Hotel de Vendome, Paris

Hotel Introduction

The storied Hôtel de Vendôme—built by Louis XIV’s secretary—is located among the chicest, most sophisticated shops in the city—not to mention cultural landmarks such as the Opera and the Louvre. After a four-year restoration, the hotel reopened in 1998, introducing the world to its amazing return to its original grandeur.

The Hôtel de Vendôme is visually stunning, a testament to classical French design with marble inlay flooring, a reception desk created from rare wood, and decorations that include frescoes and fine art pieces. Guests get the sense of living in a palace—without the unapproachable feeling. In addition to its dazzling ambience, it offers upscale amenities such as an English-style bar and gourmet restaurant.

The 19 rooms and 10 suites in the hotel are individually decorated, though universally elegant. They feature antique furniture, rich woods, fine fabrics, bathrooms produced entirely from rare marbles, plush bathrobes, and high-speed Internet access to keep you in touch with the world outside this lavish haven. The Presidential Suite on the top floor is particularly opulent, with a huge bedroom, several living spaces, dressing room, and private terrace.

Dining
Le 1 Place Vendôme is a gourmet French restaurant, serving classic fare with subtle flavours created from the imagination Chef Fréderic Fallope. The hotel bar is British in concept and design, with refined mahogany accents, Chesterfield chairs, and engravings. The English club atmosphere makes for a sophisticated spot in which to sip a glass of champagne in the evening while listening to beautiful music from the hotel’s pianist.

Hotel Features
The Hôtel de Vendôme was built in 1832 by Pierre Perrin, the secretary of Louis XIV, as a private residence.
