Hotel de Crillon, A Rosewood Hotel
France
Hôtel de Crillon gives Place de la Concorde a hotel where historical architecture and contemporary residential design sit closely together. The setting carries the formality of a major Paris landmark, while the rooms soften that impression through custom artwork, comfortable furnishings and marble bathrooms. Individually designed signature suites make the accommodation especially varied. The public spaces support several moods. Les Ambassadeurs uses cocktails to engage with the building's history, Nonos par Paul Pairet brings a lively contemporary dining room, and Butterfly Pâtisserie focuses attention on cakes and chocolates. These experiences make the property appealing even to travellers who prefer to plan their own restaurant itinerary around the city. Sense spa and a programme of wellness experiences offer quieter ways to use the hotel. Family accommodation and activities broaden its practical appeal. The Crillon earns its place for transforming a monumental address into a usable, residential stay, particularly for guests drawn to design, French decorative arts and the central Right Bank.
