In the 1st arrondissement amid the handsome arcades of rue de Rivoli, close to Tuileries and Concorde Métro stations.

Close by, you'll find the fashion-filled shops of rue Saint Honoré, the masterpiece-packed Musée du Louvre, the très élegant Palais Royal and, just across the river, the mighty Musée d'Orsay.

Think 18th-century elegance with a contemporary verve, which is most obvious in the Philippe Starck-designed public areas that nod playfully to the surreal world of Salvador Dalí, a regular guest for over 30 years. Sparkling chandeliers, gold-framed paintings and abundant mirrors are paired with theatrical flourishes and stimulating artworks to set a light and entertaining tone.
