Presented to us as "one of the original examples of sophisticated living and refined excess" in this Lonely Planet Guide review, The Ritz is "synonymous" with "glamour and grandeur". Almost a century old, and supposedly "based on the designs of a French country house", it's more of a "French palace" style from the interior, rather than "a country cottage".
The guide describes the guestroom decorations as being "painted in fairytale colours", with "24-carat gold leaf designs", and "Louis XVI-style furniture". There are "private dining rooms", with "sparkling mirrors" which "glisten with gold leaf".
The author of this review insists that there is "something almost dreamlike" about the Ritz, which makes it such a "romantic place to stay". Also, we are told that the service "is second to none" with "two staff for every guest room".
