Ecole Ritz Escoffier

If hanging out at Le Ritz Paris, the last word in luxury, isn't exclusive enough for you, how about this? Thanks to the Travel Onion, we were lucky enough to be treated to a behind the scenes tour of the hotel, having a nose around the Marie Antoinette-inspired bedroom, quaffing champagne in the hotel's most luxurious suite (La Suite Imperiale),  followed by the highlight of the evening: a cooking lesson at the famed Ecole Ritz Escoffier and a dinner of the meal we prepared in the hotel's kitchen, alongside the chef.

    Trop cool! Trop jalouse! I want to stay in the Marie Antoinette suite and drink bubbles and eat pudding! What a dream.

    This is a very special treat just to see all these wonderful symbols of the Ritz! The Marie Antoinette Bedroom is probably overbooked all the time...I cannot imagine how you were able to see it. Or is it for show only and no bookings? I am wondering. Thx for a memorable visit to this wonderful spot!

    We were very lucky to be shown the Marie Antoinette bedroom. It's part of the Imperiale Suite, which is the Ritz's premium suite and it costs a cool €13,000 a night to stay there. So at that price, I'm not sure it is booked all the time!
