The
Art of Reincarnation
Salvador Dali Slept—and Fished—Here
This
is the third incarnation of Hôtel
Meurice, which first opened its doors in 1817
at a different address as a coach inn for British
traders. Expert builders, restoration experts and
artisans were utilized by architect Jean-Loup Roubert
to bring the palace back to its original spirit
and grandeur. An impressive 240 square meters of
gold leaf adorn the walls of the lobby, which displays
a mosaic from 1903, composed with more than 500,000
pieces of sandstone.
If
you were to have the chance to visit all the rooms
and suites, you would find thirty different schemes,
170 fabrics, precious woods, rare silks, Italian
marbles and period-style furniture. "The Hotel of
Kings", as it is often called, has one of the most
magnificent suites in Paris, La Belle Etoile. The
happy guests who stay here will have from 2,260-
to 2,960-square feet, and their terrace will boast
a 360-degree view of Paris.
Hotel
Meurice, which ranks as one of the best grand hotels
in Paris, requires a restaurant to complement its
image. Restaurant Le
Meurice provides a gracious and elegant dining
experience.
Chef
Yannick Alleno showcases French gastronomy with
creative, light and exquisitely flavored dishes.
Before dining, guests can sip Champagne or whisky
in the hushed jewel box setting of Bar Fontainebleau.
