Recently reopened after a four-year renovation, this patrician Louis XV palace-hotel with a neoclassical façade overlooking the Place de la Concorde is within walking distance of the Champs-Elysées, the Tuileries Garden and the Louvre. The 124 residential-style rooms feature custom art, antiques and spacious marble baths with heated floors, rainfall showers, separate tubs and toiletries by the superchic perfumer Buly 1803. Two grand suites on the fourth floor designed by Karl Lagerfeld can be combined to create a three-bedroom apartment. Sumptuous historic formal salons on the first floor of this iconic property have remained untouched. Gourmet L’Ecrin for gastronomic French cuisine; bar-lounge for live music and excellent Champagne and caviar menus. New wellness pool, gym, hair salon and full-service spa.
Exceptionally comfortable and appealing rooms; attractive indoor pool and spa; overwhelming sense of French history.
The transformation of the once-magnificent Les Ambassadeurs into a bar; extremely poor service in the hotel’s brasserie.
The adjacent Rue Boissy d’Anglas has a heavy security presence guarding the American Embassy; opposite the front entrance, the Tuileries Garden is one of the most beautiful places in the world for a morning run.
Lowest Rate: Deluxe Room, $1,370; Editor’s Choice: Deluxe Suite, $2,280.
