History
The Ritz Hotel was opened on May 25th 1906, on the site of the Walsingham House Hotel, formerly the Bath Hotel.
Conceived by renowned hotelier César Ritz, The Ritz owes its architectural design to an extremely successful partnership formed in 1900 between Frenchman Charles Mewès, and Englishman Arthur Davis.
