Hotel Le Meurice Paris

The legendary "Palace-grade" hotel Le Meurice in Paris, the first of its kind in the city. Established in 1835, this historic hotel is located in the golden heart of Paris, surrounded by world-famous landmarks. Its entrance directly faces the Tuileries Garden and the Seine River, with the Louvre a left turn away, Place de la Concorde to the right, and Place Vendôme behind—all within walking distance. Inside the hotel, the Michelin three-star restaurant Le Meurice Alain Ducasse continues the glorious tradition of French haute cuisine. In the 19th century, Le Meurice earned the title "Hotel of Kings" for hosting monarchs, queens, and presidents from Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. For nearly 200 years, Le Meurice has welcomed countless dignitaries and celebrities. This was once the source of inspiration for Dalí, who found acceptance for all his eccentricities here, while he imbued this 18th-century French palace-style hotel with surrealist dreams. Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris" was filmed here. During World War II, Le Meurice was occupied by German authorities and served as the Paris headquarters for the German army. Bathed in the alternating lights of the Eiffel Tower and the glow of sunset, Le Meurice continues to witness and write its own legend.
