Le Meurice

The Brunei-owned Le Meurice is a five star luxury hotel in Paris's 1st arrondissement, directly across from the Tuileries Garden, on the Rue de Rivoli, between Place de la Concorde and the Musée du Louvre. It spans from the Rue de Rivoli to the Rue du Mont Thabor. The hotel first opened its doors in 1815. It received the "Palace" distinction from the French government in 2011. The Dorchester Collection, a London-based luxury hotel operator, owns and operates Le Meurice. The hotel employs approximately 400 people and includes 160 rooms decorated in the Louis XVI style, with rates starting at $1235 per night.

There are two primary restaurants at Le Meurice. Restaurant le Meurice, which overlooks the Tuileries Garden, was operated by three-Michelin-star chef Yannick Alléno until 2013 when he quit and was replaced by three-Michelin-star chef Alain Ducasse. Restaurant Le Dali is housed within a 145 square meter (1560 square foot) canvas painted by Ara Starck, Philippe Starck's daughter. There's also Bar 228, a cocktail bar featuring leather sofas and dark timber. Le Meurice is one of the oldest hotels in Paris.
