Character and identity
Opened in 1913 on Avenue Montaigne, in the thick of the eighth arrondissement's haute couture row, the Plaza Athénée trades on a deep Dior connection and a century of fashion-world patronage. The 208 rooms and suites are split between classic French and Art Deco registers, with silk-covered armchairs, Beltrami linens and marble bathrooms stocked with Guerlain. Chef Jean Imbert oversees five restaurants, from the Art Deco Relais Plaza to the chrome-and-electric-blue Le Bar. The Dior Institut spa was the first of its kind in Paris. The ivy-walled inner courtyard, with its red awnings, becomes an ice rink each winter.
Who's it for
Best for:
Fashion-minded couples and design literates who want a Right Bank base steps from Chanel, Celine and Louis Vuitton, and who'll actually use the Dior spa, Imbert's cooking and the John Lobb shoeshine. Long-stay families are well looked after, with Red Castle strollers, kid itineraries and butler packing service across all room categories.
Should look elsewhere:
Travellers seeking a quiet, residential Paris hideaway, or those drawn to Left Bank intimacy, will find the Avenue Montaigne scene too public and too monied. The gym is small, and the aesthetic, despite contemporary flashes, remains chandelier-heavy and formal.
Bottom line
What you're paying for is the convergence of Dior, Avenue Montaigne and Imbert's kitchens under one century-old roof, a specifically fashion-coded version of grand Paris that no other hotel quite replicates. Spend up for one of the six signature suites if the Eiffel Tower view matters, particularly the Haute Couture; otherwise a courtyard-facing classic room delivers the address without the surcharge.
