Hôtel Mansart - Esprit de France

Hôtel Ritz" redirects here. For other hotels, see Hotel Ritz. For the hotel chain, see Ritz-Carlton. For other uses, see Ritz (disambiguation).
The Ritz Paris is a hotel in central Paris, overlooking the Place Vendôme in the city's 1st arrondissement. A member of The Leading Hotels of the World marketing group, the Ritz Paris is ranked among the most luxurious hotels in the world.

The hotel was founded in 1898 by the Swiss hotelier César Ritz in collaboration with the French chef Auguste Escoffier. The hotel was constructed behind the façade of an eighteenth-century townhouse. It was among the first hotels in Europe to provide an en suite bathroom, electricity, and a telephone for each room. It quickly established a reputation for luxury and attracted a clientele that included royalty, politicians, writers, film stars, and singers. Several of its suites are named in honour of famous guests of the hotel including Coco Chanel, and the cocktail lounge Bar Hemingway pays tribute to writer Ernest Hemingway.

The hotel was renovated from 1980 to 1987 following its purchase by Mohamed Al-Fayed; and again from 2012 to 2016. While the hotel has not applied for the 'Palace' distinction from the French ministry of economy, industry and employment, its Suite Impériale has been listed by the French government as a national monument.

Because of its status as a symbol of high society and luxury, the hotel is featured in many notable works of fiction, including novels (F. Scott Fitzgerald's Tender Is the Night and Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises), a play (Noël Coward's play Semi-Monde), and films (Billy Wilder's 1957 comedy Love in the Afternoon and William Wyler's 1966 comedy How to Steal a Million).

I mean it’s Ritz Paris, does it get any better than this? Wife absolutely loved it, staff were unbelievable, service was quick, everything was perfect. Will be back with our daughter next year. I hope the staff remains the same.

I loved everything about my stay at hotel Mansart : the atmosphere, the location, the staff, the comfortable bed, and also it is very quiet which is amazing seen how it is located in the heart of Paris. A bit on the expensive side unfortunately.

great stay
wonderful hotel in a great location, staff were amazing, room was beyond fabulous,

Enjoyed our stay here and the surrounding area. Convenient to the Louvre and metro stations. Plenty of eateries nearby

Great value for the cost. Location is perfect, convenient. Close to many touristy spots. Staff was very welcoming and courteous. Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing brunch – worth every penny! The food was delicious, the service warm and attentive, and the garden setting simply stunning. I’ve never been disappointed by the Ritz, no matter the city, and Paris was no exception. I’ll definitely be coming back. Loved every moment!

Ritz Paris is like a museum. Every corner exudes history, embodying elegance and luxury, reflecting the magic of Paris in every detail. The interiors blend traditional Parisian style with modern touches, creating a timeless atmosphere. With every step, you feel like you’re walking through a masterpiece. Ritz Paris isn’t just a place to stay; it’s an experience—a perfect spot to feel the essence of the city and its history.

Only dislike was thin tub shower without higher safety handles. But that’s important for an old guy like me. Otherwise a great place and service

This is a great hotel surrounded by high end shopping and delicious restaurants and it’s only a short walk to the Louvre, the Tulieres Gardens, and several subway stations. It is in a safe, easily walkable, and family friendly neighborhood that my family and I enjoyed exploring.
