Why it’s worth traveling for…
Spanning an entire city block in Paris’ stylish 9th arrondissement, this opulent landmark hotel – facing the legenary Opera Garnier and just steps from The Place Vendôme – is beyond grand. It is show-stopping. Since its inception in 1862, the hotel has been a magnet for the well-heeled including tsars, kings, queens and icons like Marlene Dietrich, Ernest Hemingway, Victor Hugo and Oscar Wilde. Today, following a major renovation by renowned interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon, the hotel’s dreamy and spacious rooms, designed to resemble ultra-chic Parisian apartments, are even more magnifique – many come with iconic views of the opera house and Eiffel tower.
