the hotel’s Versailles-inspired opulence is very much intact, and the service remains reassuringly old-world, in the best possible sense.
“Elements inspired by the Palace of Versailles – see the grand chandeliers and Louis XVI-style furniture – are sewn seamlessly into a fabric of the space.”
“In the 118 rooms and 42 suites, designer Charles Jouffre maintained a French classical style, with traditional and antique furnishings, rich fabrics, Garnier Thiebaut linens...”
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set under the Rue de Rivoli arcades, the entrance sits directly across from the Tuileries Garden, between Place de la Concorde and the Louvre.
The rooms
Rooms feature classical French moldings, rich damask silks, and Italian marble bathrooms, with top suites opening onto terraces overlooking the Tuileries Garden.
The spa
Swiss Valmont rituals unfold across four treatment rooms, alongside private hammams and a mosaic-tiled relaxation lounge.
The gym
Technogym cardio machines, free weights, and stretching zones stand beside a decorative glass partition wall.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant le Meurice Alain Ducasse
Two-Michelin-starred dining takes place in an opulent salon of crystal chandeliers and antique mirrors inspired by Versailles.
Acclaimed French designer Philippe Starck kept the classic feel of the hotel, but modernized and accentuated it with whimsical yet subtle touches.
Restaurant Le Dalí
A monumental painted ceiling canopy by Ara Starck sets the stage for seasonal dining and Cédric Grolet pastries.
At the table
Deep leather armchairs and restored Lavalley murals line the lounge, which pours classic cocktails and rare single malts.
How it began
Established in 1835 on Rue de Rivoli, the former coaching inn evolved into a royal haven where Salvador Dalí resided for months.
“The goal of the reunion was a gentle spruce up of the hotel’s public areas.”
