Hotel Plaza Athénée Paris

Hôtel Plaza Athénée sits on Avenue Montaigne at the center of Paris fashion, surrounded by major couture houses and positioned between the Champs-Élysées and Seine. Few hotels are as inseparable from their street address.

The façade’s red awnings and seasonal flowers announce the hotel before guests reach the door, and the interiors continue the sense of occasion through marble, gilding, silks and classic Parisian detailing. Upper floors introduce a cleaner Art Deco vocabulary without losing the grandeur.

Rooms and suites range from traditional French interiors to more streamlined top-floor accommodations. A select group has direct Eiffel Tower views, while others overlook Avenue Montaigne or the hotel’s vine-covered courtyard.

Wellness is anchored by the Dior Spa, one of the property’s defining relationships with the fashion world. Dining and social spaces range from the courtyard to the glamorous Le Relais Plaza, making the hotel as much a Paris gathering place as an accommodation.

Plaza Athénée is best for travelers who want Paris luxury at its most visibly fashionable. It is polished, public and unapologetically glamorous, with an address that turns stepping outside into part of the experience.
