Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris

1 / 10

The takeaway

Choose it for a central Paris stay where Philippe Starck’s design and an unusually substantial in-hotel art program share billing with the city’s landmarks.

About the hotel

Founded in 1928 and reopened in 2010 after a two-year transformation by Philippe Starck, Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris gives its Avenue Hoche address an unusually pronounced cultural focus. The 149-room-and-suite hotel is close to the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs-Élysées and Parc Monceau. Art is part of the visit, not just the décor: guests find a gallery, an art bookstore and a 99-seat cinema alongside the hotel’s restaurants and spa.

Choose it if

You want the Arc de Triomphe and Champs-Élysées close by, with Parc Monceau also nearby.
You would use an on-site gallery, art bookstore, and 99-seat cinema rather than treating the hotel as just a place to sleep.
You want several dining options and an on-site spa and indoor pool as part of a central Paris stay.

Skip it if

You prefer a hotel whose interiors preserve a more conventional, untouched historic style; this one was extensively reinterpreted by Philippe Starck.
You want a stay away from central Paris landmarks: the hotel is close to the Arc de Triomphe and Champs-Élysées.

Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris

Paris, France

CityHistoric

Built in 1928 and operating as a Four Seasons hotel since 1999, this Art Deco landmark stands in Paris’s 8th-arrondissement Golden Triangle. A 2025 renewal recast its rooms as residential-style Paris apartments, pairing Louis XVI-style furnishings and 19th-century art with contemporary details. Three restaurants, a marble courtyard and a spa with an indoor pool bring dining and downtime inside; outside, the surrounding fashion avenues and central Paris sights make walking a natural part of the stay.

Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo

Monaco, Monaco

CityHistoric

On Monaco’s Place du Casino, Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo puts guests in the middle of the principality’s grand public stage: the casino square, its event calendar and a steady sweep of city life. The Belle Époque palace dates to 1864 and now has 206 rooms, including suites; its restaurant roster includes Le Louis XV–Alain Ducasse and Le Grill, while historic wine cellars add a distinctive layer to the stay. The appeal is as much the address and its spectacle as the hotel itself.

The Ritz-Carlton, Montréal

Montreal, Canada

CityHistoric

Opened in 1912, The Ritz-Carlton, Montréal occupies a landmark building on downtown Sherbrooke Street, in the Golden Square Mile near McGill University. Its character comes from the contrast between historic façades and Adam-style interiors and a later, contemporary addition. The hotel’s French restaurant, Maison Boulud, and the Palm Court give the property a dining identity rooted in local ingredients and a long-running afternoon-tea tradition.
