The Ritz, London. Perhaps the most well known hotel in the world. Its name is a by word for luxury and prestige. It was always meant to be that way.

Founded by Swiss hotelier César Ritz who was previously the manager of the Savoy the hotel, the hotel opened in may 1906. Ritz experience and focus on detail led to an exemplar hotel design. Corridors are wide enough for two ladies wearing crinolines petticoats to walk comfortably, side by side. Rooms were designed to be hygienic with fitted wardrobes, brass beds and  all modern conveniences. The impressively ornate ground floor suites and particularly the Palm Court are still unmatched today.

During World War II, Winston Churchill, Charles de Gaulle and Dwight D. Eisenhower met for summit meetings in the Marie Antoinette Suite. This private meeting space still retains its original Louis XVI furnishings, based on a salon in the Palace of Versailles
