This was our first visit to the property, based on a recommendation from a dear friend in Madrid. The property is located adjacent to the Place de la Concorde in a superb location close to the main luxury shops but also many of the key museums. Despite its palace status, it is quite unassuming and is one of the smaller top hotels with 120 rooms and suites. As you enter the grand building, the reception is a discrete room with leather chairs and mahogany desks and you are greeted and welcomed in a very relaxing environment. We were fortunate that the suite was available and whilst the formalities were arranged, the room was ready. As it was our first visit we were given a tour of the hotel and this property feels a little more cosy and in some areas less grand, pompous than other palace properties. The property has several inner courtyards which during the summer provide outdoor dining facilities but, thoughtfully, for the guests they are closed so that it does not become too noisy in the evenings. The courtyards serve the Jardin D’Hiver and also the Nonos restaurant. A quite pleasant feature of the hotel is that there are all ranges of culinary experience ranging from L’Ecrin, their Michelin restaurant, Jardin D’Hiver which has excellent food through to Nonos and finally Butterfly Patisserie. This is quite agreeable as it allows guests to not only have fine dining but also to have more informal dining at the Butterfly Patisserie. The Rooms The hotel, although adjacent to the Place de la Concorde, has most of its rooms situated facing the inner courtyard or a very quiet side street. Each room is decorated individually and even though it is part of the Rosewood, the hotel goes out of its way to ensure there is a little personal touch of authenticity in each of the rooms. In other words, you do not feel that you are part of a chain of hotels. The higher floors have more light and airy experience and each of the rooms has a different décor so if you are a regular visitor you will probably have your favourite. We were fortunate to be upgraded to a suite, which had a lovely marble bathroom, with a strong power shower and a very pleasant separate walk in wardrobe. Quite noteworthy was the use of the luxury hanger maker, Toscanini, which very few hotels make use of. The room was quiet, with a comfortable but firm bed, all the necessary technological arrangements and a separate, but discrete, coffee machine. The suite itself overlooked the inner courtyard on the third floor which by day I could imagine would be slightly noisier during the summer with the atmosphere of the dining rooms on the ground floor. The hotel was clear that these areas are closed in the evening to respect the guests’ privacy and quietness. We are relatively new to the Rosewood Group, but understand that each property applies its own distinctive personal style and based upon our visits to date we very much look forward to our future bookings for the rest of the year. We shall definitely return.

We had the pleasure of enjoying Christmas Tea at the Hotel de Crillon. It was lovely. The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was very festive. We would highly recommend it. Also, their patisserie has yummy and beautiful treats for eat-in or take away.

Hotel de Crillon If we could, we would give Hotel de Crillon 6 stars. Everything was perfect from the moment we arrived. The entire hotel is an architectural and design gem. You have check-in in a private room with the option of a welcome drink. Our room was ready on...

Hotel de Crillon If we could, we would give Hotel de Crillon 6 stars. Everything was perfect from the moment we arrived. The entire hotel is an architectural and design gem. You have check-in in a private room with the option of a welcome drink. Our room was ready on time, beautiful and clean. There is a coffee and tea set, minibar, fruit and sweets in the room. The bathroom had a wide range of toiletries with a very interesting design. We really appreciate the correct size of the bathrobes (smaller sizes) and the Dyson hairdryer. The bathroom has a small TV built into the mirror, so you can watch TV from the bathtub. During our stay, we also visited the wellness area, which has an incredible design. There is a steam sauna, a Finnish sauna, a swimming pool and relaxation chairs. Available is an extended range of toiletries in the dressing room. In the wellness area you will find many snacks in the form of fresh and dried fruit, tea, coffee, cereal bars, biscuits, water and lemonade. There is a staff by the pool who will take care of your comfort. We felt very good and had a great rest. We booked our stay with breakfast, which are in the iconic Jardin d' Hivre restaurant. There is a menu (not a buffet) from which you can choose whatever you like. The menu is extensive, including Benedict eggs, avocado toast, fresh orange juice. This restaurant also serves lunch, afternoon tea and dinner in the form of tapas and desserts (you can read more about Jardin d'Hivre in our next review). During our stay, we also visited the beautiful Bar les Ambassadeurs (you can read more about the Bar in our next review), which belongs to the hotel. You can communicate with the staff via whats app the whole time, the service is very fast and all the employees are perfectly organized, which we have never seen anywhere else in such a form. Thanks for the highest level of care. We will definitely be happy to come back here. More on instagram @larmarluxury.

I went for tea at the Crillon bar, the place is magical, the atmosphere unique, the location in front of the Place de la Concorde, everything is exceptional. The staff are very courteous and pleasant, and the hotel has recently been completely refurbished.

We had a wonderful experience at the hotel. The property was lovely and the staff were very welcoming and made us felt at home. We wanted to particularly mention Emma who checked us in . She was perfect for the job. Right from the start she made us felt at ease, very friendly, smiled genuinely and was so sweet and kind. The time spent with her was one of the best we’ve ever experienced at any high-end hotel. Thanks, Emma! I also wanted to mention Agostin who came running after us and helped with our bags. He was so kind to make sure we were comfortable as soon as we came into the hotel. He was so nice to help us with our bags as soon as we came into the premises. We felt his kindness from the very start. Veronique Tran who comes in every night for the turn-down service made sure our room was replenished and was cleaned. She works hard for her job and it shows. She was wonderful, always smiling and very accommodating. Another young man who made our stay exceptional was Vincent at the breakfast. Every morning we noticed that he was working so hard and we had the pleasure of working with him. He simply epitomized what a wonderful service should be. He went above and beyond to make sure our expectations were met. His service was impeccable and was very accommodating. He made our breakfast experience wonderful. He would be perfect to work as a concierge. His attitude and his excellent service with his genuine smile goes along way. I also wanted to mention Diana at the concierge desk who was very helpful. She managed to make an appointment for me at the Chanel store. And last but not least, the two wonderful women who comes in every morning to clean our room. Unfortunately I did not get their names. Both were wonderful and made our room clean and tidy. They work very hard to make the room spotless and beautiful. The staff at the Crillon are all so wonderful. Service was excellent! The only thing I noticed was that the room were a bit small. Other than that, everything was beautiful!

Paris is one of my favorite cities and I've stayed or visited at most of the 5* hotels. This one, without question, is the happiest---and because of that is my current favorite. The welcome was professional, from the car into a room where we were given two generous glasses of champagne as we checked in. Very Nice! The surprise was that every single person we interacted with had a smile, and it was real. The other very notable feature of this hotel was how it was a very traditional French hotel..but felt casual and comfortable at the same time. The clientele was well-dressed but in a relaxed way and when at breakfast, I asked for ketchup (I'm American) I was offered hot sauce as well---with a smile. Our suite was spacious and more modern, with a lovely view of the courtyard and the team welcomed us with a cake and....more champagne. It was really lovely to have a butler that checked us in and was helpful with recommendations. My absolute favorite feature was the spa--especially the pool. We will be back and if you are reading this review, it means you are considering staying here. 100% pick it.

Food is extraordinary with every detail fantastic. Room service, housekeeping and butler service was on point. Staff was friendly & professional and...

Outstanding 5 star service and accommodations. The service is perfection. The Poete Suite is a dream come true with the scenic Eiffel Tower view and skyline of Paris. Food is extraordinary with every detail fantastic. Room service, housekeeping and butler service was on point. Staff was friendly & professional and they all remembered our names which is a nice touch. Ideal location for walking in and around Paris for dining & shopping!

After having a lovely Christmas tea here in December, we decided this was the place to stay in Paris for our 25th wedding anniversary. And it did not disappoint. From the beautiful decor to the ever-smiling, gracious staff, to the best vanilla bean millefeuille we've ever had, this stay was a treat. The Crillon really knows how to make guests feel taken care of, from the thoughtful amenities in the room to the personalized butler service. And we really appreciated the sweet anniversary wishes that we enjoyed all week. Thank you for a very memorable stay.

We checked into this magnificent property after leaving the Shangri-La due to that hotel actively inviting social influencers into the hotel, disturbing the guests in a profound, unnecessary and gross way. You would never experience something like this at Le Crillon -- it would just be too disgusting for them...

We checked into this magnificent property after leaving the Shangri-La due to that hotel actively inviting social influencers into the hotel, disturbing the guests in a profound, unnecessary and gross way. You would never experience something like this at Le Crillon -- it would just be too disgusting for them to even entertain. After its magnificent renovation -- rebuilding, really -- this property now sits atop the pyramid of uber-luxury hotels anywhere in the world. Inside the magnificent 18th century exterior is a new, but serene and entirely sumptuous home away from home. To a person, the staff is cheerful, helpful, and professional in the specifically perfect manner only the French are able to achieve. I cannot say enough about our experience, and if you are considering the "Palace Hotels" of Paris, my advice is to choose Le Crillon.
