This exclusive haven—featuring only 25 suites and 15 rooms—specializes in sumptuous elegance, from its décor rich with velvet and silk to its service, where each room comes with a dedicated butler. Guests can indulge at the Michelin two-starred restaurant Le Gabriel, and perhaps enjoy a dip in the expansive pool afterward. “The location is perfect,” raves one reader about the hotel’s proximity to the Champs-Élysées. “The staff was outstanding. Paris wouldn’t be the same staying anywhere else.” Another guest sums it up impressively: “Quite possibly the most spectacular hotel I have experienced in my life.”
