The essential difference between The Ritz Paris and Hôtel de Crillon
These are two different squares.

Who should book which palace
Book The Ritz Paris if the stay is Place Vendôme, the Grand Jardin, and an evening in the 25-seat Bar Hemingway. The official “legendary hotel” page checked 6 September 2026 says the hotel opened in 1898 under César Ritz, in a private mansion on Place Vendôme, and that it was the first hotel in the world with electricity on every floor and rooms with private bathrooms. Book Hôtel de Crillon if the stay is Place de la Concorde, the 36-suite stack, and the ten signature suites. The official accommodation page credits the restored Grands Appartements to Karl Lagerfeld. A traveler who wants river-facing Concorde rooms should not treat The Ritz Paris as a substitute; the published addresses do not overlap. Open the Ritz Paris hotel page or the Hôtel de Crillon hotel page for the rate click once the square is decided.
