Hôtel de Crillon, A Rosewood Hotel

About Hôtel de Crillon, A Rosewood Hotel

Marble floors so polished they feel like a threat. The lobby smells like white flowers and old money, and the Place de la Concorde is right there through those massive windows — Paris at its most absurdly theatrical. Three restaurants, an indoor pool, a spa that could make you forget your problems or at least postpone them. The price is violent, no way around it. Worth it if you skip the minibar and spend that money at the bar downstairs instead.
