Le Meurice is one of Paris's grandest palace hotels, occupying a prime position on the rue de Rivoli in the 1st arrondissement, directly facing the Tuileries Garden. Dating to the early 19th century and styled with Louis XVI-inspired opulence, it offers sumptuous rooms (many with Tuileries or Paris-rooftop views), a renowned haute-cuisine restaurant, a glamorous tea salon, and a celebrated spa. Steps from the Louvre, the Place de la Concorde, and the Place Vendôme, it's a refined, supremely located base for a luxury stay.
Le Meurice has welcomed travelers since 1815, making it one of the oldest and most storied luxury hotels in Paris. Holding the prestigious French "Palace" distinction, it sits on the rue de Rivoli in the 1st arrondissement, its grandest rooms looking out over the Tuileries Garden toward the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay beyond.
The interiors evoke 18th-century French splendor — gilding, marble, crystal chandeliers, and antique-style furnishings — refreshed with touches by famous designers over the years. The hotel is renowned for its dining, including a celebrated haute-cuisine restaurant and an elegant tea salon beneath a glass roof, as well as a sophisticated bar and a luxurious spa. Service is impeccable and discreet, in keeping with a true palace hotel. It has a long association with artists and writers (Salvador Dalí was a famous longtime guest).
The location is among the very best in Paris: across from the Tuileries, a short walk to the Louvre, the Musée de l'Orangerie, the Place de la Concorde, the Place Vendôme, and the rue Saint-Honoré's luxury boutiques. Le Meurice suits travelers seeking the pinnacle of classic Parisian palace-hotel luxury in a central, scenic setting, ideal for special occasions and grand stays.
