Building Relief Detail - The Ritz (02)
The Ritz
Swiss hotelier Cesar Ritz, formerly manager of ‘The Savoy Hotel’ opened the Ritz on 24/05/1906. Neoclassical in the Louis XVI style to resemble a stylish block of Parisian flats. The architects were Charles Mewes and Arthur Davis. Swedish engineer Sven Bylander collaborated with the building.
Located in Piccadilly, almost opposite The Royal Academy. The building relief detail is over the main entrance to the hotel. A much better view is from an open-deck bus, a great way to see a side of the city which isn’t always obvious.
