The Ritz, Piccadilly — the definitive London address, with Luxelimo at the door
The Ritz London on Piccadilly W1 has been synonymous with elegance and prestige since its opening in 1906 — the hotel that made a word into an adjective. Built by César Ritz and designed by Charles Mewès and Arthur Davis in the Louis XVI style, The Ritz's position at 150 Piccadilly W1 places it at the heart of St James's and Mayfair: overlooking Green Park, adjacent to Burlington Arcade, and within minutes of Bond Street, St James's Palace, and the gentlemen's clubs of Pall Mall. Luxelimo provides professional chauffeur service for guests of The Ritz — airport transfers, London journeys, Afternoon Tea transport, and evening events — at the level the hotel's address has always demanded.
The Ritz's Piccadilly location is excellent for ground transport connections. Heathrow is 45-55 minutes via the A4/M4 — a straightforward western route that is one of London's more consistent arterial roads. Gatwick is approximately 50-60 minutes south. London City Airport, for guests arriving from European business destinations, is approximately 35-40 minutes via the Embankment. For private aviation guests, Farnborough is approximately 45 minutes south-west, and Biggin Hill approximately 45 minutes south-east.
One of the distinctive Luxelimo services for The Ritz is transport for non-resident Afternoon Tea guests. The Ritz Afternoon Tea is among the world's most sought-after reservations, drawing visitors from hotels throughout London. Luxelimo provides arrivals at the Piccadilly entrance and timed return collections — removing the uncertainty of post-Afternoon Tea transport from what is otherwise a perfectly arranged experience.
