  • Come with me for an incredible luxury afternoon tea at The Ritz hotel here in London. One of the most iconic hotels in world, and one of the most expensive! The afternoon tea is £70 each, do you think was worth it?

    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.

    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 😍

    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.

      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 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.

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.

    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.

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!

    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!

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.

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.

    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.

    Lovely review of your experience at the Ritz. It seems like you and your sister thoroughly enjoyed yourselves. Thanks for pointing out the interior architecture and furnishings in your tour. I walked through briefly in November and saw the lobby decorated for Christmas but of course there weren’t tables available. We were able to have high tea at F&M and a dinner at Harrod’s Social during our stay. So much to sample in London but never enough time! Keep up your great tour experience videos!

    I love, love, love your videos!! We visited London for Christmas and unfortunately weren't able to book the afternoon tea at The Ritz; even 3.5 months in advance.... Instead, we went to Savoy and interestingly, we had the same experience as yours with their food and how quickly we had to leave. We loved everything about London. What a great city; and the people are soooooo nice! ❤❤

    The Ritz looks elegant but having seen this and having been to Claridge’s a few years ago, I’d pick Claridges. Everything was fresh and delicious. The surroundings were gorgeous. I went with my cousin and stayed for a long time. It was wonderful. Thanks for doing this review.

    This vlog of your afternoon tea 🫖☕🍰at the Ritz is really wonderful. Indeed, a very good choice! The Ritz architecture and decoration are amazing and perfect for any celebration. By the way, you and your sister Natalie were amazingly gorgeous! Everything was really perfect! Just missing a Rolls-Royce Phantom V or Bentley outside the hotel entrance waiting for you and Natalie! It is always so cool to see you two together commenting and interacting in your vlogs. I wish you two a wonderful FRIYAY!😀

    You girls were so precious. I’ve been watching so many tea times and different high-end places the Ritz of course is high up there you for sharing. I’ve been watching so many tees and I know they stirred the tea 6 to 12. And the scones they say do not use a knife just open them:-) your price was not bad. I would certainly pay it and all the Yummies that you took home with you. Love it. Wish I could go. thank you girls once again.❤❤

    Great vlog Hannah, always enjoy your content. We went to Afternoon Tea in Harrods in January and I wasn’t expecting it to be as good as the one at Fortnum and Masons, but have to say it was really good. 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.

    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. I fully agree with you both, the sandwiches were a bit mean and the pastries not very impressive. Thank you for putting subtitles as it was very noisy and I could not hear you well. Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

    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 don't enjoy being rushed. Just coffee with friends is usually 1 1/2 hrs. £70 is $Au125 then a service charge!!! I would expect the sandwiches to be super tasty and the cakes decorated with edible gold. Thanks for showing us The Ritz. We may pop our heads in when next in UK. Enjoyed your report.

    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! I won't go to the Ritz!
