De Crillon Hotel

Of all the luxury hotels in Paris, the Hotel de Crillon is the richest in history and culture. In 1758, the eminent architect Jacques-Ange Gabriel drew up the plans for the future “Place Louis XV”, including two palaces of nearly one hundred meters in length, fronted by a Corinthian colonnade. One of the palaces was initially home to the Duc d’Aumont, who decorated it  sumptuously in the typical French style of the period. In 1788, the Comte de Crillon acquired it, and gave it his name. The Crillon remained a family home until 1907, before being turned into a hotel in 1909. The property remains in private hands and belongs to a famous French family, the Taittingers.

The Hotel de Crillon offers its guests Paris in its entirety. From the hotel’s terraces, guests can admire the Concorde bridge, completed in 1790, the Rue de Rivoli, which was started in 1802, the fountains in the square and the Obelisk of Luxor, which dates from the time of Ramses II. Later, the Eiffel Tower made its appearance, to be joined more recently by the Grande Arche at La Defense and the Louvre pyramid. Many historical and sightseeing spots are walking distance from the hotel. Our concierge will be happy to point out the most interesting visits, the best restaurants and evening venues.

Overlooking the sumptuous Place de la Concorde and situated next to the elegant Rue du Faubourg St Honore, the Hotel de Crillon seduces with its exceptional location and its refinement.

Les Ambassadeus

Between tradition and modernity… Jean-Francois Piege is both a composer and a performer at Les Ambassadeurs, serving up the best of French savoir-faire and the art of living, to which he adds his own personal “art of being”. Jean-Francois Piege has put together a classic French menu that takes a few incursions into contemporary cuisine. Using only the highest quality ingredients and drawing on his unique savoir-faire, he offers “honest” dishes that reflect the changing seasons, and shares his fascination for good food with the guests. The wine steward David Biraud has received a number of awards, and uses his sensitivity to create exciting pairings of dishes and wine. Patrice Willems, the restaurant manager, looks attentively after his guests, to perfect the “haute cuisine” of Jean-François Piege. The work of Jean-Francois Piege reflects his preoccupation with “orchestrating” his cuisine so that it corresponds perfectly with the setting of the restaurant. The hotel’s gastronomic restaurant was given a new look by the Parisian interior designer, Sybille de Margerie. She has infused the former ballroom of the Dukes of Crillonwith a modern warmth, without compromising its splendour. Subtle lighting brings a beautiful glow to the Sienna marble. The restaurant Les Ambassadeurs is closed on Sundays to welcome the Brunch, and also on Mondays at lunchtime.
