When César Ritz opened the Ritz Paris on the Place Vendôme in 1898, he set a new standard for luxury hospitality — and the hotel's name entered the language as a synonym for elegance and glamour ("ritzy"). Over more than a century it has hosted royalty, celebrities, and legends, from Coco Chanel (who lived here for decades) to Ernest Hemingway and countless others, and a multi-year restoration completed in the 2010s renewed it for a new era.
The hotel is the picture of timeless French luxury: opulent, classically appointed rooms and suites (several named for famous former guests), gardens and courtyards at its center, and a roster of acclaimed dining and drinking venues — including the famous, intimate Bar Hemingway. The Ritz Club spa, with its grand pool, is a destination in itself, and the hotel even houses the École Ritz Escoffier cooking school. Service is the gold standard, gracious and discreet.
Its Place Vendôme setting is the heart of luxury Paris — surrounded by the world's great jewelry houses, steps from the rue Saint-Honoré's fashion boutiques, the Tuileries, the Louvre, and the Opéra. The Ritz Paris suits travelers seeking the ultimate in legendary, classic Parisian luxury and a setting that's as glamorous as the hotel itself.
