In the 126 years since its foundation, the Ritz Paris has become not only a symbol of the French Art de Vivre lifestyle but also a true must-see and must-visit attraction in Paris. The hotel has hosted dignitaries and luminaries who have shaped European culture, such as Marcel Proust, Frédéric Chopin, Maria Callas, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Coco Chanel. César Ritz, the hotel’s founder, used an 18th-century aristocratic mansion as his inspiration to construct what is now the most elegant and technologically advanced hotel in Place Vendôme. To this day, the Ritz Paris continues to set the standard. Each of the 71 rooms and 71 suites, adorned in opulent Empire style, boasts cutting-edge technology and is unparalleled in Paris.
Guests at the hotel can immerse themselves in true Parisian life by staying in a townhouse with views of a splendid garden.
Alternatively, they can enjoy a meal under the stars at the L’Espadon restaurant terrace overlooking the Grand Jardin. The restaurant, reopened last fall after renovations and led by Chef Eugénie Béziat, earned a Michelin star from the 2024 Red Guide just six months later. This accolade undoubtedly celebrates Eugenie’s craftsmanship and her distinctive culinary style that melds African and Provençal flavors. As Eugénie Béziat eloquently put it: “This is French cuisine constantly seeking extraordinary tastes and scents. These are reflections of the earth’s heat, smoky undertones, the scent of fresh mango, and memories of the coveted ice-cold bissap syrup made from hibiscus flowers, a popular treat after school… It’s a fusion of sea breeze and hot coals!”
