The
world's most famous hotel has entered the 21st century
with highest-tech facilities, but without having
betrayed the character that won the Ritz its reputation.
Even if nowadays you can change the video program
or make a phone call without leaving your bed or
marble bath (Charles Ritz was the first to provide
private bathrooms for his clients), nothing has
altered the pleasure of stretching out on a wide
brass bed surrounded by fine antiques. Add to that
an atmosphere of luxury so enveloping that a new
word, "ritzy," had to be coined for it.
Impeccable staff. The health spa was modeled on
a thermal spa of antiquity, and the restaurant,
L'Espadon, has its own garden.
