Forbes Travel Guide Five-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.
- 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.
- 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.
