Each of the seven floors has a distinct style, with 160 beautifully appointed rooms and suites decorated in a style redolent of Louis XVI with exquisite Italian marble bathrooms. Recently, the hotel came to a new embellishment phase of the living areas by Philippe Starck. Combining exceptional decoration, style and quality with contemporary chic, he added a modern twist whilst preserving the special atmosphere of luxury that is the very soul of this establishment. Yannick Alléno, three Michelin-star French Chef at the head of fine-dining restaurant le Meurice, elevates Parisian gastronomy to the rank of art, and le Dali with its new culinary concept, where past and present meet with humour and glamour.

Two treatment rooms are reserved for SkinCeuticals body and face treatments, dispensed by professionally trained beauticians. The SkinCeuticals philosophy is based on three complementary principles: to prevent signs of premature aging, to correct visible signs of age (in particular through the use of pure and highly concentrated active ingredients) and to protect healthy skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation through the daily use of sunscreen. Spa guests can try out facial treatment protocols (intensive, detoxifying, unifying radiance, soothing, perfecting, and supreme anti-aging restructuring treatments, each of which is performed in 9 steps and lasts on average for an hour). Body treatments include double-peel activator, restorative resurfacing and rejuvenating firming treatment, the three anti-aging protocols developed by SkinCeuticals.

In 1852, the Emperor Napoléon III commissioned Georges Haussmann to transform Paris, a quiet medieval city, into a modern and bustling capital which would enjoy world-wide recognition. During this period, many unique hotels were built which have today become symbols of traditional French style. In 1911, at 25 Avenue Montaigne, the Plaza Athénée opened at the same time as the nearby Theatre des Champs Elysées: the hotel soon became the gathering place for the most prominent composers and performers of the day. By 1936, the hotel had achieved international fame. The Galerie des Gobelins and the restaurant, its salons and apartments hosted many great personalities of this period including Joséphine Baker, Rudolph Valentino and Maurice Chevalier. When Christian Dior opened on Avenue Montaigne in close proximity to the Plaza Athénée, a new era began. Avenue Montaigne quickly turned into the avenue of ‘haute couture’, and the Plaza Athénée became Paris’ focus for fashion and the arts. In the past, the Plaza Athénée has hosted such famous guests as Grace Kelly, Gary Cooper, Jackie Kennedy and the Ford family. The Plaza Athénée has now become a landmark. Since the beginning of year 2000, the complete refurbishment of the Plaza Athénée has combined its traditional classical style with the most modern technology, further enhancing its already legendary reputation as one of the great hotels of the world.
