| Hôtel de Crillon is an eighteenth-century palace full of charm and elegance with accommodations that are truly fit for a king, with terraces overlooking the Place de la Concorde, sumptuous public rooms, and exquisitely trained staff.

EXPERIENCEIn 1758, the eminent architect Jacques-Ange Gabriel drew up the plans for the future ‚ “Place Louis XV”, including two palaces of nearly one hundred meters in length, fronted by a Corinthian colonnade. One of the palaces was initially home to the Duc d’Aumont, who decorated it sumptuously in the typical French style of the period. In 1788, the Comte de Crillon acquired it, and gave it his name. The Crillon remained a family home until 1907, before being turned into a hotel in 1909. The property remains in private hands and belongs to a famous French family, the Taittingers.
A unique encounter with history, beauty, art, gastronomy and total well-being. Overlooking the sumptuous Place de la Concorde and situated next to the elegant Rue du Faubourg St Honore, the Hotel de Crillon seduces with its exceptional location and its refinement. With 103 rooms, 39 suites and 5 luxury apartments, the Hotel de Crillon offers a wide range of accommodation while retaining the intimate atmosphere of a private residence. The fully personalized service adds privilege to exclusivity. From the hotel’s terraces, guests can admire the Concorde bridge, completed in 1790, the Rue de Rivoli, which was started in 1802, the fountains in the square and the Obelisk of Luxor, which dates from the time of Ramses II. Later, the Eiffel Tower made its appearance, to be joined more recently by the Grande Arche at La Defense and the Louvre pyramid. Many historical and sightseeing spots are walking distance from the hotel. The concierge will be happy to point out the most interesting visits, the best restaurants and evening venues.
At the beginning of 2004, the hotel’s gastronomic restaurant was given a new look by the Parisian interior designer, Sybille de Margerie. She has infused the former ballroom of the Dukes of Crillon with a modern warmth, without compromising its splendor. Subtle lighting brings a beautiful glow to the yellow Sienna marble. The new chef, Jean-François Piège, has put together a classic French menu that takes a few incursions into contemporary cuisine.
Using only the highest quality ingredients and drawing on his unique savoir-faire, he offers honest dishes that reflect the changing seasons, and shares his fascination for good food with the guests. The wine steward has received a number of awards in recent years, and uses his sensitivity to create exciting pairings of dishes and wine. The service is courteous, attentive and unfussy.
