Hotel Review
Le Meurice, Paris, France
No hotel screams 'I'm in Paris!' better than Le Meurice. Boasting a super-central location beside the Jardin des Tuileries, it has an an illustrious heritage dating back to 1835 and belongs to an exclusive band of French luxury hotels that have been granted 'palace' status. Being part of the Dorchester Collection ensures the level of comfort and service is second to none, but the hotel also has its own distinctive style. This is reflected in its love of surrealist art and a faith in rising stars such as interior designers Lally & Berger, the talented chef Amaury Bouhours and the award-winning pâtissier Cédric Grolet. Whether your goal is romance, celebration or simply exploring, a night or two here instantly unlocks the magic of this famous city.
