Michelin Guide "World famous... lavishly appointed and luxurious rooms."
Concierge "One of the world's famous hotels... opened in 1906, and is quite as lovely as it was in its first heyday—thanks largely to more than ten years of sympathetic private ownership."
Time Out "If you like the idea of a world where jeans and trainers are banned and jackets must be worn by gentlemen when dining (the requirement is waived for breakfast), the Ritz is for you." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A byword for pampering luxury since it opened in 1906, the Ritz continues to win awards for superior all-round service."
Star Service "The Ritz's clientele is composed of a comic, age-old dichotomy of jet-setting billionaires and splurging romantics. " Full review
Gayot "Built in 1906 by César Ritz, The Ritz London stands proud as the bastion of grand luxury and opulence."
Travel + Leisure "Designed in a French-chateau style and opened in 1906, The Ritz London neighbors Green Park and Buckingham Palace." Full review

BlackBook "With just 41 rooms, the Halkin by COMO is one of London's original boutique hotels, but what it lacks in mass in makes up for in service and amenities."
Zagat "Set behind a Georgian-style facade, this Belgravia boutique hotel features modern, cream-toned rooms and suites with marble bathrooms."
