Hôtel Ritz Paris


 

The Hôtel Ritz at 15 Place Vendôme in Paris, France. Located in the heart of the city, it was constructed in the early part of the 18th century as a private dwelling. The façade was designed by Jules Hardouin Mansart, the creator of the "mansard" roof. Converted to a luxury hotel by César Ritz, it opened on June 1, 1898. Together with the culinary talents of minority partner Auguste Escoffier, César Ritz made the hotel synonymous with opulence, service, and fine dining.
