Plaza Athénée: is this opulent grand dame still Paris's best hotel?

Hotel Plaza Athénée is a lesson in OTT luxury and has a storied history of attracting heads of state, A-list celebrities, fashion royalty and le beau monde ever since it opened in 1913. It is also well-known for serving as the backdrop for some of TV’s most fashionable shows.

The grand dame of Paris hotels, it is situated on the prestigious tree-lined Avenue Montaigne, which is home to some of fashion’s most iconic brands. It is designated a “Palace” hotel, the French Government’s classification for hotels that are beyond five-star, with its exemplary and efficient service, and a concierge team capable of meeting just about any request.
