Eternally Ritz - Assouline Coffee Table Book

"If ever a place embodied an ideal, it is the legendary Ritz Paris on the Place Vendôme."

Ritz Paris is a refined tribute to one of the world’s most iconic hotels. This luxurious volume from Assouline offers an enchanting glimpse into the world of sophistication, heritage, and timeless elegance that has defined the Ritz Paris since 1898. Behind the grandeur lies the vision of César Ritz – the man who turned hospitality into an art form and redefined modern luxury hotels.

From its founding to its recent and meticulously executed restoration, the Ritz Paris has always been more than a hotel – it is a living monument to luxury, culture, and style. It was here that Hemingway dined, Coco Chanel lived, Chagall painted, and the world’s greats strolled beneath glittering chandeliers.

This stunning edition, curated by Laure Verch with original photography by Robyn Lea, celebrates both the illustrious past and the rebirth of this Parisian jewel. The restoration, led by Thierry W. Despont and Didier Beautemps, brings the Ritz into the present with exquisite attention to detail and deep reverence for its legacy.
