The fashion hotel of Paris — red awnings on Avenue Montaigne, Eiffel Tower views from select rooms, and direct access to the couture houses of Chanel, Dior, and Valentino. More theatrical and fashion-forward than the other palace hotels; the Alain Ducasse au Plaza Athénée restaurant is among the celebrated in France.
Why We Chose It
The Plaza Athénée is the quintessentially Parisian of all the palace hotels — the red-awninged facade on Avenue Montaigne, surrounded by the couture houses, is one of the recognizable streetscapes in Paris. The Alain Ducasse restaurant is extraordinary; the Bar du Plaza is one of the top hotel bars in the city. Select rooms and suites have direct Eiffel Tower views.
