Hôtel Ritz in Paris

Hôtel Ritz occupies Place Vendôme in Paris’s 1st arrondissement. César Ritz founded the hotel in 1898 and gave it his name. The property description also records the property’s long association with prominent international guests.

Place Vendôme setting

Place Vendôme is the clearest geographical reference for the hotel. It places the property in central Paris and within the 1st arrondissement specified by the directory entry. The directory entry does not provide dependable arrival directions, so travellers should check an up-to-date route before setting out.

Rooms and suites

The accommodation described in the directory entry comprises 159 rooms, including 56 suites and six prestige suites. Listed room amenities include Wi-Fi, television, a safe, radio and a minibar. Bathrooms are described as having a separate shower and a whirlpool bath.

These figures provide a useful outline of the room mix recorded by the French article. Room categories, layouts and included amenities can change, so a particular requirement should be confirmed when booking.

Dining and leisure

L’Espadon is the restaurant named in the directory entry. It also identifies three separate bars: Bar Vendôme, Ritz Bar and Bar Hemingway. Restaurant distinctions and opening arrangements are not repeated here because they may no longer reflect current operation.

The leisure facilities listed by the directory entry are a fitness room, a beauty salon and a private swimming pool. Access arrangements and the services available in each area should be reconfirmed through the hotel in advance of a stay.

Practical context

No historic room prices or reopening information from the French page have been carried over, as those details are time-sensitive. The stable points of reference are the Place Vendôme location, the 1898 foundation by César Ritz and the named spaces above; current booking conditions need separate confirmation.
