Built in 1928, Le Royal Monceau - Raffles Paris reopened in 2010 as the most exciting luxury hotel in Paris, after a complete two-year transformation by designer Philippe Starck. In 2013, the property’s “Palace” distinction was given, rewarding the hotel of its prestigious 5-star excellence rating. Located near the Champs-Elysées in Paris' 8th arrondissement, Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris, is known for its contemporary vibe and as a rendezvous for artists and writers as well as luxury seekers and adventurers. The omnipresent artistic and vibrant culture comes to life through the property’s exclusive Art Concierge, the Art Bookstore, an Art Gallery, a 99-seat Katara Cinema and an impressive private Art collection. With its 149 Parisian designed bedrooms and spacious suites, including 3 Presidential Suites, the only contemporary Palace in Paris is only steps from the Arc de Triomphe. Acclaimed for its international culinary offerings, the hotel’s award-winning restaurants showcase the property’s creative spirit, from the sweet symphony by Chef and Entrepreneur Yazid Ichemrahen, to the effervescence of ‘Le Bar Long’ and its three restaurants: ‘Matsuhisa Paris’, dedicated to Japanese-Peruvian gastronomy from the famous Chef Nobu and ‘Il Carpaccio’, a Michelin-starred Italian restaurant in collaboration with Da Vittorio family. Not to be missed are the outstanding brunches and breakfasts at ‘La Cuisine’ restaurant. Furthermore, the 1, 500sqm Raffles Spa & Wellness is an award-winning paradise, featuring one of the longest swimming pool of a Parisian Palace.

Champs-Elysées is a vibrant and iconic area known for its luxury shops and lively atmosphere. While it offers a romantic setting, it can be quite noisy and crowded, making it less ideal for quiet family outings.
