Le Royal Monceau - Raffles Paris ★★★★★

Standing on the grounds of a historic landmark, Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris embodies the Parisien je-ne-sais-quoi, a vibrant and voguish establishment, majestically sitting just a stone’s throw from the Charles de Gaulle Etoile metro, all you need to unravel the city’s top attractions lies at your fingertips. Be welcomed with top hats as you walk the regal red carpet from the hotel’s entrance into the elegant, expansive lobby.

Our Deluxe Collection room exuded extravagance and comfort, the décor inspired by the forties and fifties era. In the corner we even had an acoustic guitar to feel like real life artists. Beds are lined with luxury linens and are sumptuously soft. The pristine marble floored bathroom was surrounded by glistening mirrors and equipped with Clarins toiletries to pamper yourself like a French fifties film star.

We indulged in a pleasant Parisien breakfast in the morning with gluten-free, buffet and Irish/English breakfast options. The pastries and French toast are superb. You will be amazed at the attention to detail and beautiful presentation of all the food options on offer. The gastronomy of the IL Carpaccio restaurant with an Italian flair is the perfect place to dine for dinner and delight in the delectable pastries by chef Pierre Herme.

Escape the bustle of the city at the Spa Clarins & myBlend with a refreshing dip in the pool, followed by a sojourn in the steamy Turkish hammam or a rejuvenating massage to roll your stress away. You can even enjoy a gourmet Sunday at the hotel’s Katara Cinema, with a private screening and a cone of caramel glazed popcorn. For tips about visiting museums or if you wish to uncover the hotel’s very own private art collection, ask the wonderful and welcoming concierge to give you some recommendations.

Get ready to be treated like royalty in this regal palace that will far exceed your expectations.
