"On a limestone avenue in the 8th arrondissement, a stone's throw from the Arc de Triomphe, the red glass lanterns and Art Deco-style awning at the entrance of Le Royal Monceau - Raffles Paris catch your eyes. Inside, the lobby leads to smaller, cosier spaces like the wood-panelled concierge and an art-focused bookshop, three restaurants, a 99-seat cinema, and a smoking lounge."
"After overhauling the interiors with Phillippe Starck at the helm, it reopened as Le Royal Monceau Raffles Paris in October 2010. The 149 bedrooms and suites, from the smallest "artist rooms" to the apartment-like presidential suites, are appointed with Starck's energetic panache: Murano-glass chandeliers hang over mid-century-modern leather sofas, writing desks made by Philippe Hurel have illustrated maps of Paris on their top, and acoustic guitars stand upright in corners, ready to be strummed."
Le Royal Monceau - Raffles Paris sits on a limestone avenue in the 8th arrondissement, a short walk from the Arc de Triomphe. The entrance features red glass lanterns and an Art Deco-style awning. The lobby opens onto smaller, cosier spaces including a wood-panelled concierge, an art-focused bookshop, three restaurants, a 99-seat cinema, and a smoking lounge. The hotel operates a contemporary art gallery called Art District with its own entrance. Local patrons frequent the ground floor, giving the property a neighbourhood hangout vibe. The hotel reopened in October 2010 after an interior overhaul by Phillippe Starck and offers 149 rooms and suites ranging from "artist rooms" to presidential suites.
