The first thing you’ll notice at this eight-story grand dame is the bright cherry rouge facade. It’s decked out with over 3000 geraniums that flicker in the Parisian breeze between the signature awnings of this iconic hotel. Hidden around the corner from the designer shops of the Champs-Élysées and the twinkling lights of the Eiffel Tower, this is the place where the fashion set goes (there are strong links with Dior too) and it makes sense why inside. Glitz, glam, opulence galore – dressed-up French fashionistas sip on cold wine in the alfresco restaurant while staff generously dance across the property, knowing every detail about who is where. This is hospitality at its best, plus the rooms upstairs are super indulgent and have some of the best views of one of the most iconic landmarks in the world.
