Paris: the most beautiful hotels on the Champs-Élysées

Hotel Paris Marriott Champs-Élysées | The only 5-star hotel directly on the Champs-Élysées

Located at number 70 on the sunny side of the world's most beautiful avenue, the Marriott Champs-Élysées is a luxury establishment in the 8th arrondissement. With its Haussmann-style façade, the five-star hotel hides an immense atrium beneath a glass dome. This architectural masterpiece features a marble floor and a lounge with blue armchairs at its center, where the reception's wooden counters are nestled between handsome stone columns. This timeless chic is the common thread running through the 192 rooms and suites, redesigned in 2009, with herringbone parquet flooring and marble bathrooms. Every piece of furniture and object is in its place in these spaces, free from unnecessary frills. The balconies of certain keys offer unbeatable views of the capital, where you can admire the Eiffel Tower and Parisian rooftops. All rooms overlooking the Champs-Élysées were renovated last year by architectural firm Muza Lab, paying homage to the famous Parisian fashion houses. Contemporary luxury is reflected in objects inspired by crochet and the art of couture, with high studded leather headboards, sleek solid-colored cushions and Italian marble bathrooms sublimated by a sophisticated gray palette.

Which room to book? The Royal Atrium suite overlooks the glass roof of the entrance hall and is bathed in natural light, magnified by the cupola. And what a pleasure it is to brunch at the buffet, which offers savoury dishes, a fine selection of homemade pastries and, to our delight, a corner of pasta cooked directly in a wheel of Parmesan cheese. And let's not forget the opening of the verdant new Cira terrace, a jewel in the heart of the Champs-Elysées, combining Parisian elegance and Mediterranean charm, led by chef Vincent Abi Rached and pastry chef Valentin Langlais, who offer dishes to share and dishes between land and sea.

What we like the most? the interior courtyard with terrace, where you can enjoy lunch away from the hustle and bustle of Paris's busiest avenue.

Hôtel du Rond-Point des Champs-Élysées | The neighborhood's 4-star Art Deco hotel

hôtel du Rond-Point des Champs-Élysées

This building, built in 1850 and modified in the 1920s with three additional floors and an elegant Art Deco facade whose period glass canopy has been preserved, underwent major renovation work in 2018. The interior design of the Hôtel du Rond-Point des Champs-Élysées, transposes all the codes of the 1920s: marble floors and elegant green velvet armchairs in the lobby, a play of mirrors on the walls, an impressive library recounting the history of Paris... As for the 36 rooms, they all boast a unique design: striped wallpaper, dotted with portholes, drawing their inspiration from the aesthetics of transatlantic ocean liner cabins, for one. Another looks like a refined boudoir, with precious fabrics and prints taken from erotic illustrations of the 1920s. The basement of the 4-star hotel features a wellness area with a 13-metre swimming pool, a traditional hammam and deckchairs.

Good to know?  the "kid-friendly"dimension, with family-friendly rooms, a welcome pack for children and a babysitting service.

Norman Hotel & Spa

The Norman Paris, located in the chic 8th arrondissement just off the Champs-Élysées, is a boutique hotel that captivates with its unique style, blending the modern aesthetic of the 1960s with graphic art. This new hotel and spa near the Arc de Triomphe, flagship of the Bertrand Hospitality group and member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World collection, was designed by architect Thomas Vidalenc as a tribute to the American modernist artist Norman Ives. The group has just launched its Vivre - Les Maisons Bertrand collection. The 5-star establishment was designed "for the traveler who doesn't like formatted places, far from the fake Parisian codes, who wants to experience Paris like a local, in a hotel that is culturally similar to him, that brings an extra interest to the destination", says Vidalenc.

The atmosphere is sophisticated and warm, with noble materials such as rosewood, oak, stone, aged leather and marble, enhanced by touches of stainless steel. After passing through the elegant circular entrance, you leave behind a luxurious velvet curtain to enter the welcoming Norman Hôtel & Spa. Here, far from the hustle and bustle of a conventional reception, a spacious library lounge with fireplace invites you to relax. The 29 rooms (superior and deluxe) and 8 suites feature the same materials as the living spaces, with custom-designed furniture enhanced by vintage armchairs and antique pieces. Everywhere, abstract paintings of modernist inspiration, a nod to the emblematic style of Norman Ives, renowned for his vibrantly colorful graphic works.

The wellness? The hotel's spa, 400 m from the Arc de Triomphe, managed by Omnisens, offers a sporty experience (with its lovely gym) and a revitalizing experience with a range of personalized treatments and massages. We love the sleek, mineral decor of the two treatment rooms, where the protocols of the renowned, committed French brand will be dispensed. The restaurant Thiou, where chef Apiradee Thirakomen, a benchmark of Thai cuisine in Paris, offers dishes that skilfully blend the flavours of Thailand and France, is also in the spotlight.

Hôtel Barrière Le Fouquet's Paris | The grand hotel by Barrière

With a name famous the world over, Le Fouquet's Paris is the last great Parisian luxury hotel still owned by a French family. The 101 elegant rooms and suites redecorated in 2017 by Jacques Garcia - just like the rest of the hotel - offer, in some cases, breathtaking views of the Arc de Triomphe. The restaurant offer includes the legendary eponymous brasserie, whose menu is designed by three-starred chef Pierre Gagnaire, and the unexpected Le Joy, which was completely renovated in 2019 and offers a 100% "Made in France" menu featuring the expertise of French producers. Finally, this legendary venue promises a cocoon of serenity in the heart of Paris in its magnificent spa Diane Barrière and its large swimming pool, the largest in the Champs-Élysées district.

What we like the most? the rooftop Le Marta for a trendy Parisian experience, and the garden, a haven of peace just a stone's throw from the bustle of the Champs-Élysées.

Hôtel Balzac, spa hotel near the Arc de Triomphe

Ready for a chic flashback in time? On June 1, 2024, the legendary Hôtel Balzac, just off the Champs-Élysées, is set to reopen its doors, reinvented in the pure tradition of the French hotel industry. Imagined by the artists of Festen Architectes, this spa hotel near the Arc de Triomphe swings between the clean lines of the 30s and 40s and the comfort of today's urban adventurer. With its 58 rooms, some with a breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower, and terraces that defy the rooftops of Paris, this is the kind of spot where you'll quickly feel at home!

At the heart of this refined, neutral-toned space, the bar and spa enhance the experience. While the former promises moments of gourmet conviviality over a cocktail, the latter boasts Japanese flavors that ensure you get back on your feet with an ancestral treatment or take a break in the pool, sauna or hammam.

Le Royal Monceau - Raffles Paris | The Parisian palace redesigned by Philippe Starck

This legendary luxury hotel, opened in 1928, was completely redesigned by Philippe Starck in 2010, unveiling a brand-new décor after several years of extensive work. While retaining the spirit of the place - black bricks, colorful stained-glass windows, "mirror finish" staircase with multiple chandeliers - the star of the design played the modernity card to rejuvenate the clientele. Art and culture have pride of place here, with a contemporary art gallery, an art bookshop and an Art Concierge service. And a collection of 300 works of art throughout the palace, including 85 rooms, 61 suites and 3 presidential suites. In addition, there are two restaurants offering contemporary, cosmopolitan gastronomy: Matsuhisa Paris by the famous Japanese chef Nobu and Il Carpaccio, a renowned Italian restaurant awarded a Michelin star. As for the Bar Long, a tribute to its namesake at Singapore's legendary Raffles, it's the place to be to sip a cocktail before or after dinner. Finally, the My Blend by Clarins spa, a veritable paradise of over 1,500 m² of immaculate white décor, boasts a 23-metre-long pool, one of the largest hotel pools in the capital.

What we like the most? The Royal Monceau is the only one to boast a 99-seat private screening room, with equipment worthy of the finest cinemas and extraordinarily soft armchairs, so you can forget Netflix and rediscover your love of the 7th Art.
