Suite Impériale

Listed as a historical monument, the reception room is a magnificent tribute to Napoleon, whose bust sits proudly here. With its six-meter high ceilings, this ceremonial setting celebrates France’s First Empire. Admire the richness of the furniture and the regal purple of the silken velvet, the bronzes and objets d'art, and the rare sophistication of the Pompeian-inspired ornaments. From the windows, you can contemplate the majesty of Place Vendôme, whose famous column pays tribute to the grandeur of the emperor.

Wake up to the chief splendor of the 18th century... life in a château! In these two superb rooms, bathed in light, opulence meets delicacy. Everything is enchanting: the carved woodwork and fine craftsmanship, the gold leaf work, the silk-draped bedspreads, the antique-style balusters and columns, the interlacing of flowers and trimmings. Amid this abundance of detail, refinement rules. It’s all rather impressive.

A bathroom with actual oak-panelled walls: could you imagine a more welcoming setting for lounging? This listed wood panelling is what makes this room so original, and so beautiful. In this intimate atmosphere, the decor is of the utmost refinement. A luxurious red marble bath set off by gold-plated swan faucets; an ivory dressing table, the mirror adorned with an enchanting ribbon. Beside the bathroom, your dream dressing room awaits.

In matters of taste, César Ritz was king. The vision for his hotel was to offer guests the ultimate in luxury and refinement, in a setting conceived as a private residence. The renowned hotelier had a keen eye for what would make this remarkable address both authentic and elegant. With his wife, he visited a number of sites, including the great châteaux of Versailles and Fontainebleau. This provided invaluable inspiration for the creation of his own style: a decor at once eclectic and harmonious, blending the finest classical styles from the 17th century to the Empire.
