To mark the centenary of F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby," the Ritz Paris has masterfully recreated the intoxicating spirit of the era it so perfectly captured. The Gatsby Soirées are not just dinners; they are immersive theatrical productions that transport you directly into the heart of the Roaring Twenties, celebrating the legacy of the literary dandy who was a frequent and fond guest of the hotel.
An Exceptional Dinner and Show
Held on select dates in the magnificent Salon Vendôme, these evenings are a feast for all the senses. Guests are welcomed with a glass of champagne before being seated for an exclusive dinner. The menu, created especially for the occasion by Executive Chef Jérôme Legras, revisits the great feasts of the 1920s with a modern, inimitable twist. Throughout the evening, a live jazz band, singer, and period dancers ensure the party swings, inviting you to dance the Charleston and Foxtrot until 11:00 PM. Elegant attire is not just recommended; it is compulsory, adding to the authenticity and glamour of the night.
Glamour and Glitz in the Salon Vendôme
The setting is pure theatre. A magnificent marble staircase leads you to the Salon Vendôme, a grand ballroom with a unique décor and subtle lighting. Once the rendezvous for the famous Ritz Club nightspot, the space perfectly recreates the atmosphere of the hotel's legendary dinner dances. The Ritz Paris teams bring back the flamboyant aesthetic of the era with ostrich feathers, sequins, and gold foliage, making the salon the ideal stage for a night worthy of Jay Gatsby himself.
The Eternally Festive Spirit of the Ritz
The Gatsby Soirées are a tribute to the daring and perpetually fresh spirit that has always defined the Ritz Paris. By constantly reinventing itself, the hotel has remained at the forefront of fashion and celebration for over a century. These evenings honor that uniquely "ritzy" sense of festivity, marked equally by historical elegance and a vibrant, modern energy.
Events are scheduled for specific Wednesdays in 2025. The price is €315 per person, including a welcome glass of champagne and the multi-course dinner with live entertainment. Reservations are essential and subject to the event's specific cancellation policy.
