“The old-world, white-glove end of the scale, a casino that belongs to one of London’s most famous hotels.”
The Ritz Club sits beneath The Ritz on Piccadilly, and it has the quiet confidence you would expect of the address. It is closer to a members’ salon than a leisure complex, and it rewards those who enjoy ceremony.
As a resort weekend it is the formal option: afternoon tea upstairs, a suite for the night and a measured evening downstairs.
Private tables and a restrained, dressy atmosphere, with the emphasis on service rather than spectacle. Access follows membership and entry rules that are stricter than at a high-street casino.
The hotel is the same historic building, so the stay really is the venue. Rooms and suites are among the most expensive in this guide, and prices should be confirmed directly with the hotel.
Dress formally and bring photo ID. Entry is for members and invited guests, so check how to apply or whether guests are admitted before you plan the trip. Confirm every detail with the club.
