Coco Chanel's Paris Ritz Suite - Part I

Coco Chanel is one of the most interesting

designers in the last century. She bucked

social norm and designed "man-nish or

boyish" clothing that women could wear

comfortably and stylishly. Many of her

classic designs from the beginning never

really changed year to year. Even today,

her designs are worn. I don't think

anyone disputes the fact that Coco Chanel

had huge influence in style and fashion.

One of her classic suits. No more

corsets - rather style with comfort.

It's no secret that Coco Chanel resided in a suite

at the Hotel Ritz Paris for over 30 years. Today,

they have tried to replicate some of the rooms

in the suite and it is one of the most expensive

suites to rent on the market today in any hotel.

It costs between $4,000 and $5,000 USD to

spend one night in the suite that Coco Chanel

resided in.

These 3 very striking photos with mirrors and

dark walls I actually found as a project on

Jean-Louis Deniot's website. Yes...one of the

latest designers I've been stalking. What

confuses me is that these photos look completely

different from the few photos offered on the

Hotel Ritz Paris website of the Coco Chanel Suite.

It didn't stop me from admiring the rooms as

they are so very dramatic and striking.

This photo straight above and the ones below

come straight from the Hotel Ritz Paris website

and a couple of other travel sites. The suite

is said to have 3 rooms.

The very luxurious bathroom.



The very spacious and elegant bedroom.

Isn't it odd how different the rooms look from the

Hotel's website versus the photos on Jean-Louis' website?

I had to do more digging to satisfy my curiosity. Are

these rooms really from the same suite or was it a

mistake? What do you think?

Stay tuned for tomorrow's post which is

the second part to this 2 part post.
