Ritz Hotel on London's Piccadilly w1. Famed Swiss hotelier César Ritz opened the hotel on May 24, 1906. The building is neoclassical in the Louis XVI manner, built during the Belle Époque to resemble a stylish Parisian block of flats, over arcades that consciously evoked the Rue de Rivoli. Its architects were Charles Mewès, who had previously designed Ritz's Hôtel Ritz Paris, and Arthur Davis, with engineering collaboration by the Swedish engineer Sven Bylander. It was the first substantial steel-frame structure in London. #brackendale_capital #Hotel_London #Hotel_w1 #Ritz #Ritz_Hotel #Ritz_Hotel_London #worldin3d #wwwworldin3dcom
