The Ritz London occupies a landmark position on Piccadilly, overlooking the sweeping lawns of Green Park, and has welcomed families of the highest distinction for over a century. Generously proportioned suites, many with views across Green Park, provide the space and privacy that families with young children require. The hotel's celebrated kidz@theritz programme ensures children are greeted with age-appropriate welcome gifts, in-room games consoles, children's books and DVDs, and Ritz-monogrammed bathrobes. The Ritz Restaurant's kitchen crafts a dedicated children's menu worthy of its five-star setting. Two children under 15 stay complimentary using existing bedding. For guests travelling with elderly relatives, The Ritz maintains fully accessible rooms with level-entry showers, grab rails, emergency pull cords, and wheelchair-adapted facilities. While The Ritz does not accommodate pets, assistance and guide dogs are welcome without restriction.
The Ritz sits at the genteel junction of Piccadilly and Green Park — one of London's most gracious and walkable neighbourhoods. Green Park itself begins immediately opposite the hotel entrance, offering shaded pathways and open lawns perfect for morning walks before the city stirs. To the east lies the world-famous Burlington Arcade, Bond Street, and the bespoke boutiques of Mayfair; to the west, Hyde Park and Knightsbridge. The area is exceptionally safe, well-lit, and served by three nearby Underground stations: Green Park, Piccadilly Circus, and Hyde Park Corner.
