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."

Star Service "This hotel's location on the western edge of Paris makes it among the most serene and exclusive hotels in town." Full review
Gayot "At this, the only chateau hotel in Paris, the generously proportioned 48 rooms and suites are decorated in a low-key 1930s style with flowers, plants and bathrooms clad in gray mosaic tile."
BlackBook "A half-French, half-American named Bambi Sloan takes credit for interior design of clashing striped-on-floral funk and hot-air balloon wallpaper that somehow works dazzlingly."
Condé Nast Traveler "Forty-eight delightfully renovated rooms and suites in a garden-surrounded neoclassical mansion built in 1892 in the elegant sixteenth arrondissement." Full review
