A symbol of majesty and protection, the lion has been part of the Ritz Paris identity since the very beginning. From the moment you step inside, two marble‑carved lion heads - framing the historic 1898 fireplace and watching over the portrait of Jules Hardouin‑Mansart, the visionary architect of Louis XIV and the creator of Place Vendôme - set the tone of timeless elegance. ✨🦁 #RitzParis #rendezvous15placevendome #hotelsuite
