This Place de la Concorde landmark, built at the direction of King Louis XV in 1758, hasn’t lost its ornate air. Flat-screen televisions and high-speed Internet access bring modern touches to suites and salons still filled with gilt, mirrors, and Baccarat crystal, in addition to genuine Aubusson carpets and Wedgwood medallions. Even the entry-level rooms, at 115 square feet, are not unusually large, but have sitting areas and dressing rooms. The Bar du Crillon is nothing short of elegant, with its mirrored mosaics, red velvet–covered chairs, and dripping chandeliers. Request a song at the piano, then sit back on a settee and sip a Baccarat cocktail (Grand Marnier, lemon, cranberry, Champagne Rosé).
Room to Book:
The 14 Superior suites are particularly quiet and spacious; they look out on the hotel’s courtyard or a seldom-trafficked street.
Insider Tip:
Have a cup of tea or a drink in the Winter Garden; the crystal elephant centerpiece was inspired by one created by Baccarat for the 1878 Exposition.
