The owner of The Ritz London in 2023 is Abdulhadi Mana Al-Hajri, a Qatari businessman who acquired the hotel in March 2020[1][7]. He is also known as the brother-in-law of the ruling Emir of Qatar, making the Al-Hajri and Al-Thani families prominent stakeholders in luxury London real estate[1].
Abdulhadi Mana Al-Hajri purchased The Ritz London from the Barclay family, who had owned the hotel since 1995[2][7]. The sale was reported to be around £800 million and occurred during the early phase of the COVID-19 lockdown in the UK[1]. The Ritz London remains one of the city’s most famous luxury hotels, continuing its tradition of historic and cultural significance under its new Qatari ownership[7].
