“Classically French and regally luxurious, the hotel maintains a sense of Parisian grandeur that rivals the palace grand dames.”
The stylish Hotel Royal Monceau is close to the Arc de Triomphe and just a few paces from the Champs Elysees in Paris. It is probably one of the best of the grand, non-palace luxury hotels.
The facilities
There are massive marbled columns, swags, drapes and chandeliers which greet arriving guests of the luxury hotel. Beyond this is an impressive red and black and silver tiled bar, and, at the back, a charming garden, into which the restaurant is built. Beneath are extensive treatment rooms, a gym and a small pool. The rooms
The rates are certainly better than the palace hotels of Paris, especially considering the size of the 201 rooms in this luxury hotel, which are generally big. Often they have two windows, their cream and white walls and elegant repro furnishings give them a light, bright feel. Deluxes are positively huge, and many of them have separate showers.
