This is the Most Expensive Hotel in all of Paris

If you are looking to stay in a luxury hotel that is the crème de la crème of Paris hotels, you will want to book a reservation for The Ritz Paris. Not only is it luxurious, it is the priciest hotel that can be found in the city. The latest upgrade took 4 years and was reopened on June 6, 2016. With a low budget starter price tag of $1100 per night with the option of moving up to more than $25,000 per night, the owners have sought to provide the best of French design suitable for the very wealthy and noteworthy.

The Ritz comes with a lot of history within its walls, including more recent history. Its 159 rooms and renovated interior have earned it the French Ministry of Economy, Industry, and Employment designation of “Palace” – a distinction given to only the most elite class of hotels. This palace had been occupied by German forces during World War II, serving as the headquarters of the Nazi Luftwaffe. Of more recent vintage, the hotel was the last place Lady Diana, Princess of Wales, dined before she was tragically killed in the infamous car crash. Both Coco Chanel and F. Scott Fitzgerald called the Ritz Paris their “second home.”

The hotel’s website calls the individual rooms “apartments” which is very appropriate when you have a look at what you are getting for your $1100 (+ or – $24,000) a night, which comes out to be $4,200 a month excluding taxes and foreign exchange fees. Every room is accented with pastels, so if you are looking for a brighter looking room you will have to change your perspective. Each room has within it select pieces of antique art and sculpture strategically placed around the area.

You can choose the size room you want, starting at a scant 375 square feet to the huge 2,350 square foot area of its finest Suite. The hotel carefully distinguishes between its “apartments” and suites, with the largest suite group belonging to the “Prestige Series. At more than 2,000 square feet, this group of rooms is indeed the definition of a typical apartment, but at a very untypical price.

Pictures are usually worth more than 1,000 words, and for what you can expect to pay for these Prestige Suites you will be paying many dollars per word. https://www.ritzparis.com/en-GB/luxury-hotel-paris.
