Both timeless and of its time, surprisingly vibrant yet deliciously soothing, genuinely Parisian and truly cosmopolitan, Le Royal Monceau, Raffles Paris represents the next generation of Palace hotels.
Within walking distance of the Arc de Triomphe, Champs Elysées and beautiful Parc Monceau, it is now, as it has always been, one of the essential spots in which to experience the style and social buzz of this extraordinary city.
At Le Royal Monceau, art is omnipresent, with an exclusive service of Art Concierge, an Art Bookstore, a private Art Gallery, a 99-seat cinema theatre and an impressive private art collection. Meanwhile the stunning aesthetic, unmatched location and remarkable facilities make this hotel one of the finest luxury establishments in the world, loved by those with an adventurous bold spirit and a taste for the very best.
The 149 rooms and suites exude a spirit of exclusive Parisian chic, with a generous dose of polished contemporary styling. The exacting elegance of the Forties and Fifties with its controlled curves, fine materials, and warm colours is brought alive through little poetic details: books stacked in random places on the shelves, a scrawled message on a lampshade, an acoustic guitar.
Food and drink are an art form at Le Royal Monceau – from the buzz of the Long Bar on the ground floor, to the two restaurants, "Matsuhisa Paris" for a Japanese cuisine and "Il Carpaccio" Michelin-starred Italian restaurant. Not to be missed are the delicious pastries, macarons and chocolates by Pierre Hermé, considered by Vogue magazine as the "Picasso of pastry".
The Spa My Blend by Clarins is an ethereal white temple of sensory pleasures designed by Philippe Starck for total wellbeing and relaxation. The pure simplicity of this 1,500m2 sanctuary imbues it with timeless elegance.
