Hotel Plaza Athénée Paris

About Hotel Plaza Athénée Paris

Le Relais Plaza’s Art Deco dining room takes its cues from the first-class restaurant aboard the ocean liner SS Normandie—a telling detail at a hotel with such a strong sense of occasion. Opened in 1936, the brasserie remains part of Hôtel Plaza Athénée’s character on avenue Montaigne, where fashion shapes the surroundings and the hotel itself. Christian Dior staged shows and photo shoots here; today, the connection continues through the Dior Spa. Red geraniums mark the façade, while the vine-covered courtyard offers another distinctive setting for a meal. Between the avenue-side terrace, afternoon tea in La Galerie and suites with Eiffel Tower views, the hotel gives guests several ways to settle into this corner of Paris.

For a fashion-led visit, the setting is unusually apt. Shopping on avenue Montaigne, a Dior treatment and a table on the pavement terrace can belong to the same afternoon. The appeal includes the pleasure of watching the scene, with the hotel itself providing a polished vantage point.
