Paris buildings: Ritz Hotel changes look

Among the most famous  buildings of Paris is without a doubt the Ritz Hotel. It's not a monumentof Paris nor a historic building but in its own way it is an institution for locals and tourists alike. How many people have passed in front of the entrance to the Ritz Paris and posed for a photo maybe even pretending to be clients of hotel. Instead perhaps the real accommodation is a simple and economic b&b in Paris, that is clean, very practical without all the luxury of the Ritz and that can be reserved at the lastminute by taking advantage of the lastminute Paris offers that are always interesting and easy to find.

The news these days is that this sumptuous hotel will be temporarily closed as it undergoes a restoration that will last at least 27 months. The plan is to close this summer and reopen for Christmas 2014 in time for a Christmas vacation in Paris but above all for the January 2015 winter fashion shows when stars from around the world arrive looking for a room in Paris unlike all the others which means the Ritz.

The owner Mohammed e Ali al-Fayed decided the powerful building situated in the elegant Place Vendôme needs a restyling. It's not just a question of beauty but also of improving services for guests who want to have the utmost privacy: One of the elements of the reconstruction is a underpass to the garage so that guests can reach the Ritz without anyone knowing.

We recommend you include a walk to the Ritz on your tour of Paris, in order to be able to look at the current state of the building and perhaps revisit in a couple of years when the work is complete. It's true none of us can afford to stay in this splendid hotel but no one can stop us from dreaming and considering how affordable dreams can be take advantage of the lastminute Paris offers and fly...to the city of marvels!
