A number of hotels in London could vie for the coveted title of the most famous hotel in this historic city with several possible candidates. The hotel industry has been an integral part of the city since well over a century and today is a burgeoning one with a large number of hotels of every class and size catering to an extensive clientele from tourists to businessmen.

But the obvious choice for the most famous hotel would be The Ritz Hotel from the class of hotels known as traditional grand hotels. The Ritz Hotel, said to be the most famous hotel in the World too, has become one of the major landmarks of London situated in Piccadilly and started in 1906.

The hotel's founder Swiss hotelier Cesar Ritz may be considered as the pioneer of today's UK hotel industry as he was the first to introduce innovative measures with regards to service.

Other famous London hotels are The Waldorf Hilton, The Savoy, The London Hilton, Claridge's, The Connaught Hotel, The Dorchester Hotel and The Lanesborough Hotel among others.
