Fire damages Ritz Paris

A fire damaged the Ritz Paris this morning (19 January), but is now under control. No injuries were reported at the hotel, which is closed for renovations and was due to reopen in March, along with the first-ever Chanel-branded spa.

A spokesperson for the Ritz Paris said it was too soon to tell if the fire would affect the reopening date.

The BBC is reporting that the damage started on the seventh floor and spread to the attic and roof, and that around 60 firefighters were dispatched to the scene.

The Ritz Paris, open since 1898, closed its doors in 2012 for extensive renovations and historic renovations. The project is being led by architect and designer Thierry W. Despont, who the company said is “dedicated to conserving the magic of the Ritz Paris whilst adding to the very latest technologies.”

Details of the Chanel au Ritz Paris spa have been kept under wraps, but a press release from the Ritz Paris said the spa will be “a new beauty concept dedicated to Chanel’s skincare” and will “provide guests with a unique sensorial and customised experience inspired by Chanel’s art of skincare.”

The Ritz Paris is a natural place for Chanel to make its spa debut – Coco Chanel famously lived in the hotel for 34 years, bringing her furniture with her, and the hotel has always featured a Coco Chanel suite.
