\n\tAward: Most legendary\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen C\u00e9sar Ritz, alongside culinary legend Auguste Escoffier, opened his hotel <\/a>on the Place Vend\u00f4me in 1898, he set out to create the finest hotel in the world. Not only did he succeed in redefining what a hotel could be, complete with the radically novel features for the era\u2014electricity on every floor! private bathrooms!\u2014but it also holds true more than a century later. The now-mythical cast of characters includes Proust, Coco Chanel, who made the hotel her primary home for 30 years and has a suite named in her honor, and Ernest Hemingway, who inspired not only one of the world\u2019s most recognizable cocktail bars but a commemorative suite, too. Today, it\u2019s Hollywood and small-screen A-listers who pass through the Ritz\u2019s revolving front door year-round and into one of 142 rooms and suites dressed up in creams, blush pinks, and soft blues, with Louis XV furnishings, brocade textiles, pastoral paintings, and golden swan-shaped faucets and bathtub taps. Guests have ample choice for drinking and dining, from the one-Michelin-starred contemporary restaurant Espadon run by Eug\u00e9nie B\u00e9ziat, the Bar Vend\u00f4me (which never has a quiet night, especially with live thematic music dinners on Wednesdays), the Salon Proust for tea time, and the Ritz Bar\u2014helpful when the Hemingway is, invariably, packed to the gills.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tBest amenity: The Ritz Club and Spa, a private member\u2019s fitness and wellness club also open to hotel guests, including a 52-foot pool (beneath a painted sky), a David Mallett hair salon, and a new partnership with La Prairie, which adds seven facial treatments, including two for men, a signature treatment, and an exfoliating treatment, to the pampering options.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tCan\u2019t-miss experience: Guests can arrange a day with the head chef of the \u00c9cole Ritz Escoffier<\/a>, the hotel\u2019s prestigious, on-site cooking school, beginning with a market tour before returning to the property for a hands-on cooking class.<\/p>\n
