Hôtel Ritz, Paris


Of course there are other luxury hotels in the city, but the Ritz Paris is in its own league. Legendary service, exquisite style, unparalleled comfort, fine dining, and one of the most beautiful locations in Paris is what you’ll find when you choose the Ritz. Every step of your trip will be overseen by a concierge staff that simply delights in making it all look seamless. From organizing all of your movements to finding tickets for a sold-out event to ensuring that your pets are also given five-star treatment—they anticipate and fulfil every desire.

It’s impossible to list all of the unique amenities that set the Ritz apart from other hotels, but among guests’ favourites are a six-hole putting and chipping green, onsite boutique shopping, exceptional cookery school, phenomenal restaurant with two Michelin stars, outstanding health club with the largest hotel pool in Paris, and personalized spa and beauty treatments.

The rooms and suites are an ideal blend of modern luxury and classical styling that indulge every one of your senses. Decorated with such opulent materials as rare woods, silks, and brocades created by master craftsmen—not to mention Carrara marble in the grand bathrooms—these stunning spaces are guaranteed to be everything you’ve dreamed and more. For a truly unforgettable experience, select one of the 10 specialty suites, including the Coco Chanel, Windsor, and Imperial.

Dining
The Ritz’ signature restaurant, L’Espadon, continues the hotel’s theme of classic elegance, with its glorious trompe-l’oeil ceiling and bright, airy feel. Award-winning chef Michel Roth has created the ultimate gourmet French cuisine menu, while a bottle from among the wine cellar’s 1,000 labels completes any meal. The Bar Vendome is a favourite rendezvous spot for chic Parisians and guests of the hotel, who delight in the light meals, afternoon tea, and cocktails served in an interior that expands into the garden in the summer. The Bar Hemingway is a refined space that features single malt whiskeys, beer from all over the world, tapas, and original cocktails. The Ritz Bar is a sophisticated champagne bar with red velvet seating and Victorian-inspired armchairs. The Pool Bar complements the serene pool atmosphere by providing light fare and delicious beverages.
Spa
One of the many wonders of the Ritz is its health club, with two gyms, daily fitness classes, and personal training. Other incredible features: the largest hotel pool in the city, set within an environment that recalls ancient Greek and Roman baths; body care treatments such as massages, wraps, and rejuvenating therapies; a beauty institute and hair salon; and much more.
