The Leading Hotel of the World

The iconic Paris grande dame has been restored to its former Belle Époque glory after a resplendent interior renovation by acclaimed architect, Thierry W. Despont. Ritz Paris The reopened on June 6, 2016, a few days and 118 years after its original June 1, 1898, opening. One can stay in one of the luxurious rooms and suites, including the historic Prestige Suites named after the hotel’s most illustrious former guests (Coco Chanel, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Marcel Proust), featuring signature 19th century flourishes amid opulent contemporary comforts. Further aggrandizements to the property include three new restaurants, three bars, including the famed Bar Hemingway, presided over by head bartender, Colin Field, and gorgeous gardens and terraces with retractable roofs and heated floors, designed to be enjoyed all year-long. École Ritz Escoffier now benefits from a third demonstration kitchen, and the historic Salon Proust, with its wood-burning fireplace, hosts the Ritz Paris’ afternoon tea à La Française. There is also an indoor pool and modern fitness center, along with the signature Spa, where one can indulge in a CHANEL skin care treatment inside a private room at CHANEL au Ritz Paris. And speaking of privacy, a discreet underground tunnel provides unseen arrivals and departures from the hotel for guests who value the utmost in discretion.

About The Bar Hemingway:

Cole Porter would spend up to 9 hours a day in the Hemingway Bar: he's said to have composed "Begin the Beguine" here. F. Scott Fitzgerald had his favorite seat; Ernest Hemingway and Gary Cooper made it the epicenter of their life in Paris and would sit and talk for hours… The legend has long since been written - but here, it comes back to life every night. Head Barman Colin Peter Field's incredible creations are a reference for cocktail lovers the world over. And while guests flock to this warm, intimate alcove to see what he's shaking up, they also return, again and again, for the heady, arty spirit that still lingers in this magical place. The night begins and ends at the Ritz Paris.

About The Coco Chanel Suite

As a neighbor on the rue Cambon, Gabrielle Chanel decided one day in 1937 to take a suite at the Ritz Paris. She would stay for 34 years. She felt at home amid the hotel's luxury and elegance and gradually brought in her favorite furniture, such as Coromandel lacquered screens, gilded mirrors and a velvet banquette, until finally she had redecorated the whole space. "The Ritz is my home", she would tell visitors who admired her rock crystal chandeliers and art collection. Hers was a timeless world and the Ritz Paris has preserved it intact.
