Legendary Ritz Paris Reopens

The 117-year-old landmark closed in 2012 for a top-to-bottom restoration by celebrated architect and designer Thierry W. Despont. The grand hotel now features a 50-50 ratio of suites to rooms; a renovated Bar Hemingway, dedicated to the novelist and frequent guest; the world's first and only Chanel Spa; and a tunnel from the parking facility to the hotel for private VIP entrances.

Accommodations are furnished with museum-quality antiques that have been expertly restored, and bathrooms offer TVs, heated floors, plus a separate shower and bath. Two lush gardens span a city block, providing hotel guests with an oasis in the city's center. A retractable roof and heated floors enable guests to dine on the terrace year round.

The property offers three restaurants and three bars, including L'Espadon for a gastronomic experience under the direction of Chef Nicolas Sale; a magnetic gathering and dining spot called Bar Vendome; a new informal bistro named the Ritz Bar; the beloved Bar Hemingway; and the Salon Proust, a new lobby feature with book-lined walls and afternoon tea service. The luxurious hotel also is equipped with 8 gorgeous banquet, meeting and convention facilities to satisfy any and all event needs.
