HOTEL PLAZA ATHÉNÉE
PARIS, FRANCE
Founded in 1913, the Hotel Plaza Athénée has always been an
Haute Couture destination in Paris. Regarded as one of the best
hospitality services in Paris, the Plaza Athénée is the idyllic venue to
shop in the renowned avenue Montaigne while enjoying supreme
views of the Eiffel Tower. The Hotel is a part of the prestigious
Dorchester Collection of hotels. If is looking forward a fun winter
gliding around the hotel’s ice rink or al fresco summer dining in
the charming Court Jardin, the Hôtel Plaza Athénée thinks about
every single detail in order to ensure that your trip to one of the
fashion capitals of the world is an unforgettable one. The Hotel has
been recently restored and, as a result, it is now comprised of 154
guestrooms and 54 suites, all with a characteristically Louis XVI-
inspired decor. The accommodations are reflective of the Parisian
glamour and each room features room features bespoke linen, Italian
marble bathrooms, antique furnishings, elegant sitting areas and a
pillow menu for unequalled comfort.Le Bar du Plaza Athénée has
been lavishly redesigned and is the perfect place to indulge in a
cocktail or two. The Hotel also features five stunning restaurants, all
of which are overseen by our world-renowned, multiple Michelin-
starred Chef, Alain Ducasse. We had the pleasure to visit the Alain
Ducasse au Plaza Athénée – which has won three Michelin-stars -
where we were greeted with an impressive combination of exquisite
flavours and natural ingredients that resulted in scrumptious and
healthy dishes. The restaurant has been newly designed by Patrick
Jouin and Sanjit Manku, featuring a colossal crystal ceiling that
leaves guests absolutely flabbergasted, such as us. The restaurant
presents a diverse menu that represents its essence of naturalness,
one of the dishes we had the opportunity to joyfully savour was
the Gamberoni from San Remo accompanied with avocado grilled
on coffee beans, which was a complete out-of-body experience.
Logically, the restaurant also has a heavenly wine selection that
is overseen by the experienced sommelier, Gérard Margeon. As if
everything we listed to this point wasn’t enough, the hotel also
houses the only Dior Institute in Europe where guests can benefit
from exclusive spa treatments in an opulent and relaxing ambience.
