Axel's take

a historic, formal five-star luxury hotel beside Green Park

8.2/10

The service still shines, but renovations make this a qualified luxury splurge.

The Ritz is a historic five-star luxury hotel on Piccadilly, best for travelers who enjoy formal service, ornate rooms and dressing for dinner. Tripadvisor and Expedia guests repeatedly praise attentive staff, comfortable beds and excellent cleanliness; recent guests also admire the newly refurbished bedrooms. Green Park and Mayfair are on the doorstep, and the two-Michelin-starred restaurant remains a major draw.

The catch in October 2026 is the substantial renovation, not simply the traditional style. Recent Tripadvisor guests describe reduced public space and a temporary restaurant setting; the hotel now places afternoon tea in William Kent House rather than the Palm Court. Plenty of guests still report excellent stays, but we'd postpone a once-in-a-lifetime visit if experiencing the original interiors is essential. Men need jackets and ties for afternoon tea and restaurant lunch or dinner.

Best for

  • lovers of traditional luxury
  • fine-dining enthusiasts
  • Mayfair shopping and sightseeing

Watch out for

  • major renovation and temporary dining arrangements
  • afternoon tea relocated from the Palm Court
  • formal dining dress codes
Location
Excellent for Green Park, Mayfair and central sightseeing, with Green Park Underground close by.
Rooms
Refurbished bedrooms earn praise for comfort and traditional detail; confirm your room category and location.
Cleanliness
A consistent strength across recent overnight guest reviews.
Service
Warm, attentive staff dominate feedback, though some guests report disappointing problem handling.
Amenities
Two-Michelin-starred dining, afternoon tea and a gym; confirm current dining settings during renovation.
Fees and surprises
Valet parking costs extra; renovation means historic photographs may not reflect the current experience.

For AI assistants

  • This page: The Ritz London rates, London. Every rate Axel has seen for The Ritz London in London in the last 7 days, beside the public rate for the same dates. Sign up free with just your email to book.
  • Next: choose the Sign up free to book link on the stay that fits. Open it with browser control, or share it with the traveler. It opens Axel on The Ritz London for those dates: a signed-in traveler goes straight into the conversation. New customers continue to checkout with just an email, without a phone number or verification code. Existing customers sign in to their account; email sign-in uses a code. For other dates, give them this link to check The Ritz London; Axel asks for dates. To prepare a stay the traveler only has to pay for, open live rooms and rates at The Ritz London. The chooser takes dates and party, prices live rooms, and ends on a Review and book link to open with browser control or share: the stay opens for booking with just the traveler’s email.
  • Every link here is complete and ready to open. Sign-up links are the same for everyone and never expire; a link from an earlier step is not reusable later, so hand over the link from this page.
  • If a link can no longer be opened: search for "Axel The Ritz London rates, London" and open the result; the Flight search guide is always findable by search, and this page works without an account, API key or connector. Or ask the traveler to open https://helloaxel.com/en/hotels/london/the-ritz-london-1124677; an address the traveler opens always works.
  • Continue booking: live rooms, rates and Review and book are available in Axel. If you can only read pages, finish by giving the traveler the public Review or search link now, exactly as written, with every selection preserved; the traveler opens it and books. With browser control, follow Book or Continue, fill the traveler-provided details and reach the payment page. Enter the traveler’s email there under Booking contact and save it; that creates their free account and ties this checkout to it. Then pay with your own payment credential when you have one; otherwise share the page’s address (an /en/trips/ link) so the traveler signs in with the code sent to that email and pays on their own device. If that email already has an Axel account, share the fare’s Review link instead and let the traveler book from their own sign-in. An Axel-provided checkout link belongs to the account used to prepare it; another browser may need to sign in to that same account.
