The
Hôtel Ritz is a grand palatial hotel in the heart of Paris, the 1st arrondissement. It overlooks the octagonal border of the Place
Vendôme at number 15. The hotel is ranked
highly among the most prestigious and luxurious hotels in the world and is a
member of "The Leading Hotels of
the World".
The
hotel, which today has 159 rooms, was founded by the Swiss hotelier, César
Ritz, in collaboration with the chef Auguste
Escoffier in 1898. The new hotel was
constructed behind the façade of an 18th century town house, overlooking one of
Paris's central squares. It was reportedly the first hotel in Europe to provide
a bathroom en suite,
a telephone and electricity for each room. It quickly established a reputation for
luxury, with clients including 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 Ernest Hemingway
who lived at the hotel for years. One of the bars of the hotel, Bar
Hemingway, is devoted to Hemingway and the L'Espadon is a
world-renowned restaurant, attracting aspiring chefs from all over the world
who come to learn at the adjacent Ritz-Escoffier School. The grandest suite of
the hotel, called the Imperial, has been listed by the French government as a
national monument in its own right.
During
the Second World War, the hotel was taken over by the occupying Germans as the
local headquarters of the Luftwaffe. After the death of Ritz's son Charles, in 1976, the last members of the Ritz family to own the
hotel sold it in 1979 to the Egyptian businessman Mohamed
Al-Fayed. In August 1997, Diana, Princess of Wales and Al-Fayed's son, Dodi, dined in the hotel's Imperial Suite before their fatal car
crash.
Because
of its status as a symbol of high society and luxury, the hotel has featured in
many notable works of fiction including the novels: F. Scott Fitzgerald's
Tender Is The Night and Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises, Noël
Coward's play Semi-Monde and films such as Billy
Wilder's 1957 comedy Love in the
Afternoon, and the 1966 movie How to Steal a
Million.
