Ritz Paris

barry wall and frank of the ritz

At the Ritz Bar: E. Berry Wall, best-dressed American in Europe and Ritz’ legendary barkeeper Frank Meier (Frank of the Ritz).


When I dream of afterlife in heaven, the action always takes place at the Ritz Paris” (Ernest Hemingway)


César Ritz has left us more than one hotel in the world, but this is maybe his greatest statement. However, Ritz died almost 100 years ago and therefore most credit must go to the people who currently run the hotel, or at least to those who have run it for the past century.

One of them was Frank Meyer, a legendary bartender of the 1920s, whose barkeeping book The Artistry of Mixing Drinks has become one of the bibles of the trade. You can download the pdf of the complete book here (courtesy Exposition Universelle des Vins & Spiritueux).
