For the last word in jaw-dropping glamour, it has to be The Ritz. Famed for its unabashed opulence and grandeur, the hotel has played host to numerous royal soirées over the years, including a party for the then-Prince of Wales’s 54th birthday in 2002 and the late Queen’s 80th birthday celebrations in 2006, which took place throughout the entire ground floor of the hotel and The Ritz Club. The spectacular Palm Court, with its gilded ceiling and crystal chandeliers, is home to the most famous afternoon tea in London, while the rooms and suites retain their original Louis XVI style in a sumptuous palette of pinks, yellows and blues.
For the Coronation: On Saturday 6 May 2023 The Ritz will be hosting a grand Coronation Ball, starting with a Champagne and canapé reception in the Palm Court before settling down to a five-course dinner with matching wines in the Michelin-starred Ritz Restaurant. To top things off, the night will end with a special performance by the BBC Big Band.
Address: The Ritz London, 150 Piccadilly, St. James’s, London W1J 9BR
