Located just minutes from the famous Arc de Triomphe and Champs-Elysees, the historic Le Royal Monceau has welcomed innumerable dignitaries, celebrities and artists since it opened in 1928.Le Royal Monceau Raffles Paris closed in 2008 for an entire transformation conducted by the famous French designer Philippe Starck. The hotel reopened its doors in October 2010 as a new generation palace where art and culture are predominant. The dream was to create somewhere different, a place that is first and foremost felt through the energy intertwined with its history, with Paris and its sense of hospitality. A dream to create a space that is above all in the mind and the senses, interspersed with encounters, sensations and emotions, ingrained with the French spirit, imbued with culture and devoted to true elegance: the elegance of intelligence, of human relations and poetic moments. Le Royal Monceau is Raffles Hotels and Resorts�� flagship hotel in France and in Europe offering149 rooms and suites, some with private balconies, and all with an inviting and thoroughly comfortable setting, decorated with artwork, an acoustic guitar, spacious bathrooms and elegant dressing rooms.Epicureans may revel in our two restaurants: ��La Cuisine��, the French fine-dining restaurant, and ��Il Carpaccio��, the Italian gastronomic restaurant, with its decoration inspired by the Sicilian grottos.
