Worth Traveling For
Few hotels embody Paris quite like InterContinental Paris – Le Grand. Opened in 1862 during the reign of Napoleon III, the landmark property has welcomed everyone from royalty and artists to fashion insiders, yet still feels remarkably current following its redesign by acclaimed architect and interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon. Uniquely located across from the Palais Garnier and within walking distance of the Louvre, Place Vendôme, and the Champs-Élysées, it’s one of the city’s most coveted addresses. Inside, signature rooms overlook the Opéra Garnier, while hidden treasures like the glass-canopied La Verrière, the intimate Club Lounge, and the legendary Café de la Paix — serving Parisians and travelers alike for more than 160 years — make the hotel as much a destination as the city itself.
Book the suites — they are worth it. Designed by Pierre-Yves Rochon, each has its own distinct personality, with generous living spaces, oversized marble bathrooms, separate sitting areas, and some of the hotel’s most coveted views overlooking the Opéra Garnier.

Restaurants & Bars
Café de la Paix has been a Parisian institution since 1862. Beautifully restored by Pierre-Yves Rochon, the restaurant retains its magnificent listed Napoleon III décor while Executive Chef Laurent André presents a contemporary interpretation of classic French cuisine. Don’t miss the legendary onion soup, still prepared according to its original 1862 recipe, or the outstanding seafood specialties.
La Verrière occupies what was once the hotel’s carriage courtyard, transformed in 1905 into a spectacular winter garden beneath a 600-square-metre glass canopy. Today, it remains one of the property’s most distinctive architectural landmarks, serving seasonal French cuisine, elegant pastries and one of the city’s finest afternoon teas.
Le Bar is an elegant retreat for pre-dinner drinks or a late-evening nightcap inspired by the timeless charm of traditional English clubs. Expect expertly crafted cocktails, impeccable service and a refined atmosphere. Don’t miss the signature champagne cocktails or the carefully curated selection of classic French apéritifs.

What to Pack
The atmosphere is refined and elegant, reflecting the hotel’s historic Parisian heritage. In the evening, guests often dress more formally for dinner and cocktails. We recommend packing a trench coat (in cooler months), dark-wash jeans, a crisp white button-down, a little black dress, loafers or stylish sneakers for long days of sightseeing, a crossbody bag, and polished evening looks for dinner at Café de la Paix or drinks at Le Bar.
