 The shoot took place ahead of what is to be the hotel's most extensive renovation since its foundation in the late 1800s.
The supermodel told Vogue she is a fan of the Ritz Paris herself. The restaurant, L’Espadon, is a particularly treasured spot; she employed the head bartender to mix cocktails at her wedding to musician Jamie Hince last year.

She added that she would also visit the hotel with ex-boyfriend, Johnny Depp.
'He always stayed there,' she said. 'I had an apartment in Paris at the time, but he said, "No, we’re staying at the Ritz," so he came by and swept me up to the Ritz — he didn’t want to slum it in my apartment.'

The Vogue shoot also shows a calmer scene at the Ritz Paris than seen earlier this month.
The hotel made headlines when a large fire broke out in the underground car park. More than 15 luxury cars had been destroyed while dozens of people were evacuated.
