Hotel De Crillon

A hotel since 1908, the Crillon is housed in a six storey former palace on the Place de la Concorde, one block from the Tuileries and Champs Elysées. The 147 guestrooms and suites retain Louis XV style furnishings and offer views over Boissy d'Arras Street or one of two inner courtyards. All are equipped with dimmer switches, satellite television, Internet connections, minibars, and complimentary newspapers. Bathrooms include Italian marble baths with separate showers, bathrobes, and slippers.
The Michelin starred Les Ambassadeurs restaurant is situated in a former 18th century ballroom with views of the Place de la Concorde. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served daily, accompanied by an extensive wine list, and a jacket is required for lunch and dinner. L'Obélisque is a wood panelled, brasserie style restaurant offering regional French cooking, open for lunch and dinner. The intimate Piano Bar serves light meals at lunch, and the Winter Garden serves coffee, cocktails, and champagne throughout the day. Set in a quiet inner courtyard, the Patio is open for simple, light lunches from May until September.
