Inside the Ritz Hotel London | All episodes

For the first time in nearly 40 years, this fascinating documentary series invites cameras behind the scenes at one of the most famous hotels in the world. Showing life both upstairs and downstairs - with characters like head hall porter Michael de Cozar, who's been at the Ritz in London for 46 years, resident pianist Ian Gomes, who used to play for Frank Sinatra, and Michelin-starred executive chef John Williams, who regularly cooks for the royal family - this series offers a glimpse into a glamorous, gilded world of afternoon tea, celebrity parties and old-fashioned British gentility.
