Luxury travel is as much about where you lay your head at the end of the day as it is about the sightseeing and activities you participate in. And no one does luxury accommodations abroad like Dorchester Collection.
One of two Dorchester properties in Paris, Hotel Plaza Athenee is located on Avenue Montaigne in the heart of Paris’ finest shopping district. Upon entering the hotel lobby, you’ll find polished marble floors, glittering crystal chandeliers and carpeting so plush you’ll feel like you’re sinking.
Paris is known for its glamour, romance and style and so is the Hotel Plaza Athenee. Its 154 rooms and 54 suites feature timeless Louis XVI décor and antique furniture, giving the rooms a luxurious and glamorous feel, and they have their own private sitting areas. The beds feature bespoke linens and there’s a pillow menu—yes, a variety of pillows to choose from—for the ultimate comfort of every guest. The bathrooms boast Italian marble vanities and accents, and monogrammed robes are provided for your comfort.
If you’re looking for a little recreation, you don’t have to go far. Hotel Plaza Athenee has its own ice skating rink and houses the world-class Dior Institut spa, the only Dior Institut in Europe. And don’t forget the state-of-the-art fitness center with its own personal trainers to help you perfect your form.
You can even take in some jazz with dinner at Le Relais Plaza, one of five restaurants inside Hotel Plaza Athenee, all operated and overseen by Michelin-starred chef Alain Ducasse. Fine dining establishment Alain Ducasse au Plaza Athénée restaurant offers a feast for the eyes as well as for the palate with its one-of-a-kind crystal ceiling designed by internationally recognized designers Patrick Jouin and Sanjit Manku. Have lunch in the courtyard at Le Cour Jardin and grab a snack at La Terrasse Montaigne. Cake and pastry aficionados will want to be sure to dine at La Galerie. The hotel bar is redefined with Le Bar du Plaza Athénée, where guests can enjoy more than a mere drink. Renowned mixologist Thierry Hernandez serves up unique, signature cocktails you won’t find anywhere else.
You’ll have 24-hour concierge service and the hotel even provides chauffeur-driven limousines into the city to the Louvre Museum, the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, and the Le Marais historic district in Paris’ 3rd and 4th arrondissements. Looking for some of the best views of the Eiffel Tower? No need to go anywhere. Simply look out of the window of your room/suite.
Other amenities include a 24/7 business center and 24/7 in-room dining, and housekeeping service twice a day with turn-down service at night. And if your 4-legged best friend and travel companion is under 13 pounds, both of you are more than welcome to stay at the Hotel Plaza Athenee. The hotel will even customize a menu exclusively for him or her. Now that’s accommodation!
