Steeped in history since it first opened its doors in 1835, Le Meurice Paris majestically holds court on the Rue de Rivoli with the beautiful Jardin des Tuileries, one of Paris\u2019s most striking parks, directly opposite.<\/p>\n

With Place Vend\u00f4me and Rue Sainte-Honor\u00e9 also mere minutes away, Le Meurice must surely be one of the most desired addresses in Paris and certainly one of the best luxury hotels in Paris<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Le<\/a><\/p>\n

The 18th-century architecture, modern design touches and the latest in contemporary comfort and elegance create a truly resplendent modern palace hotel.<\/p>\n

At each moment spent in the confines of the hotel, there is someone one step ahead and one step behind, making sure that every whim and desire is taken care of.<\/p>\n

Doors open, chocolate arrives in your room and drinks appear at the bar even before you realise that you want them. But then, of course, you realise you do.<\/p>\n

But it is not the service alone that makes Le Meurice special. The Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe, the Tour d\u2019Eiffel \u2013 all Paris\u2019s great monuments, revered throughout the world – are visible from some of the rooms, allowing guests to be a tourist merely by glancing out the window.<\/p>\n

However, some of Paris\u2019s most interesting history has occurred within the hotel itself. A guest book including princes, statesmen, artists and even a celebrity dog make you feel like the world comes to you at Le Meurice and that you will not miss a beat if you never set foot outside.<\/p>\n

The 160 rooms and suites are elegant, classic and luxurious in the style of Louis XVI, while the suites feature huge walk-in wardrobes and exquisite marble bathrooms, complete with Penhaligon\u2019s products, and the Belle Etoile penthouse has its own private lift, butler’s pantry and 360\u00b0 views from its rooftop terrace.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

The hotel excels with its restaurant offerings – three Michelin stars are found on the plates of the main dining room, which is decorated with ancient mirrors, chandeliers and frescoed ceilings, with perfectly placed tables and views over the Tuilerieis Gardens.<\/p>\n

For those looking for something more relaxed but still opulent and just as glamorous, there is Restaurant Le Dali, named after Salvador Dali who spent at least one month every year at the hotel, along with many other famous artists, and whose influence is clearly felt throughout the hotel.<\/p>\n

My lunch consisted of a peppery gazpacho amuse bouche followed by a milky, creamy burrata with salad, pine nuts and tomato shavings, with a main course of lobster with fine elbow pasta, Parmesan, asparagus and edible gold, all of which was expertly executed with impeccable service.<\/p>\n

The main dining room had clearly dropped a few Michelin tips along the way and Le Dali would stand up to the competition of Paris\u2019s other top tables on its own accolades.<\/p>\n

Bar 228 with its live jazz and dark wood design brings out your inner Jay Gatsby, with decadent cocktails served in big crystal tumblers. For those in need of pampering, there is also a spa with expert therapists to help you look younger, more relaxed and glowing.<\/p>\n

Breakfast in bed at Le Meurice is the ultimate Parisian indulgence – a trolley with crisp white linens arrives with a perfectly positioned rose on the tray, stunning silverware and truly exquisite croissants, while the daylight streams gently through the windows.<\/p>\n

Le Meurice Paris is regal, glamorous and charming, expertly showing how a grand hotel can be anything but stuffy.<\/p>\n
