PARIS, France - Global travelers now have a new tempting
reason to visit Paris in 2016 - the iconic Ritz Paris reopens its doors today.
The 117-year-old landmark closed in 2012 for a top-to-bottom
restoration by celebrated architect and designer Thierry W. Despont. The grand
hotel now features a 50-50 ratio of suites to rooms: a renovated Bar Hemingway,
dedicated to the novelist and frequent guest; the world's first and only Chanel
Spa; and a tunnel from the parking facility to the hotel for private VIP
entrances. Behind the walls, the latest in technology has been added throughout
the hotel while great care has been taken to ensure that "the Ritz will
always be the Ritz."
"The luxury travel world has been eagerly awaiting the
rebirth of this iconic legend," said Albert Herrera, Virtuoso's senior
vice president of Global Product Partnerships. "Ritz Paris' impeccable
reputation, fabled history, and exceptional guest offerings represent deluxe
hospitality at its finest. Virtuoso is honored to help reintroduce this grande
dame and demonstrate why now is the time to visit Paris."
Located on Place Vendôme in the heart of Paris, Ritz Paris
reopens with 142 accommodations, an impressive 71 of which are suites. Fifteen
suites are named in honor of famed hotel guests, including Ernest Hemingway,
the Duke of Windsor, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Coco Chanel, who resided at the
Ritz Paris for 34 years. Accommodations are furnished with museum-quality
antiques that have been expertly restored, and bathrooms offer TVs, heated
floors, plus a separate shower and bath. Two lush gardens span a city block,
providing hotel guests with an oasis in the city's center. A retractable roof
and heated floors enable guests to dine on the terrace year round.
