Created by The Ritz Paris, a legendary hotel since 1898
In the heart of Paris, on Place Vendôme, the Ritz Paris is one of the most legendary hotels in the City of Lights. Refinement of French savoir-vivre meets elegance of Belle Époque décor. Exquisitely appointed 142 keys of absolute comfort bear the name of Coco Chanel, F. Scott Fitzgerald or Marcel Proust, all of whom considered the Ritz “like a second home”. Under the glass roof, in the shade of the linden trees in the Grand Jardin or in the hushed atmosphere of a few jazz notes played on the piano, the Ritz Paris is a place where all dreams come to life.Paris is a celebration, and the Ritz is the key.
