Le Pavillon de la Reine, has original 17th-century Versailles parquet floors, a chandelier commissioned from designer Alexander Logé exclusively for the suite, and an antique fireplace dating back more than 400 years.

Plaza Athénée is known by the red window awnings and matching flowers blooming on its Art Nouveau balconies.

Mandarin Oriental is an ultramodern temple of style on the rue St-Honoré.

You will find a private bar, study, kitchen, and gym.
