Ritz Paris-BEYOND THE LEGEND

Since its opening on June 1, 1898, the Ritz Paris has been a symbol of elegance and the understated luxury of French art de vivre. The privacy and glamour of this unique environment immediately made it a gathering place for the greats of this world, royalty, artists and writers, first among them Marcel Proust and Ernest Hemingway. Always loyal to the Ritz Paris, Coco Chanel, Audrey Hepburn and Maria Callas contributed to the mystique of place Vendôme.
