In the hotel

The Grand Palais for the world's elite

Designed by architects Henri Deglane, Albert Louvet, and Albert Thomas, this eclectic monument blends neoclassicism, Art Nouveau, and modernity—a distillation of influences from France's Belle Époque.

Beyond the walls

Avenue Montaigne, the high-fashion sanctuary

While Avenue Montaigne is a must-visit today for anyone looking to admire the latest inspirations from the greatest couturiers, that was not always the case.

Beyond the walls

A majestic, nearly two-hundred-year-old neighbor to our hotel, it overlooks the "most beautiful avenue in the world" like a sage watching time go by.

Beyond the walls

The banks of the Seine, a Parisian stage

The banks of the Seine ignite, cobblestone by cobblestone, with the golden rays of the setting sun. Touched by the gold of the moment, the monuments blaze, as if intentionally lit by the most beautiful of lights.

Beyond the walls

The Galerie Dior, Avenue Montaigne

At 30 Avenue Montaigne, the private mansion where the Dior legend was born and established in 1946 has become much more than a legendary address.
