The Ritz opened to great acclaim in 1906 and throughout its 111 year history the famous and the fashionable have been attracted to this legendary hotel. In 1995 The Ritz was returned to private British ownership and almost immediately a complete refurbishment began on the Grade 11 star listed building. Twelve years later the hotel has been fully restored with no detail left untouched. In 2002 The Ritz received a Royal Warrant for Banqueting and Catering Services. Awarded by His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales, The Ritz is the first, and only, hotel to have been honoured with this prestigious award. In November 2006 The Ritz opened William Kent House, the Grade 11 star listed building adjoining the hotel featuring an exquisite collection of lavishly decorated reception rooms ideally appointed for both business or social entertaining. Designed in the 1740’s by the renowned 18th century architect William Kent, from whom the house now takes its name, the historic mansion was acquired by The Ritz in 2005. After an extensive period of restoration and renovation in keeping with its original décor, the majesty of the William Kent House interiors is now resplendently reborn and five new banquet rooms provide a varied selection of venue space for elegant dining, bespoke meetings and conferences, gala occasions and weddings.
