The Ritz Afternoon Tea | Inside London's Most Luxury Hotel

[@TheFiown]

Some years ago in Paris during quite a very 'low' period of my life I had just bought some English papers on the Rue de Rivoli and as I passed the Ritz on Place Vendome I popped in hoping for tea. A very polite lady in charge told me that all the tables were reserved and it would have been better to book ahead. I thanked her and turned to leave when she caught up with me and touching my shoulder she asked me to wait and she would be back. A few minutes later she was back and told me that a young man would come out of a side door and I was to follow him. I did and he took me down the corridor to the very private hotel pool area where they had set up a table on the balcony overlooking the pool with white linen and silver, just one table. I was stunned and ordered tea and cake and sat writing and reading for about 40 minutes before paying and making my way back to the foyer. I asked to speak with the lady in question and when she appeared I hugged her and asked her 'why'? She said that she saw something in my eyes and knew that she had the power to change that so she did. Her name was Marie Claude and I will never ever forget her.

I immediately noticed the noise in the room. That’s because people don’t know how to talk these days! Everyone bellows at each other instead of considering the neighbouring tables.

[@saraswatkin9226]

Because most are loud tourists.

Unfortunately, these people are not rich, or what you would define as rich or wealthy It doesn’t work like this

[@robertreid2499]

the host just gave the finger to you in less than the first five minutes and that's not what you noticed?

[@patricialivingston5349]

The UK is still better than other countries. I am a Brit, residing in FL, US. I don't enjoy a noisy environment, so the UK is quieter! I think people are now used to bellowing on cell phones. Mine stays in my bag, unless I'm alone in a quiet space!

[@DefMe008]

Oh shut up.

[@myhappynest6125]

In 2017 during the Christmas season my husband and I were traveling to the UK with our best friends. I reserved months in advance a Christmas Tea for us all at the Ritz. It did not disappoint. The Christmas decor was stunning. Everyone was dressed up and it was so festive. We had a wonderful table in a corner of the Palm Court. There were Christmas Carolers by the piano. This is one of my best memories 😍

[@kitchen.design-hz8gi]

Yes Best ❤

[@annainaspen]

Thanks to you and your sister for the vlog. I’ve done the Ritz Tea in Paris three or four times. The Paris version is completely different than the London Tea. The Paris version is a “French Tea.” That means it is only cakes/sweet foods, not savory foods. The setting in Paris is much calmer and you are not rushed at all. If you decide to jump on the Eurostar to Paris for a day trip, make a reservation to have tea at the Ritz Paris.

[@ann-marie9621]

I have never heard of a French Tea. I want it 😁

[@kitchen.design-hz8gi]

Perfekt ❤

[@amelitadolorico2921]

Many years ago I was in Paris for a while and invited a visiting friend to the Paris Ritz for tea. It was, as you said, different from an English tea. We ordered "deux quarts de champagne" (two quarter bottles of champagne) and some cake. As I was walking back to my apartment on the left bank I heard this most angelic sound from Notre Dame. The Pope happened to be i Paris and a choir was singing from the cathedral. Unforgettable afternoon.

I never feel like an outsider looking in when I watch any of your vlogs. No matter where we go or what we do, in addition to wonderful photography and solid editing, you have this natural ability to make your audience feel right there with you in the moment. It's always time well spent in good company.

[@betseykimbrell723]

My husband and. I were there summer of 22. we had a completely different experience.I never poured my own tea. So much food -we had champagne food was wonderful and my husband andI don't eat meat and they accommodated us nicely we ate at 530pm so it was our dinner ...nice video and good content thank you!

[@jenniferarcher1593]

Our sons treated us to Afternoon Tea at the Ritz for our 40th wedding anniversary. We loved it! We had strolled around London,including Oxford Sreet which we used to love visiting as newly weds. It's not quite as exciting nowadays! After the tea we walked through Green Park(i think it was Green Park!) and stood outside Buckingham Palace which I had never seen and then a long walk back to find a train home. London is fascinating city. We recently celebrated our Golden Wedding a bit more low key with a family lunch,low key but lovely.

[@Weight-Loss..]

I'm enchanted by the timeless charm of The Ritz. Afternoon tea here is an unforgettable experience, and this video captures its essence beautifully.🥂

[@robertarobel4715]

I had lunch at the Ritz 30 years ago with a group I traveled with, it was very beautiful, pink tablecloths and green velvet chairs. It was a surprise to see how much it has changed, however it's a great experience in the now!❤

[@monicahowley2518]

Thank you for reviewing The Ritz and the afternoon tea, I honestly couldn’t believe that they didn’t pour the coffee tea for you and 12% service charge.!! The whole place was luxurious. It did seemed rushed for almost £80 each.

[@sabinekoch3448]

Yes- my goodness…I had a much better experience at the Dorchester in June this year.

[@dr.k.prashant5967]

Thank you so very much for sharing such a magnificent with all of us. That was very generous of you! I know you'd both have enjoyed your tea and pastries much more if you didn't have to film it, but it just shows how kind you are!

[@Pure_B]

"Do you want me to be honest?" Always Hannah. 😂 Your dress is beautiful. You look stunning. Weird seating arrangement seating you both next to each other like that. Those sandwiches don't look great. "It's giving me Tesco meal deal". Brutal honesty. Love it. 🤣😂 "You're not allowed to take the sandwiches away". Maybe that's a good thing after your review. 🤣

[@HannahRicketts]

Thank you!! 😊

[@quickclipsbyjmj]

Taking away sandwiches means they have fewer to refresh and replate for the next customers. Also, it stops people testing the ingredients or quality, in a lab.

[@Pure_B]

@@quickclipsbyjmj You mean they serve the uneaten sandwiches to other customers? Ewww no wonder they look so stale.

[@mindygonzalez381]

I love your videos and was just in London with my husband for the week. We heard you say a few times in your videos “half eleven” what time is that? 10:30 or 11:30? Haha silly American question 😂

[@quickclipsbyjmj]

@@mindygonzalez381 the clue is in the quote - half (past) eleven.

[@jerrijames2224]

It’s nice they dress up. The food looked good. The décor is beautiful.

[@janeorson5452]

Oh dear! I'm going to the Ritz in March and now you've really put me off! When we went to the Savoy a few years ago, we were there for over 2 hours and couldn't believe how quickly the time went. Also, I picked my teapot up and a waitress sped over and said, "Allow me to do that for you Madam!" Oh well, I've booked it now and was really excited about going. Never mind!

[@sugarcan1110]

Yes the noise is like a canteen ...paying those prices i don't want to listen to the cutlery and voices no time to enjoy experience

[@bettycollins3960]

I am sure the 'doggy bag' is a fairly new innovation. It was not available when I went 20+ years ago. What a good idea.

[@emjayvick511]

Been there forcat least last 8 years

[@deelirious]

The noise would drive me bonkers. Thanks for sharing the experience.

[@jamesspeytebroodt7237]

The ladies come over as truly genuine and authentic. I agree with them re time and cosyness

[@suemills5108]

I will be honest, I don’t think that is worth £70. those sandwiches looked as cheap as anything, and it’s disappointing to not have fresh, warm scones. Top that with the loud background noise and uncomfortable seating at those tables and feeling rushed to get back out of the door.. nope. It’s a no for me.

[@itsabouttime8680]

Yes, I'm with you - agree 100%.

[@marianamendes5192]

I loved the dinner I had for my birthday last year as a gift from my friend was very fun and the food is very good. Would I go often? Of course not it’s a very occasional treat. Maybe it’s good to try before saying no 😄. At least it’s my opinion I agree I wouldn’t go expensive places like that often they are meant for special occasions it’s nice to treat yourself sometimes. That lady looks very nice and I enjoy her videos unfortunately I can’t afford going to the shop she goes. 😄 She looks to be quite regal.

[@lindacosta5688]

⁠@@itsabouttime8680 It’s the experience of being at the Ritz having tea. It was the same way as having tea at the Empress in British Columbia. It’s not just the food, it’s the whole experience:)

[@shraddashradda]

You really just paying for the surroundings and experience. The Savoy was nice for afternoon tea in the 90s. It was 35 GBP pp back then!

[@IrishAnnie]

It seems like a once in a lifetime “Tea” for a special tourists lunch, celebration tea. You may not every do it twice.

[@jmc8847]

Thank you Hannah for this lovely vlog. You made me feel I was having afternoon with you and your sister at the Ritz! 💕

[@claudipereira6729]

Hi Hannah! I went for the Christmas afternoon tea and I had a similar experience to you, sandwiches were very underwhelming and we found the scones not the best. We did like the savoury cakes however, for £102 per person it was not really worth it even though the room and vibes were nice. I haven’t been to Claridges yet, it’s on my go to next!

[@claudipereira6729]

Btw to book for the Ritz Christmas afternoon tea you need to email them or call early May time. Also they start releasing dates on their online booking system from around early to mid May time! Also I completely agree, the experience did feel abit rushed, we were in and out within an hour and a half. We did notice this and it did slightly ruin what was meant to be such a special occasion.

[@BB-ws3ls]

Hello: Enjoyed watching and listening to you and your sister. You are both very real about what you are experiencing rather than portraying the experience as over the top when it's not. Thank you for being candid. My daughter & I will visit London this summer for the first time.

Hannah…Thank you for taking us with you. Like yourself when you’re paying that sort of money you want to be able to chill, relax and enjoy. After all it is called Afternoon Tea and for most folk that’s means a comfortable sit down and relax with your cup of tea 🫖 Thank you for your honesty and letting us see you spending quality time with your sister. Take care

[@timothyj1966]

Canada here --- visited ten yrs ago. We had 2 Phenomenal Teas---- One was at Brown's where the Sandwiches were non-stop ( 2 Canadian guys here with appetites) more of a relaxed English vibe - but good enough for Queen Victoria, and also the other Tea was at our Hotel. County Hall Marriot at Westminster - which is done in the Library over looking the River was a really quiet little room with pictures of the Men from Wimbleton... Murray Djokovic etc...having Tea there as well. Just discovered your Channel today and enjoying it so much. Anglophile here English Heritage.

Hi Hannah, it’s a tough job but someone has to do it :) Thanks for letting us come with you and your lovely sister. I remember going for afternoon tea at the Ritz almost 25 years ago (OMG) and it was an experience i still remember fondly.

[@misscherrybourbon9717]

If you ever visit Edinburgh, I'd 100% recommend having afternoon tea at the Signet Library, it's the same price as the Ritz but you get so much food and and can spend ages chatting, it's so relaxed and you don't have to get dressed up at all.

[@sarapanzarella97]

These videos are so valuable for those of us who may only get to pick one experience like this in the lucky chance we get to London! We have been to London once (did the Brigits bakery bus Christmas tea a few hours after landing in London and Loved it) and hope to come again this year and I will ALWAYS make sure to book a tea when we come.

@@margaretbulloch8465men do need ties and a jacket, I got that wrong!

[@Redwhiteblue-gr5em]

I thought the Ritz Afternoon Tea was going to be better. I been to Afternoon Tea at the Waldorf Astoria and Mandarin Oriental in Washington DC several times and the quality of the sandwiches and sweets looks to be fancier and very gourmet like. And probably tastier. And at the Mandarin Oriental the portions were larger, especially the scones. Also think each person received about 5 different sweets at the Mandarin. However the setting and decor at the Ritz looks so beautiful and elegant. Definitely nicer than the two hotels in the US that I experienced. So if I ever make it to London high on my must do list will be Afternoon Tea or two.

[@simonecarter6506]

Loved this vlog. I took my niece to Fortnums for afternoon tea back in 2013. Was a bucket list tick for me. Molly hadn’t experienced anything like this and we both loved it. Afternoon tea has taken off in Melbourne Australia over the past few years as the tourists from Asia love it. I liked that you were honest with your review. And I would expect a pretty high standard from the Ritz so your feedback is appreciated.

[@gigiknowsbest7391]

Sketch is where we love to take out of towers. It’s fun, not rushed, you feel pampered,the uniform dress is top notch! The bathrooms are super fun and everyone takes a trip up the stairs for photo ops and no one makes you feel uncomfortable. it’s dressy, but worth it.

[@mikef445]

It's always a good day when the Ricketts girls are together. Of course the Ritz is the picture of elegance, but I don't know if you got good value for your hard earned money. Afternoon tea is always something I admired about British culture and you guys did it with absolute class. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to your next vlog. Your friend Mike.

[@pageremick5504]

I'll be coming to London (from the U.S.) and I want the type of tea experience that you missed: relaxed, take your time, not rushed, comfortable and not loud either. I'd love to see a video from you two on what you think is the best tea experience in London (without caring about the price if the experience is a 10). Thanks. This was informative!

Hello ladies! This is the first video of yours that I watched. Love your attitude and easy-going manner. I was blessed with a very fine taste for food, art and architecture but cursed with a totally inadequate budget for it 😭 😭 😭 That is why I do most of my "travelling" on the Internet.

Forgot to say, jam first on the scone, and then the cream!

[@parambhatty998]

You mustn't be a slave to rules. The important thing is to feel relaxed and happy. So long as what you do doesn't impact negatively on other diners then it's just fine. The only rule that applies is: enjoy!

In the UK whether the cream or jam goes first depends on which part of the UK you're from.

Great vlog Hannah, always enjoy your content.

Lots of space between tables, carpet on the floor so not noisy, fantastic piano player, great service, food was really good and very generous servings and they didn’t rush us at all. We had 2 hours and it was great. Was good value, I think was £60pp and I would recommend. Going to try Claridges next.

Thank you for this... I'm planning on hosting my own tea (just me and my bestie), so hope it turns out well. Regarding dressing up, though, I'm glad they have a dress code and don't allow people to look like they rolled out of bed. I say we need to bring back a bit of formality. FFS, it won't kill us to not look like slobs for a couple of hours. Oh, no, heaven forbid you have to wear a TIE or a JACKET. Now I am totally with you on uncomfortable shoes though. You both looked very nice!

I’ve watched this video a couple times. I know Hannah’s job is in fashion but she is very good at editing these videos as well. Especially the beginning of this video with the music in sync with the shots of the Ritz. Very well done Hannah!

Out of all your blogs, I like the afternoon tea ones the best. This was was wonderful. Please do Claridges and the Corinthia! Thank you.

[@irishinusa1615]

Thank you Hannah. Please try Claridges for afternoon tea. Especially in December 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️

[@sharonsmith583]

Your blogs are always so fun! As an American, I would totally splurge on this but I don't think if I lived in London I would.

I have been to the Harrods one which was nice despite me getting a fine going there for doing a right turn where there were no right turns allowed!! Really enjoyed your one and nice to see your sis. The piano guy at Harrods really annoyed me as it was so loud couldn't hear myself talk.

The afternoon tea has always been overrated in my opinion, the venue is absolutely stunning and well worth a visit. You both looked stunning! 😍

« Est-ce que l’ambiance est convenable. » J’aime beaucoup ( le décor )

[@shirleythurston4213]

Thank you so much Hannah for taking us along with you to The Ritz!! You both look amazing, and I certainly appreciate your honesty. When I’m next over there an afternoon tea is one of the first things I’m going to have, mainly because I’m years overdue for my “clotted cream fix”, lol. Joking aside, I just love all the places you go .. you always entertain us so beautifully ❤️ See you next week xx

[@HannahRicketts]

Thank you so much!!

PLZ TELL US WHO YOU WOULD RATE A #10 🎉😂❤

This was really good!! I put cream first because I think it’s a bit like butter … butter/cream first then the jam

[@jamestaylor3811]

Great video Hannah! When it comes to cream tea, I always put jam first then cream (not sure which county method that is!) as I find it easier to spread the cream on top of the jam rather than the other way round.

[@ziggystardust3060]

Jam first is the Cornish way; cream first is the Devonshire way. ☕🍰

[@sonaterese799]

I'm from Devon and we do cream first - it is the sensible way

[@LCLand]

Show us how you take your tea please. Cream? Sugar? One lump? Happy you did take the two cakes at the end. I thought you would. 😅 I would too!

[@emjayvick511]

You can take as many as you like..

[@carolem6354]

Hi Hannah and Nat, the goodie bag to take home is also sweet to share the cakes with your nieces. A little treat for them too. I am enjoying you both as a team ranking your tea experiences. You both looked lovely and looking forward for more to come!

[@lyubasky2726]

Very interesting and informative. I I’m glad to found your channel. Look forward to watch more Thank you.
