Hôtel Plaza Athénée

Paris, France Dorchester Collection Diamond Club3 MICHELIN KeysForbes Five-Star

The red-awninged palace hotel on Avenue Montaigne, with Eiffel Tower balconies and the couture houses on its doorstep.

Opened in 1913, the Plaza Athénée is the palace hotel of Avenue Montaigne, the fashion street of Paris, between the Champs-Élysées and the Seine. Its 208 rooms are classically Parisian, and the best have balconies facing the Eiffel Tower. The mood is polished and a little formal, with a Dior spa, Michelin-starred dining and breakfast in a gilded salon. Renovations are moving floor by floor, so newer rooms feel fresher than the rest.

Booked through me, your stay at Hôtel Plaza Athénée includes Dorchester Collection Diamond Club benefits.
