Le Royal Monceau Raffles Paris 5*
A legendary palace of art and style in the 8th arrondissement.
Where cultural audacity meets contemporary luxury with artistic subtlety.
Hotel Overview
Le Royal Monceau reflects the spirit of 1928 Paris, founded by Pierre Bermond and André Junot and reopened in 2010 after Philippe Starck’s transformative redesign under Raffles management. Its façade and grand staircase recall art‑deco elegance, while interiors host curated artworks, eclectic Murano lamps, vintage leather sofas, and illustrated maps embedded in writing desks. The hotel remains a creative haven frequented by icons, yet retains a discreet intimacy and contemporary edge.
The Facilities at a Glance
Guests enjoy four restaurants and bars: the Michelin-starred Il Carpaccio, Matsuhisa Paris (Japanese‑Peruvian fusion), La Cuisine for breakfast and brunch, plus Le Bar Long by Starck for cocktails and social moments. The Raffles Spa & Wellness spans 1,500 m² and features a 23-meter indoor pool, Watsu bath, hammam, sauna, seven treatment rooms with Dr. Barbara Sturm, 111Skin and Nooance protocols, and four fitness studios for pilates, yoga and personal coaching. Additional amenities include an art gallery, bookshop, cinema and art concierge.
Our Personal Recommendations
We treasure Royal Monceau for its unique union of art, history, and elevated service. Ask the art concierge, Julie Eugène, to design a private art itinerary—from early-access museum tours to insider gallery previews. Attend a film screening in the 99-seat Katara cinema or explore the Art District’s rotating exhibitions. Book the Ray Charles Suite for sweeping views, an acoustic guitar and Philippe Starck’s signature design ethos. And begin evenings with cocktails at Le Bar Long before dinner at Il Carpaccio—this is a Paris hotel that feels both lived‑in and avant‑garde.
