We Paid /night

Including room rate, taxes and mandatory resort fees

What does ""We Paid"" mean?

Forbes Travel Guide performs independent, incognito inspections of all hotels we rate. This is what we paid when we stayed at this hotel.

Rates can vary widely by room type and season. "We Paid" is intended to give a general sense of price, but you might find considerably different rates for your trip.

When we book, we aim for the optimum season for the destination, but we avoid holidays and major public events, when prices are highest. We generally book a room at one category up from the most basic.

We take advantage of promotional rates, when possible. That means the rate you see above might have included other benefits, such as spa or meal credits.

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

We are the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and ocean cruise ships.

Here are five things to know about us:

1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.

2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.

3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.

4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.

5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star Ritz Paris is the original home of Parisian decadence. Since 1898, this luxury hotel has occupied its spot on the Place Vendôme — arguably one of the most chic addresses in the City of Light — and maintained a reputation as one of the finest hotels in the world.

Ritz Paris debuted a new look for its Ritz Club & Spa in 2022, drawing inspiration from flowers and femininity. From the moment you step through the entrance, you will see the floral influence with a ball-shaped lighting fixture covered with white porcelain blossoms until you sprawl out on a table for a massage with French-made flower oils.

The exclusive spa also offers Biologique Recherche treatments, manicures and pedicures with French brand Manucurist's natural and vegan polishes, and a stunning pool that sits under a nearly 2,000-square-foot trompe l’oeil sky complete with its own bar serving healthy drinks and food.

Our Inspector's Highlights

No visit to Ritz Paris would be complete without a dip in the spa’s fabled swimming pool — an oasis of calm inspired by the baths of ancient Greece and Rome. Made of 600,000 mosaic tiles, the pool streams music from underwater speakers.
The emphasis here is on facials and skincare. Beloved French brand Biologique Recherche dominates the menu with personalized, effective treatments. Biologique's Skin Instant Lab will analyze your skin in 20 minutes and map out a customized routine.
Each beautiful treatment room is named after a favorite flower of a woman who played a role in the Ritz Paris' history. Take the Orchid room, which was the bloom of choice for frequent guest Zelda Fitzgerald (a writer and spouse to F. Scott Fitzgerald). A large hand-painted orchid also covers a wall, and live orchids decorate the space.
Ritz Club & Spa features a hair salon helmed by David Mallett, whose clientele includes Natalie Portman, Kate Winslet and Vogue Paris’ former editor-in-chief Emmanuelle Alt.
The Paris spa recently opened the Floral Bar, a poolside spot that specializes in good-for-you food and drinks inspired by plants and flowers.

Things to Know

The spa is often booked solid, especially around Paris fashion weeks, when it’s common for the industry’s royalty to stay upstairs at the storied hotel.
Booking a treatment does not guarantee access to the spa's gym, sauna, hammam and pool.
