Few addresses in London possess a relationship with fashion as enduring as The Ritz. Since its opening in 1906, the hotel has served as a stage where style has always played a leading role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The glamour of post-war couture clients, the arrival of Swinging Sixties designers, and the modern wave of British fashion innovators have all passed through its gilded doors. The suites have served as temporary ateliers, and celebratory dinners at the Two Michelin-starred Ritz Restaurant<\/a> have followed triumphant runway debuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
