Le Royal Monceau - Raffles Paris

The contemporary and glamorous Le Royal Monceau - Raffles Paris reopened in 2010 as the most exciting 5-star luxury hotel in Paris, after a radical and complete two-year transformation by designer Philippe Starck. In 2015, the property's "Palace" distinction was renewed, rewarding the hotel another five years 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 art and as a rendez-vous for artists and writers as well as luxury seekers and adventurers.
