Guests can chill in the wicker chairs on the wooden decking, amongst the trees and under a canopy of leaves, next to a perfectly manicured lawn, surrounded by unmistakably Parisian architecture, whilst listening to the electro sounds of the guest (often celeb) DJs. It's a far cry from being on a roadside terrasse with its accompanying beeping of horns, traffic fumes and general hoi polloi passers by. This is altogether more exclusive -- as, indeed, you would expect from The Ritz -- with a faint whiff of marina about it, as if your Sunseeker were docked just nearby, perhaps (The Ritz is the stuff of dreams, after all). Or maybe we were just sitting too close to the sushi and the champagne was going to our heads...

the Ritz is always a bit hard on the wallet - but I like the look of the terrace and I'm always on the lookout for outdoor drinking options in the summer. will give it a try!
ReplyDeleteI love champagne but I am afraid this venue may have to remain in my dreams for a little while longer. Oh well, a balcony over looking the Okanagan lake with Okanagan Brut isn't so bad either!
ReplyDeleteLovely post!

Sigh. I want to spend my summer sipping champagne on the Ritz's terrace!
