The Ritz Paris, a renowned hotel in the French capital, is well-known for hosting high-profile guests during events such as Paris Fashion Week. Notable figures like Princess Diana and Madonna have stayed at this iconic establishment, which features the Suite Imperiale—a national monument listed by the French government. The suite can be booked for a night starting at 40,000 euros or $41,227.
Since its opening in 1898 at 15 Place Vendome, the Ritz Paris has attracted legendary personalities such as Coco Chanel and Ernest Hemingway. However, with new luxury hotels emerging in Paris, maintaining its status requires effort. The hotel's strategy includes offering anticipatory service to meet guests' needs efficiently.
Laurent Herschbach, general manager of the Ritz Paris, emphasized this approach during an interview at the International Luxury Travel Market conference in Cannes. He stated: "When you're sitting at the Ritz, what other door can we open for you... because they don't want to wait anymore."
