Hotel Le Meurice

Spa

The Hotel Le Meurice, first Parisian palace (1835) has been enhanced by a new “daliesque” decorating imagined by Philippe Starck. Once again, the hotel dares a new adventure by placing new Valmont treatments.

Valmont is an upscale Swiss brand of cosmetics which proposes face treatments like the Glaciers Moisturising Vitality Treatment (1h30-200 €) or the fresh new treatments like the Eye Contour Lifting Intensive treatment in exclusivity at Le Meurice (50 mn-150 €). For the body, a wide massages range which uses the “Thermes Marins de Saint Malo” products is proposed, like the Exclusive “Meurice” body massage (50 mn-120 €). Finally, to leave the Spa Valmont with a healthy glow to your cheeks, a little touch of make-up signed “By Terry” will delight the most coquette women! You will be fond of the exquisite rose balm (39 €). The new Spa Valmont for Le Meurice is an incontrovertible address not to be missed with its “3 in 1” concept which enables you to leave with a perfect face, body and complexion.

The sunny terrace is equiped with umbrellas, deckchairs, and little tables to freshen up, have a light lunch and enjoy the spring menu: fresh salads full of vitamins, carpaccios, light sandwichs, Detox macarons, fresh fruits and vegetables juices, frappucinos, ice teas and so on.

Spa open from 8am to 10pm for the fittings and from 10am to 8pm for the treatments from Monday to Sunday.

Fitness Centre

The separate 80-square-metre (860-square-foot) fitness center offers the latest equipment, including free weights and cardio-training machines by Star Trac and Concept II.

Meetings & Events

Why settle for the ordinary, when you can lend your next big event some real panache by holding it at Le Meurice in one of the five reception and conference rooms?

Le Meurice offers five banqueting rooms on the ground floor of the hotel, three of which are connecting, including the ceremonial Salon Pompadour. These rooms can accommodate receptions from 5 to 450 people, for breakfasts, luncheons, meetings, fashion shows, cocktails, and dinner parties.

The Pompadour Salon’s fabulous gilt trimmings and decorative woodwork may be remands of another era, yet they remain the perfect backdrop for contemporary gatherings ranging from fashion shows to wedding banquets. The hushed surroundings of the Tuileries and Jeu de Paume Salons are equally exquisite venues to make a stylish statement.

And since January 2008, let’s be seduced by the two new conference rooms called Le Grand Castiglione and Le Petit Castiglione. These two new places welcome your professional meetings and conferences around light and healthy lunch. The decoration is very modern with uncluttered and white furniture.

All menus and lunch trays are supervised by our three star Chef Yannick Alléno.

Weddings

Ideally located opposite the Tuileries Gardens, the Hotel Le Meurice, is the ideal setting for celebrating one of the most important days of your life. Le Meurice is a magical, serene and elegant place, where the refined splendours of 18th-century architecture meet the design of Philippe Starck.

But it is also where Yannick Alléno, the French three-star Chef at the head of the kitchens of Le Meurice, celebrates the seasons with his culinary creations. His heavenly cuisine elevates Parisian gastronomy to the rank of art.

For your wedding, every detail will be considered and every expectation exceeded with the renowned service and iconic elegance that the hotel has long been known for.

Offering 4,500 square feet of sophisticated event space from the scenic Salon Pompadour to the modern Castiglione ballrooms, this landmark hotel in the heart of Paris is the perfect place for the perfect beginning.

Child Programs

Thanks to its perfect location in the 1st district of Paris, the families can relax at the hotel and the children have fun. We organize visits to the Jardin d’Acclimation, the Parc André Citroën, or even cruises on the Bateaux-Mouches.

Children can do some Carousel rides in the Tuileries Garden while the mothers do shopping on the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. They can also play with custom-made toy wooden boats to sail in the boat pond in the Tuileries Garden. A treasure hunt is organized at the hotel with the Pistache mascot and awarded with an exclusive hotel gift. Le Meurice has created a passport given to the children at their arrival taking their family on a (re)discovery of Paris’ little-known delights. Their very own passport map out a trail of city’s most magical sights.

Pet Policy

Le Meurice has always been very welcoming to pets. During the renovations from 1905-1907, the workers took in a stray greyhound that had been living on-site. Hotel personnel then adopted the dog, and it soon became the mascot and inspiration for the Meurice’s emblem today – a pair of Greyhounds. Also, when Salvador Dali one of the Meurice’s regular guests, checked out, the hotel staff had to completely repaint the Suite Royale because his two tame ocelots particularly loved the carpets!

•Complimentary pet basket (for cats and dogs) available,
•Custom-designed bowl with the name of the pet can be easily arranged in advance,
•Name tag with the name of the pet,
•Specific menus and food options available,
•The grooms are pleased to walk dogs in the Tuileries Garden.

Restaurant le Meurice

Chef: Yannick Alléno

Restaurant Manager: Patrice Le Nouvel

At breakfast, lunch or dinner, restaurant Le Meurice offers a rich, subtle and varied menu. With precision, without extravagance, faithful to true flavours and excellently presented, Chef Yannick Alléno’s three Michelin-star cuisine is modern and audacious.

“I try to think of what people will like” says Yannick Alléno. While Chef Sommelier, Estelle Touzet, conveys her precious advice in tasting exquisite wines…

Restaurant Le Meurice is a veritable gastronomic tour including a new concept of tableware called Ondes © an unseen collection of plates designed by Yannick Alléno himself, the tour then continues with a champagne bar and a refrigerated wine cellar open to the dining room containing 616 bottles. The oldest bottle is a Château Cos D’Estournel 1928 Saint Estèphe and the most recent one is a Romanée Conti Grand Cru 2004. Last but not least, the Chef’s table placed in his kitchen… You certainly won’t get bored!

Your palate will be astonished by the variety of savours and your eyes will be delighted by the dining room’s wonderful decor. Inspired by the Salon de la Paix at Château de Versailles, the decor of restaurant le Meurice reinterpreted by Philippe Starck in 2007, really is an invitation to a unique rapture. This 17th century “grand siècle” style decor is based on three paintings dating from 1905 to 1907, the first phase of the refurbishment of Le Meurice since it opened. Theophile Poilpot (1848-1915) was a French Académie painter who painted in the “pompier” style.

Beyond the majestic gilded glass door, discover ancient mirrors, chandeliers and noble materials such as bronze, marble and other frescoes.

Bar 228

Named Bar 228 after the hotel’s address on 228 rue de Rivoli, this place has become “the rendez-vous” of Parisians. The cosy atmosphere of Bar 228 has the warmth of British clubs, perhaps due to the many british guests that visited hotel Le Meurice in its early years. Totally reinterpreted by Philippe Starck in December 2007, the warm and hushed decor remains faithful to its origins with wooden bar stools and leather chairs. The atmosphere is subtly warmed by the crackling glow of tobacco shades and highlighted by the sparkle of rare crystal decanters, to be filled at leisure. An exceptional moment to share…

Like the festive night scene at Château de Fontainebleau portrayed in the three restored Lavalley paintings hanging on its walls, the Bar 228 offers guests an ideal respite, complete decadent cocktails and lavish décor. The evening sky gives the bar a cozy-but-rich feeling. This setting combined with a selection of over 50 whiskies and malts will keep guests warm throughout the year.

300 drink references are available at Bar 228, among them 17 exclusive creations, such as the Cocktail Starcky or The 228.
Perfect for a quick lunch, while still elegantly presented. Parisians say it serves the best club sandwiches in Paris! Or try the “Croque Meurice”, which is the “deluxe” version of the traditional croque-monsieur. Bon appétit…

Every evening, enjoy two jazz musicians who liven the soul of Le Meurice, from 7 p.m. to midnight. The pianist is accompanied by a bass guitarist, a guitarist or a drummer.
