Ritz Paris: Perfection in every way

Paris, without question, is one of my most favorite cities in the world. In fact, there are times when I dare to speak the boldest of statements and say that Paris is my MOST favorite place. I can't even begin to count the ways I adore this city; however, one of the things I enjoy the most about Paris is the sensational hotels. The Four Seasons George V is my current favorite Parisian "hideaway" but, after the four year, $440 million dollar renovations of The Ritz Paris, I think the George V may have some serious competition.

Of course, these two legendary hotels are unique. Yet the legacy of Ceasar Ritz and what he brought not only to the Place Vendome but to the business of hotels is without parallel.

Be sure to look for my full review on my blog later this month, as well as my review for Forbes Travel Guide. Also, check out their website for a lovely video made by the hotel: http://www.ritzparis.com/en-GB.
