Princess Diana and the Ritz Hotel, Paris

It was to be the final evening for Princess Diana and boyfriend Dodi Al Fayed. They dined in style at the majestic 5 Star Ritz Hotel in Paris, France just hours before a tragic car accident claimed their lives. Even now, almost 11 years later, the world still mourns for 'our Diana'.

The Ritz, Paris truly is fit for a Princess.

It is owned by billionaire Mohamed Al Fayed, Dodi's Father, who lovingly restored the 110 year old building twenty years ago. Mr. Al Fayed also owns the world renowned Harrod's department Store in London and was a friend of Princess Diana's late Father, Earl Spencer.

The History of The Ritz, Paris:

In 1898 Cesar Ritz was inspired by the location where the opulent Ritz Hotel now stands. He built this structure of architectural magnificence, which is comprised of three main buildings. It sits proudly at 15 Place Vendome in Paris, France and shares it's prestige location with high end stores such as Armani. There is an eye catching view of the statue of Napoleon, and it's a mere five minute stroll from the world famous Louvre.
