The Ritz Hotel

What The Ritz Hotel does

The Ritz Hotel, Limited is a private limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales that operates the Ritz Paris, a 5-star luxury hotel at 15 Place Vendôme, Paris, established in 1898 and controlled by Luxembourg-based holding company RH Paris 1 S.à.r.l. The property offers 142 room keys spanning Superior Rooms (from €2,200/night) through Prestige Suites named after historic guests, up to the Suite Impériale at €40,000/night, with two suites carrying French historic monument listing. Revenue is generated across eight streams: accommodation; multiple F&B venues including Michelin-starred Espadon, Bar Vendôme brasserie, Salon Proust tearoom, Ritz Bar, Le Grand Brunch, Gatsby Soirées, and a new Tea Time à la française launching September 2026; the Ritz Club & Spa offering La Prairie and Kure Bazaar treatments; the École Ritz Escoffier cooking school; a Galerie of in-hotel boutiques (Dolce&Gabbana, Tasaki, TWG Tea, Bacha Coffee, Graff); an E-Boutique operated by Ritz Enterprise S.A. covering collaborations such as FRAME x Ritz Paris; private event and reception rooms; and gift cards.

The Ritz Paris distributes almost entirely through direct-to-consumer channels — its website booking system, phone reservations, walk-ins, and the E-Boutique — supplemented by on-property retail partners. Marketing spans Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn, YouTube, and an email newsletter. The customer base is diversified across affluent individual travelers, corporate event clients, families, and celebration-event buyers, with no named enterprise customers and a B2C model that limits concentration risk. Brand IP (RITZ, RITZ PARIS, RITZ BAR, RITZ ESCOFFIER trademarks) is held by Swiss entity Ritz Enterprise S.A. and licensed to the operating company, with related entities Ritz Brand Services, Ritz Group Services, and Ritz Paris Le Comptoir sitting within the group structure. The operation has 501-1,000 employees, achieved GSTC certification in December 2022, and holds GDPR and PCI DSS compliance.
