The Ritz suits couples who want afternoons at Salon Proust and time in the spa, with the lowest seller on Google showing single nights for 2 from €2,205. For a trip spent out exploring until bedtime, I would choose a hotel where less of the pleasure lies indoors.

Our verdict

The reception interiors at Ritz Paris

The official FAQ dates the hotel’s foundation to 1 June 1898 and counts 142 rooms and suites, including 16 Prestige Suites. The catalogue runs from the 35 m² Superior to the 218 m² Imperial Suite. Square, garden and rooftop outlooks make the room choice matter.

Bar Hemingway seats just 25 and opens daily 5pm–midnight without reservations. Photographs, books and letters fill the small room. Salon Proust gives tea its own afternoon, 1–7pm; the booking selector read on 1 October 2026 quotes €125 per person.

Residents have access to Ritz Club & Spa’s 16 × 9 m pool, heated to 30°C; treatments cost extra. Children aged 5 and over can use the pool only for private lessons by appointment, according to the pool page, read on 15 October 2026.

For one night and 2 adults, Google Hotels showed €3,194 on 8 October 2026, €2,223 on 16 November and €2,523 on 15 December when read on 1 October. The calendar leaves room, meals and taxes unspecified. Observed monthly minima reach €2,183 in November and €3,223 in June 2027; August and September 2027 return no numeric rate.

What makes it rare

A badge is an experience travellers look for, that is really here and that few hotels in the guide have.

What the badges are

The 5 things that matter, as guests tell them

What do Ritz Paris’s guests say? They write it in their reviews, even those who only came for a drink or dinner: we read every one and tell the 5 things that matter, from the location to the bill.

  1. Location

    9 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Place Vendôme and walks between the boutiques and the Louvre give guests reasons to return.

  2. Room

    9 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Guests describe rooms and suites in the classic French style, gilded, bright and spotless; several of the suites look over Place Vendôme.

  3. Staff and service

    7 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Guests remember staff who greet them by name and anticipate requests, from the doormen to the concierge, and the service at tea in Salon Proust and at brunch.

  4. Breakfast

    8 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Guests write about the room and the choice; breakfast is in Salon Marie-Louise from 7 to 8.45am and at Bar Vendôme from 9 to 11am.

The scores come from 500 Google reviews with text, left from 14 March 2025 to 30 September 2026. The listing includes restaurant, bar and spa visits as well as overnight stays. The other hotels are the ones weighed for a stay in Paris: for each we read its latest 500 Google reviews with text, or all of them where there are fewer, as of 1 October 2026. The score is the average of what they say, from 0 if they speak of it very badly to 10 if they speak of it very well. Where only a few mention something, the score stays close to the guide’s average: a handful of voices does not make a reputation.

The hotels we weigh it against in Paris:

  • The Peninsula Paris
  • Four Seasons Hotel George V Paris
  • Hôtel de Crillon
  • Le Bristol Paris

Price: for two on the night of 16 November 2026, from €2,205 (seen on Google Hotels on 13 October 2026).

What a night costs, season by season

The calendar read on 13 October 2026 showed each single night from 1 to 4 February 2027 at €2,223, compared with €3,223 from 26 June to 2 July. I would look among February’s lower-priced runs before choosing dates for a longer stay.

PeriodEuros a night
14 October to 25 October 20263,223–3,423
26 Oct 2026–20 May 20272,126–3,523
23 May to 17 July 20272,940–3,223
18 July to 4 September 20272,168–2,723

Lowest seller prices on Google for single nights searched separately for 2 adults, read 13 October 2026; room category, meals and tax inclusion are unspecified. The €2,126 low is the lone night of 11 April 2027; dates without a price are omitted, and the calendar stops on 4 September 2027. Booked as 7 nights from 16 November 2026, the lowest seller Google listed that day asked €2,264 a night; the hotel’s own listing, €2,966.

The Ritz, Cheval Blanc or George V

I would choose Cheval Blanc for a stay based on quai du Louvre. At George V, I would consider a Signature Suite if return limousine transfers are part of the plan.
