Le Meurice: Paris Through a Gilded Lens

Le Meurice has faced the Tuileries since 1835, and it is easy to see why it has never gone out of fashion. Suites overlooking the gardens set the tone immediately, gilded moldings, silk upholstery, and bathrooms finished more like a private spa than a standard hotel amenity. The arrival experience carries the same quiet confidence throughout, the kind that only comes from a hotel that has been doing this for nearly two centuries.

Alain Ducasse's dining room and the more casual Le Dali sit at opposite ends of the hotel's personality, one formal and gilded, the other bright and playful beneath its surrealist ceiling, and both feel completely of a piece with the hotel around them. For travelers who want a Paris stay built around real history, this remains one of the first names worth considering.
