Our Inspector's Highlights
- Striking 1930s black-and-white Vogue photographs (more than 500 images) are hung on the walls of the corridors — they set a consistent art deco tone.
- Adding to the retro vibe are the black marble floors, rich fabrics, deep ebony furnishings with pops of color and flash, as well as a magnificent painting from Tamara de Lempicka, a famous art deco artist.
- Steps up from the fitness center entrance (complimentary for hotel guests) and past a few decorative statues is the private spa, dubbed the Wellness Suite, featuring a beautiful mosaic-tiled steam bath.
- Explore the City of Lights in style with one of the exceptional experiences put together by the Paris hotel’s Les Clefs d’Or concierge team.
Things to Know
- A 24-hour designer fitness center is available for those looking to grab a workout. A personal trainer is also available for 60-minute sessions upon request.
- Opt for the gourmet breakfast at Bar Les Heures. Enjoy eggs cooked to perfection by the chef in the open kitchen along with hand-made French pastries, potatoes and candied tomatoes.

The Rooms
- All 115 rooms and 44 suites boast bold art deco style. Think geometric patterns, mirrored headboards and artistic black-and-white photos lining the walls.
- The Mosaic suites are so named because of the bathroom’s intricate designs of mosaic ceramic tiles sourced from the South of France.
- Some suites also have a lovely terrace overlooking Avenue George V. Larger suites come with sofa beds, leather chairs and faux fireplaces.
- All rooms are equipped with Nespresso coffee machines, flat-screen TVs and Lalique bath amenities.
- In honor of the Paris property's 90th anniversary in 2019, it unveiled a brand-new art deco-inspired accommodation dubbed "Lalique Suite," so named for the storied French crystal maker. Envisioned by renowned designer Patrick Hellmann, the two-story suite boasts crystal artworks, an enchanting marble bathroom with views of the Eiffel Tower and an expansive terrace that's perfect for sipping sundowners.
The Restaurants
- Spend your afternoon lingering in the opulent surroundings of Bar Les Heures. Savor a classic tea service (complete with French pastries, of course) or indulge in a light bento-style bistro lunch, artfully presented on a three-tiered porcelain tray.
- After nightfall, the bar converts into a lounge area where you can sip on meticulously made cocktails beneath a gorgeous crystal chandelier and colorful frescoes.
- Le Patio’s garden area gives you a chance to dine alfresco without being next to a busy street — the space is tucked away and made gorgeous by lush greenery and colorful mosaics.
