Ritz Paris

1 / 10

The takeaway

Choose the Ritz Paris when Place Vendôme history matters as much as the stay itself, and you want a garden and indoor pool behind the façade.

About the hotel

Opened in 1898 on Place Vendôme, the Ritz Paris has 142 rooms and suites, with views that vary between the square, Paris rooftops and its Grand Jardin. Interiors retain an ornate character: wood paneling, silk and marble feature across the accommodations, while certain named suites preserve historic details. Behind the formal façades, guests can move between the garden, Bar Hemingway and the Ritz Club & Spa’s indoor pool—a notably varied experience within one central Paris hotel.

Choose it if

You want a Place Vendôme address with rooms or suites that can overlook the square or the hotel’s Grand Jardin.
You plan to use an indoor pool and spa between outings in central Paris.
You would make time for Bar Hemingway, Salon Proust or a class at École Ritz Escoffier.

Skip it if

You prefer restrained contemporary interiors to silk, gilding, wood paneling and marble.
You want a stay away from central Paris rather than on Place Vendôme.

Guest discussion

What real people are saying.

Reddit excerpts · separate from Rex’s editorial judgment

Guests praise the Ritz Paris’s location, and one recent visitor liked Espadon, all three bars and the gym. Another guest found it calm even with people around, though its ornate, old-school French decor will not suit every taste. Room choice and service may matter: one guest preferred a deluxe suite over a suite with low ceilings, while another felt dismissed when raising a concern about the water policy.

“Just stayed there. Location is A++. Espadon is pretty good and all three bars are nice. Decent gym too. I had a suite with a courtyard view and everything was great.”

“I liked the Ritz better because it never felt “busy” while I was there even when there were people around. But for the Ritz…you also have to like over the top old school French decor.”

“I was told that I was the only person who had ever been unsatisfied with their water policy and made to feel as though this was an extraordinary request.”

“Yeah we stayed in this suite once and it is my least favorite. The ceilings are so low. Much prefer one of the “lesser” deluxe suites.”

Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo

Monaco, Monaco

On Monaco’s Place du Casino, Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo puts guests in the middle of the principality’s grand public stage: the casino square, its event calendar and a steady sweep of city life. The Belle Époque palace dates to 1864 and now has 206 rooms, including suites; its restaurant roster includes Le Louis XV–Alain Ducasse and Le Grill, while historic wine cellars add a distinctive layer to the stay. The appeal is as much the address and its spectacle as the hotel itself.
