We Paid /night

Including room rate, taxes and mandatory resort fees

What does ""We Paid"" mean?

Forbes Travel Guide performs independent, incognito inspections of all hotels we rate. This is what we paid when we stayed at this hotel.

Rates can vary widely by room type and season. "We Paid" is intended to give a general sense of price, but you might find considerably different rates for your trip.

When we book, we aim for the optimum season for the destination, but we avoid holidays and major public events, when prices are highest. We generally book a room at one category up from the most basic.

We take advantage of promotional rates, when possible. That means the rate you see above might have included other benefits, such as spa or meal credits.

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

We are the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and ocean cruise ships.

Here are five things to know about us:

1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.

2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.

3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.

4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.

5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Located just steps away from Champs-Élysées on the right bank of the River Seine, the luxurious Hotel Lancaster is known for serving the glamorous elite. Built as a townhouse in 1889, the luxe property was later converted into the elegant hotel that stands before us today. Its private home origin can be seen from the grand galley, wide enough to allow a horse and carriage to enter the home and into the courtyard for parking. Now, this passage is where a spacious bar and restaurant reside, the latter a celebrated spot for French gastronomical dishes.

Markedly Parisian through and through, hundreds of antiques, paintings, gleaming parquet floors and Baccarat crystal chandeliers solidify the traditional French style. The updated art-deco-clad rooms have modern comforts and surround a gorgeous courtyard where you can grab a drink, dinner or some tea in the afternoon. It’s all very posh and polished, but never flashy.

Our Inspector's Highlights

The Paris hotel’s discreet setting is a peaceful respite from the busy city streets.
While the classic hotel is committed to honoring French design, the unique décor outfitting each room gives each space its own sense of character.
The spacious closets, which also feature a spectacular armoire with a hand-painted floral design, have more than enough room for plenty of shopping sprees in Paris.
German-American actress Marlene Dietrich once called Hotel Lancaster home, and some of her personal items remain in her namesake suite. An award she won, a pair of gloves, her portrait, a feather hat and a silver hand mirror are displayed within a glass coffee table.
Get an intense workout, as well as a breathtaking view of the city, through the gym’s ceiling of skylights with a vista of Montmartre and the hilltop where Sacré-Coeur is perched.

Things to Know

Several cafés, restaurants and luxury shops are within walking distance of this accommodating hotel.
Adult guests can enjoy a romantic tour in the City of Love, while the family-friendly hotel schedules babysitting services.
The hotel’s Monsieur Restaurant is closed on Saturday and Sunday, but lunch and dinner are served Monday through Friday. If you want a chance to dine at this popular eatery, we recommend making reservations at least two weeks in advance.

The Rooms

Rooms in this former townhome appropriately feel more like guest quarters in a private home than in a posh hotel in the Eighth Arrondissement.
Contemporary amenities include marble bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, iPhone docking stations and Clarins bath products.
Suites up the glamour factor with Louis XVI-style accents throughout the space and grand views of the courtyard or the roofs of Paris.
The largest suite is named after Dietrich, who lived in the extravagant space for three years. Her love of music and the color purple is paramount here — a chaise lounge in lavender velvet is located next to the fireplace and a grand piano that takes center stage in the living room.

The Restaurants

Monsieur Restaurant brings you on a tasting tour through France. Every month, a different region's cuisine is featured on the menu.
Le Marlène Bar serves a lighter lunch and dinner menu as well as bespoke cocktails.
Both Monsieur Restaurant and Le Marlène open to a tranquil secret garden in the heart of Paris.
