PARIS RITZ
When I found out we were being put up at the Ritz, I screamed in excitement. Who wouldn't? How lucky am I to stay in one of the world's nicest hotels? The Paris Ritz, located in the Place Vend�me, has 162 luxurious rooms, and in the movie is the hotel in which Robert Langdon is awakened by the telephone. I didn't stay in room number 512 -- used in the opening scene of the book -- but we filmed in it. My room, 416, was actually nicer than 512. As Dan Brown described in the book, the rooms are decorated with Louis XVI furniture, hand-frescoed walls and mahogany four-poster beds. Service was even more exquisite than I expected. The staff could not have been any nicer, and a couple of them even agreed to play roles in our show. Interesting note: Ron Howard did not actually film inside the Ritz. Instead he took all the furniture (including the golden swan-shaped faucet taps) from room 512, and put it in a studio for Tom Hanks' room scene. They did film the entrance of the hotel. Surprisingly, the Ritz had to block off that area for only 10 minutes.

RITZ'S DA VINCI CODE PACKAGE DEAL
Now you can pretend you are Robert Langdon for 670� ($800) a night. The Ritz has its very own Da Vinci Code package deal. Guests spend the night in room 512, enjoy an American breakfast, and take home an illustrated luxury version of the Da Vinci Code book (in English), a Ritz diary and a heavy Ritz-embroidered bathrobe. H�tel Ritz, 15 Place Vend�me, 75001 Paris; tel.: 33-1-43-16-30-30.

HEMINGWAY BAR
If room prices are too steep (or the package deal is sold out), go to the Hemingway bar and have Colin Field make you an "Opus Dei" (champagne, a drop of vodka, grapefruit juice and sugar) for 25� ($31). Forbes magazine called Colin one of the most famous bartenders in the world, and he is a real character. An English native who has been in Paris for 17 years, he takes his drink-making seriously. He looks like a mad scientist when he creates them. You should let him decide what he thinks you're in the mood for � don't worry, he'll put together something delicious. He also makes incredible non-alcoholic drinks. Hemingway Bar, Hotel Ritz, 15 Place Vend�me, Paris; tel.: 33-1-43-16-30-30. Hours: Tuesday to Saturday, 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. (or later, if Colin likes you).
