Ritz

LDPR has picked up the Ritz Paris, home to the Salon Proust and Bar Hemingway, as France prepares to reopen to US travelers.

Laura Davidson's shop will manage media relations and press engagements for the hotel, with a focus on travel, trade, culinary and lifestyle.

The recently restored hotel, founded in 1898, has 71 rooms and 71 suites and includes its own art gallery and cooking school.

Its guest list has included F. Scott Fitzgerald and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.

French president Emmanuel Macron has said that starting June 9, visitors from outside Europe will once again be allowed entry into France, provided that they carry a health pass and that the public health situation in their country of origin meets certain standards.

LDPR is also taking on media relations duties for Querido, a collection of family-owned international hotels throughout Europe.

Launched in 2012 by Carlos Quereda, the chain includes 18 hotels and two yachts from five European countries and has offices in New York City, Los Angeles and Vancouver.
