The Ritz Teddy Bear: this winter's star
As if straight out of a children’s tale, this most irresistible of teddy bears rekindled childhood dreams and brought a touch of tenderness to winter days.
A CALMING COMPANION TO WARM HOLIDAY HEARTS
As Christmas approaches, the Ritz Paris immerses us in the magic of childhood with a surprise guest: our iconic teddy bear bellboy. A faithful companion to children and a Parisian essential, the hotel's adorable mascot has acquired a host of teddy bear friends for fun-filled, heartwarming celebrations. Behind the facades overlooking Place Vendôme, two events await you: an incredible pop-up where you can savor our gourmet creations, and a temporary boutique featuring a collection of irresistible teddy bears. In the lobby, marvel at the large Christmas tree illuminated for the occasion with no fewer than 400 teddy bears! The magic doesn't stop there... and nor does the suspense. Our star teddy bear also invites you to play a game of hide-and-seek online, with plenty of gifts to be won.
A giant, gourmet pop-up
Why not treat yourself to a delicious snack to enjoy while strolling around Place Vendôme? At the entrance, discover the Ritz Teddy B(e)ar, our enchanting pop-up designed to awaken your taste buds and rekindle your childhood dreams. Standing majestically in the hotel's front colonnade, our teddy bear bellboy, over six feet tall, stretches out his huge paws as if offering a comforting hug. Treats on offer include the Ritz Paris signature hot chocolate, a 70% Venezuelan blend with spicy floral aromas and an incomparable creaminess – and our delicious marshmallow bear, an original creation made with 64% Ecuadorian chocolate, combining light marshmallow and a Madagascar vanilla caramel center. All presented in an elegant box decorated with a drawing of our teddy bear bellboy.
Find the teddy bears - this season's greatest game
Five iconic locations, five teddies to find, five prizes to win. Our teddy bears embody the spirit of the hotel so well that they blend perfectly into the decor... and the most mischievous ones have even snuck behind the furniture. Can you find them?
This year, the Ritz Paris invites you to play hide-and-seek with its mascot in a particularly captivating online game. As you progress through the different scenes, use your powers of observation to find each character's secret hiding place. At the end of the game, you can enter our prize draw for a chance to win one or more gifts. It's all to play for!
An irresistible gift shop
Just a stone's throw from the gourmet pop-up, come and explore our temporary store at 15 Place Vendôme, dedicated to the teddy bear family. Bellboy, chef, valet, maid... as soft toy, keyring, or accessory, the teddy bear adopts a variety of guises to delight children and grown-ups alike. Another exclusive item is the teddy bear brooch, created especially for the holidays. An original piece of jewelry to give as a gift or treat yourself to, it suits both jacket or bag perfectly.
Every day from 12:00pm to 08:00pm until January 4, 2026.
END-OF-YEAR FESTIVITIES AT THE RITZ PARIS
December at 15 place Vendôme promises to be festive, elegant, joyful, and enchanting...
As the year draws to a close, the culinary arts will be celebrated with exceptional dishes and original menus concocted by our chefs. Among the festivities? Christmas tea by the fireside and English-style teatime in the intimacy of our salons. Christmas lunches and dinners under the glass roof of the Bar Vendôme, as well as at the Michelin-starred Espadon restaurant, offer unexpected culinary discoveries. And because Paris is always a celebration, the year will end in style with a grand evening event: New Year's Eve dancing in the magnificent Salon Marie-Louise. Let the festivities begin!
