Hotel de Crillon
A Rosewood Hotel, Paris
Joie de vivre in Paris
Get away to the past by stepping into the present that is Rosewood’s Hôtel de Crillon. It’s not often a hotel can bridge the gap between centuries in such elegance. With a prestigious history and grandeur as inspiration, architect Richard Martinet, artistic director Aline d’Amman, and four Paris-based decorators attended to her transformation. A four-year renovation unearthed the answer to an essential question. Yes, life is better lived against the backdrop of a one-time private residence of Louis XV, under Amethyst chandeliers and within whimsical courtyards. With heritage landmarks like Salon Marie-Antoinette, Salon des Batailles and Salon des Aigles any event leaves guests wishing the 250-year-old walls could talk. Understand, these aren’t just quaint names given to ballrooms. These are the rooms where a young Marie Antoinette studied music, and the scenes of prominent signatories. The exclusive address on the Place de la Concorde is blissfully close to the Champs-Elysées and Jardin des Tuileries and many hot spots in The City of Lights. Creative and bold, you are looking to find a property to reflect your mystique. Perhaps the Ateliers D’Artistes suites with balcony views of the Eiffel Tower match your mood. Suites feature designs that reflect the artistic pursuits of poetry, literature and painting. Explore the gastronomic wonders of the wine cellar and aprés dinner treats at the cigar lounge. rosewoodhotels.com/en/hotel-de-crillon
