THE RITZ CARLTON PARIS
Located in Place Vendôme, the Ritz Paris is one of the most prestigious hotels in the world, renowned for its timeless elegance, exceptional service, and distinguished history. Since 1898, it has been a symbol of Parisian luxury, hosting legendary figures such as Coco Chanel and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Today, it continues to offer an unparalleled experience, blending classic French refinement with contemporary luxury.
At the heart of the Ritz’s fine dining experience is Espadon, its Michelin-starred restaurant, led by Chef Eugénie Béziat. Known for her unique culinary approach, Béziat draws inspiration from her African heritage and her upbringing in Provence, crafting a menu that highlights unexpected flavor combinations while honoring French gastronomy. Dishes feature seasonal ingredients, many sourced from the hotel’s own aromatic garden, with a focus on vibrant spices, fresh seafood, and delicate textures. Espadon has also been recognized for its commitment to sustainability, earning three Ecotable macaroons for its environmentally responsible practices.
The accommodations at the Ritz Paris are designed to provide the highest level of comfort and sophistication. Each suite reflects the grandeur of French interior design, with custom furnishings, rich fabrics, and historic details. The Prestige Suites, named after illustrious former guests, offer an experience reminiscent of a Parisian private residence, with grand living spaces, marble bathrooms, and views of Place Vendôme or the hotel’s Grand Jardin. For an even more exclusive stay, the Suite Impériale, inspired by the Palace of Versailles, features gold-leaf detailing, crystal chandeliers, and a salon modeled after Marie Antoinette’s private quarters.
Beyond its accommodations and fine dining, the Ritz Paris offers world-class amenities, including the Ritz Club, home to a stunning indoor pool and the Chanel au Ritz Paris spa, which provides exclusive beauty treatments inspired by the legacy of Gabrielle Chanel. With its combination of historic charm, refined cuisine, and opulent accommodations, the Ritz Paris remains one of the world’s most sought-after destinations for luxury travelers.
