Traditional Elegance & Quiet
Three MICHELIN Keys · An extraordinary stay
Strictly speaking, there’s only one Ritz: the opulent Belle Époque edifice at 15 Place Vendôme, founded by César Ritz himself, in partnership with chef Auguste Escoffier. For many decades it was in a class of its own at the top of the luxury-hotel world, a world it played a major role in creating. And while these days it’s far from the only hotel of its kind, a 21st-century renovation has returned it to the glory of its early days, and — in spirit, at least — it’s once again worthy of legendary guests like Chopin, Proust, and Coco Chanel.
Architect Thierry Despont was tasked not with transforming the Ritz but improving it, while remaining true to its essential character. His adjustments are smart and subtle: Despont created more open space and light by raising ceilings here, adding windows there, installing a retractable glass roof atop the Espadon restaurant, and so on. The result is what the Ritz calls “modernized but with discretion.”
The rooms and suites, then, remain classic in aspect, retaining their iconic bedside tulip lamps and the valet bells beside the baths. The opulent Prestige Suites are named for the hotel’s most famous guests and residents, including F. Scott Fitzgerald, Frédéric Chopin, and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor; they are, it may go without saying, among the most extravagant accommodations in Paris.
To all this the Ritz adds a Spa and Club large enough to contain some lesser Parisian hotels in their entirety. And the bars and restaurants are the stuff of legend: from the Ritz Bar and the Hemingway Bar, full of relics from its namesake’s life, to the Salon Proust, the Bar Vendôme restaurant, and the award-winning Espadon.
