Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris

Le Royal Monceau offers the elegance, prestige, luxury, and hospitality that have been signs of high European culture. Only in France, in Paris, steeped in history, passion, beauty, and “l’art de vivre”, could this legendary hotel begin yet another life in a refined new design that recalls its origins as it appeals to the contemporary traveler, who desires not merely a place to stay but a place to feel truly welcome. Guests are treated like close family, a few doorsteps away from “the most beautiful avenue in the world”, the Champ-Elysées, and the Arc-de-Triomphe. Only the charm of the French phrase “je-ne-sais-quoi” can begin to describe the singular and most sensational experience that awaits you at Le Royal Monceau, 37 avenue Hoche in the 8th arrondisement of Paris.

Le Royal Monceau is Raffles Hotels and Resorts’ flagship hotel in France and in Europe offering 149 rooms and suites, some with private balconies, and all with an inviting and thoroughly comfortable setting, decorated with artwork, an acoustic guitar, spacious bathrooms and elegant dressing rooms. The style of the rooms and suites is inspired by the 1940s-1950s: warm, noble materials, rigorous lines, and a timeless notion of luxury, all the while including poetic variations and unique perspectives on traditional comforts.

World renowned Chef Nobu Matsuhisa has chosen Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris to be the home of his first Matsuhisa restaurant in France. Matsuhisa Paris brings with it a highly contemporary vision of Japanese cuisine; a gastronomic encounter between Asia and Latin America. There is also “Il Carpaccio”, the Italian gastronomic restaurant, with its decoration inspired by the Sicilian grottos. “Le Bar Long” offers an all-day dining alternative for guests seeking a contemporary and creative food experience.

Art is a cornerstone of the hotel’s identity. This is particularly true in the public areas, where special commissions are on permanent exhibition. The hotel has also established an in-house collection of photographs that are exhibited in the rooms and suites. The collection presently features two-hundred and eighty-five prints, and will continue to grow.
