Hôtel de Crillon, a Rosewood Hotel, has reopened after an extensive four-year restoration. Dating back to the 18th century, the luxury hotel has been reborn as a luxury hotel for 21st-century travelers. The updated design of the 78-room Parisian hotel reflects the location’s rich history and culture. Owner representatives Ramzi Wakim and Laurent Dusonchet from Avangard Advisory, together with a handpicked project management team, orchestrated the renovation.
Architect Richard Martinet from Affine Design led the restoration of the historic property, including the landmark façade and grand reception rooms on the second floor, which are all classified heritage landmarks. For the interiors, artistic director Aline Asmar d’Amman of Culture in Architecture assembled a team of Paris-based designers, including Tristan Auer, Chahan Minassian, and Cyril Vergniol to create a blend of fresh, contemporary twists with traditional elements, such as the amethyst chandeliers and gold and crystal Baccarat decanters.
Guestrooms have a warm residential feel with bespoke furnishings, antiques, and carefully selected objets d’art. The hotel features 10 signature suites, including the Louis XV suite with a private terrace that looks out onto Place de la Concorde with direct views of the Eiffel Tower and Grand Palais; and the Marie Antoinette suite that reflects a feminine spirit with pearl-gray décor and touches of rosy pink. Nestled beneath the Crillon’s mansard roof, the Ateliers d’Artistes are three new cozy suites that pay tribute to the bohemian poets and painters.
Fashion designer Karl Lagerfield created two suites on Place de la Concorde, together called Les Grands Appartements, which convey his personal vision of French chic and modernity, while landscape architect Louis Benech designed a lush backdrop to showcase the Parisian haven.
Hôtel de Crillon’s F&B options include L’Ecrin is Hôtel de Crillon’s gastronomic restaurant; warm and convivial Brasserie d’Aumont; tea and pastry eatery Jardin d’Hiver; the 60-seat bar Les Ambassadeurs; and the striking yet intimate La Cave.
