"There are iconic hotels, and then there is the Ritz Paris: established in 1898 on Place Vendôme by César Ritz, its popularity and mythos have never waned—even its 2012–2016 closure was immortalized by a Kate Moss–starring Vogue shoot. History lovers will revel in its presence in Fitzgerald and Hemingway, or in tracing the footsteps of Coco Chanel and Audrey Hepburn, but it still shines today for exquisitely decorated rooms, impeccable service, and high gastronomy across its restaurants—the Ritz remains a Parisian classic for good reason." - Vogue
