Neo-Classic opulence
The Hotel de Crillon is set right on the Place de la Concorde, just a stone’s throw from the Champs-Elysees, Madeleine, the Louvre Museum and the fashionable Rue du Faubourg St. Honore with its designer shops. The Jardin de Tuileries is also close by for pleasant walks, as is the River Seine.
This award-winning luxury hotel in Paris’s 8th district is located in a magnificent 18th century Louis XV Palace. It was built in 1758 by the architect, Jacques-Ange Gabriel, along with a matching Palace next door. Together the two buildings total almost 100 metres in length and each Palace is fronted with an impressive colonnade. The building was commissioned for the Duc d’Aumont, who spared no expense in decorating it lavishly. In 1788 it was acquired by the Comte de Crillon, hence the name, and it remained in the Crillon family until 1907. It opened as a luxury hotel in 1909 and has been wowing guests ever since. The hotel is described as a ‘jewel in the heart of Paris’ and is surrounded by equally magnificent buildings, statues and fountains on all sides.
The rooms of the Hotel de Crillon are splendidly decorated, with rich satin fabrics and velvet-covered chairs. The bathrooms are a vision of marble walls and luxurious fixtures. The Presidential and Signature suites are truly fit for royalty, with gold bathroom fitments, beautiful rugs and French antique furniture. In keeping with the standards of the Hotel de Crillon, the Michelin starred restaurant, Les Ambassadeurs, serves exquisite gourmet French cuisine.
Beyond the privacy of your room the excellent facilities include a state-of-the-art fitness centre which is open 24 hours a day. The public reception rooms are a match for any in Versailles, with breathtaking décor and wonderful furniture. For a special occasion which warrants the very best, the luxury Hotel de Crillon offers history, beauty, comfort and exemplary service which cannot be beaten.
