Ritz Paris | closing for 2 years of renovations


The City of Paris has [finally] granted its approval, and the Ritz Paris will be closing its doors for two years to undertake needed renovations, scheduled to begin August 1, 2012. The hotel looks forward to welcoming back guests as of Summer, 2014.

The Ritz is a very special hotel set in one corner of the Place Vendome. Centrally located, it's a great location for shopping or walking to the major tourist destinations of Paris. I've stayed twice and enjoyed both visits, but the hotel really needs the refurbishment. According to the hotel's press release,
Rooms, suites, restaurants, bars, the spa and the famous Ritz Escoffier cooking school will all be carefully restored and recreated under the direction of the internationally renowned interior designer Thierry W. Despont. The Hotel's unique and celebrated gardens will also be embellished during the two year closure.
The Ritz remains open to guests until the end of July. Any booking made through your Virtuoso luxury travel consultant provides you with the following complimentary amenities:
  • Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability
  • Daily American breakfast served at the Espadon restaurant or via room service, for up to two in-room guests
  • VIP Treatment of mineral water, Ritz Champagne and homemade patisseries in room on arrival
    A 60 EUR Food & Beverage credit per room to be used during stay
