Michelin Guide Star
"Refurbished from top to bottom in 2010, this hotel has been transformed into a 21 C palace...At the cutting edge of modern interior design!"
Frommer's "The spacious rooms offer all the comfort and amenities that you would expect from a hotel of this caliber, but still have a relaxed vibe." Full review
Concierge "If a suite is out of your budget, get a standard double overlooking the hotel garden."
Time Out "This isn't the type of place you’d come for lunch every day... but if you want to splash out, this one of the most beautiful hotels in Paris." Full review
Star Service "Contemporary and innovative ambience wrapped up in a retro fantasy decor—the 1940s seen through the wormhole—while offering such things as a bookstore, a screening room, an art gallery." Full review
Gayot "A Paris institution since opening in 1928, Le Royal Monceau has been reimagined into a 21st-century celebration of art de vivre."
BlackBook "The glorious Royal Monceau should see a steady parade of the fabulous and fashionable beating a path to its glittering doors."
Fodor's "The glamorous Royal Monceau Raffles offers unparalleled luxury along with a hefty dose of cool." Full review
Oyster5.0
"Rates are eye-wateringly expensive -- probably the highest in Paris -- so this resort is only to be considered by those with very deep pockets." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Built in 1928, the unapologetically luxe hotel was closed for two years and reopened in October 2010 after a monumental transformation by Philippe Starck." 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."
