Hôtel Le Meurice

Le Meurice, perfecting l’Art de Vivre into a Fine Art for 180 years In the heart of Paris, opposite the Tuileries Gardens, lies one of Dorchester Collection’s gems; Le Meurice. Le Meurice, the first Parisian Palace hotel, has presided over Rue de Rivoli since 1835. Since its creation, Le Meurice has carried a sense of the grandeur and splendor of Versailles, of Kings and Queens, Patrons and artists, enthusiasts and adventurers – and has been perfecting l’art de vivre into a fine art for 180 years. Here, the past and present meet with both humour and glamour, the style of the Grand Siècle encounters Philippe Starck’s signature surrealist style. The private spaces resemble an 18th century Parisian home, a tailor-made jewelry box devised by Charles Jouffre, dedicated to providing comfort day and night Just steps from Place Vendôme and rue Saint-Honoré, where luxury boutiques and young designers abound, Le Meurice is a source of inspiration for those enamored with the cultural, emotional and sensory exuberance of the French capital. Whilst France has made the art of living the foremost expression of its culture, Le Meurice has transformed the luxury hotel experience into a fine art.
