The Bar Hemingway at the Ritz Hotel Paris, France Ernest Hemingway, a Ritz regular Bar Hemingway feels as intimate as the bond that tied the writer to our hotel. He wrote that Paris was the Ritz; a permanent party, a place full of promise. From the 1920s onwards he made the bar his headquarters, spending time with his friends Francis Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald over a cognac or Dry Martini. Over the years, he forged a friendship with bartenders Georges and Bertin. As an aside, the current location of Bar Hemingway was once that of Le Petit Bar, the first upscale bar in the capital open to women, who could turn up unaccompanied - a breath of freedom, years ahead of its time!
