among the choices in this sumptuous and attractive setting at the heart of the nation’s capital.
