This famous hotel, located on the Avenue Kleber, just a few yards from the Arc de Triomphe, is one of the few remaining privately-owned luxury hotels in Paris. Recently refurbished, the 83 air-conditioned bedrooms are classically furnished, many with antiques and silks or hand-painted panels.

The long, impressive panelled lobby has beautiful paintings including an original Turner. The cocktail bar is one of the most fashionable in Paris. A beautiful roof terrace offers a sensational 360 degree panorama of the city; in summer, lunch, evening cocktails and dinner are served here. Fitness centre with sauna and steam bath.
