Located in the lovely heart of Paris, in the 1st Arrondissement, between the Louvre and Place de la Concorde, Le Meurice is one of the most luxurious, extravagant and beautiful hotels throughout France. The Charles de Gaulle Airport is pretty close as well, just 45 minutes away, while the Orly Airport is 30 minutes away and the Gare du Nord Eurostar train station – just 15 minutes by car.

Boasting with world-renowned neighbours like Rue Saint-Honoré and Place Vendôme, Le Meurice shares quite a staggering location. Let’s also not forget about guests being able to do some bicycle riding through the Tuileries Garden, which is just across the street. Mind you, Le Meurice has been the crown jewel of French luxury hotels for more than a century and a half, starting from 1835. The building boasts with gorgeous 18th century architectural cues and luxurious decorations throughout, quite visible in the gallery we’ve provided.

Furthermore, Le Meurice is fitted with lavish dining rooms, a huge collection of artworks and antiquities, summarizing the opulence and history of France’s famous capital. Even better, Philippe Starck has really managed to fill this place with modern touches, in contrast to the original style and in complete assortment with our times. The hotel comprises a total of seven uniquely themed floors comprising 160 rooms and suites, all garnished in Louis XVI’s styles.

And if we mention the Le Meurice Restaurant, our story gets quite tasty – this grandiose restaurant has been garnished with decors and designs inspired by Versailles’s Salon de la Paix and boasts with 3-Michelin Star rating. It is clear, therefore, that it provides the best of dining in Paris. And there’s also the restaurant Le Dali, named after the former, famous Le Meurice resident Salvador Dali. Le Dali was also garnished with a painting signed Philippe Starck and his daughter Ara. And the best of it all, it’s here where you’ll be tasting bold flavors alongside glamour and loads of great time. Nightly rates at Le Meurice start at €440 or $569 if you’re coming from the other side of the Atlantic.
