What is Inside The Ritz Hotel?
The series explores the workings of one of the greatest hotels in the world.
ITV has been granted access to the establishment to learn how the brand has managed to stand out from a host of luxury hotels.
Famous faces including Richard E Grant, Anna Wintour and Mo Salah visit the hotel and we find out how they prepare their famous Afternoon Tea.
The Piccadilly hotel is where former prime minister Margaret Thatcher died in a private suite in April 2013.
2) There is a cocktail named after the actress Tallulah Bankhead, who drank champagne out of her size four black suede shoe during a press conference held at The Ritz in 1951.
Before slurping down the drink, she cried out: "Winston Churchill is my god! I'm just mad about England. I mean Britain..."
3) Charlie Chaplin was mobbed outside the famous hotel by fans when he arrived there in September,1921.
He had to be escorted inside by roughly 40 policeman and once inside he threw carnations from his balcony to his adorers.
4) The Ritz has inspired songs including Irving Berlin’s 1927 song ‘Puttin’ on the Ritz’, which became a popular phrase in 1911.
