Star
"Designer hotel for Bohemians, with old parquet and a deliberately sleazy Pigalle porn theme... You’re paying for fashion and atmosphere here, not service."
Frommer's
"This hotel oozes streetwise chic and attitude." Full review
Concierge
"André... has reworked this Montmarte building into a hip bobo... flophouse, where the 20 rooms bear the idiosyncrasies of different artists."
Insight Guides
"Perhaps surprisingly, it’s also friendly and reasonable value. Located in the Pigalle district, it attracts a fashionable clientele."
Star Service
"Guests should be aware that the hotel's namesake is not a light-hearted choice, and the unusual trend toward conversation-starting love themes is central to the hotel's popularity." Full review
Gayot
"This hotel features only twenty rooms, varying in size and each styles with a customized theme."
BlackBook
"A project of nightlife scion Thierry Costes, graffiti artist André, and restaurateur Emmanuel Delavenne, Hôtel Amour’s 20 unique rooms are among the most hyped in Paris."
Condé Nast Traveler
"André, the mono-monikered artist and nightlife impresario, has reworked this Montmartre building into a hip bobo (bohemian bourgeois) flophouse." Full review

Rough Guide
"Palatial opulence in the style of Louis XVI, with unsurpassed vistas over Paris and superlative en suites."
Frommer's
"This landmark lies between the place de la Concorde and the Grand Louvre, facing the Tuileries Gardens." Full review
Concierge
"Le Meurice still has a vaguely decadent and artistic tone that sets it apart from other high-priced Parisian gilt trips."
Fodor's
"Since 1835, the Meurice has welcomed royalty and celebrities... and Paris' first palace hotel continues to please with service, style, and views." Full review
Insight Guides
"Elegant, 18th-century-style salons and a Michelin-starred restaurant are among the many assets of this historic grand hôtel."
DK Eyewitness
"The Meurice is a perfect example of successful restoration, with excellent replicas of the original plasterwork and furnishings."
Time Out
"With its extravagant Louis XVI decor, mosaic tiled floors and modish restyling by Philippe Starck, Le Meurice is looking grander than ever." Full review
Star Service
"Reviled by some, beloved by others, this lavish wedding-cake-of-a-place is colored up with an ungodly amount of icing, its extravagant baroque sensibility teasing the best duds out of your luggage. " Full review
Gayot
"Part of the prestigious Dorchester group, Le Meurice is one of Europe's most highly regarded hotels."
BlackBook
"Reminiscent of a palace, offers spacious suites in the style of Louis XVI. Pricey amenities are worth every penny."
