Tea at the Ritz - London

 César Ritz, hoteleiro suíço criador do termo "ritzy", estava praticamente aposentado em 1906, quando o hotel com seu nome foi construído em Londres. As colunas que caracterizam o estilo-palácio do edifício lembram Paris, onde estavam os mais importantes hotéis da virada do século. hoje, já com nova direção e completamente restaurado, o Ritz mantem a mesma opulência eduardiana e é local muito procurado para tomar chá. O ambiente elegante e a atmosfera requintada dão um toque especial ao famoso chá inglês. O viajante recomenda reservar com pelo menos 12 semanas de antecedência uma mesa para o chá, que é delicioso. A experiência é inesquecível. Bom apetite!
