The Relais Monceau is conveniently situated close to the Park Monceau and the Champs-Elysées. It is within easy walking distance of Montmartre, l’Opera and the Arc de Triomphe.
Tucked away from the bustle of the city, this charming boutique Paris hotel offers an oasis of calm in this 19th century residence. Individuality reigns throughout the hotel, in the friendly welcoming lounges, the library and the delightful small gardens. The 24-hour reception area is a showcase of unusual antiques and artifacts from flower vases to a collection of teapots. The Zuber lounge is named after its decorative woodblock printed wallpaper created by the historic Zuber factory, making this a far cry from the many stereotyped hotels in Paris.
Mixing the past with the future, the original 1930s wooden bar serves an array of drinks whilst customers relax on Philippe Starck designed chairs, enjoying the background music of soft jazz. The breakfast room is similarly individual in style, with a colourful mosaic tile floor and wooden baker’s racks displaying the delicious spread of hot and cold French breakfast delights.
Each of the 51 individual rooms in this boutique Paris hotel has crafted wooden doors and interior shutters which are a throwback to times past. Teak floors add warmth to the rich colours, and individual antiques are carefully chosen for each room. Amidst all this history, the Relais Monceau does not forgot modern day necessities such as a hairdryer, satellite TV and WiFi access. The bathrooms are individually decorated and feature free-standing basins and heated towel rails. Well located and comfortably appointed, Le Relais Monceau represents excellent value for money for such a centrally located boutique hotel in Paris.
