The Dorchester Collection’s Le Meurice Hotel has revealed the fresh look of their 29 newly-restored rooms and suites, which includes an exquisite penthouse suite.  These renovations spark a new chapter in the hotel’s rich history, which remains inspired by its artists and thinkers.

Dating back to 1835, this one-of-a-kind venue embodies the perfect French palace hotel. Blending 18th-century opulence with contemporary chic, Le Meurice has always and continues to be a living and ever-changing canvas. Their recent renovations are no different.

A total of 29 rooms and suites from the third to the sixth floor, all which boast exceptional panoramic views of their Parisian surrounds, have been artfully restored. Charles Jouffre, Le Meurice’s interior designer of ten years and creator of the sumptuous drapes at the Opera Garnier, invited two young designers, Margaux Lally and Luc Berger of interior design studio Lally & Berger, to mastermind the new vision. Known for their great passion for French craftsmanship, the duo has already created the hotel’s sublime Pompadour Suite, which is as avant-garde and beautiful as the Marquise de Pompadour herself.

The latest rooms and suites offer a completely fresh perspective and are a celebration of Le Meurice’s true spirit. The designers considered what a modern-day Versailles would look like if it was built now and used this as their underlying theme. Bringing with them a certain ‘Je ne sais quoi’ that’s both elegant and audacious, the designers have created a series of lighter and brighter spaces, decorated with a tactile array of the finest French fabrics including silk, damask and velvet, alongside bespoke furniture and well-thought-out artworks relating to the history of Paris and Le Meurice.

All of the newly-restored suites give you the whole of Paris within one enchanted gaze. Each enjoys its own unique view out across the world-famous and incredibly beautiful Tuileries Garden, the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Les Invalides, Arc de Triomphe and beyond. You’ll be in no doubt that you’re in the first district of the City of Light, as day turns to night and the landmarks are lit up before your very eyes.

“Our aim was to stay true to the spirit of 18th-century French design and the rich history of Le Meurice. We wanted an elegant look with just the right touch of modernity to appeal to today’s travelers. The project was guided by the idea of luxurious comfort and a sense of wellbeing, paired with intuitive technology, authentic art and a play of light with shimmering fabrics. We invite guests to enjoy all these exceptional details and take a fresh look at nearly 200 years of history,” says Franka Holtmann, Le Meurice’s General Manager.

The Belle Etoile Suite is the cherry on top of this divine renovation.  True to her name, this seventh-floor penthouse suite is quite simply spectacular. Crowning the famous Mansard roof, this is a beacon of elegance from where the 360° view of Paris becomes an eternal memory. Delicate shades of bronze and gold, mixed with the subtle patina of lightly-aged oak, play out in this stunning suite. The lavish furnishings entice you further, all courtesy of the prestigious Jouffre Ateliers Créatifs. Two unique artworks by Carole Benzaken, presented by Gallery Nathalie Obadia, lend an extra layer of sophistication. Entertain up to ten people in the elegant dining area, socialise in the cinema-style sitting room and relax in the majestic marble bathroom overlooking the Sacré Coeur in Montmartre.

Another highlight that sets the Belle Etoile Suite apart is the landscaped terrace, designed Pierre Alexandre Risser to mirror the Tuileries Gardens. Where else can you enjoy an exclusive ‘garden in the sky’ with all the major Parisian landmarks at your feet? Together the suite and garden cover an impressive 620m²/6,996ft², making it one of the largest in Paris.

Le Meurice, whose scene is set by an enviable location in the heart of Paris, opposite the world-famous Tuileries Garden and overlooking all the major city landmarks, is as spectacular as ever with its newly revived rooms and suites. Step inside and discover the many reasons why this has long been the chosen place for great artists and thinkers, from Salvador Dali and Pablo Picasso to Woody Allen and Jay-Z.

Thus, it is no surprise that art is a universal language at Le Meurice – something that sparks interest at every turn. Wit and charm are captured in the eye-catching the hotel’s interiors, conceived by Philippe Starck and Charles Jouffre. Cuisine takes an artful turn too in the form of a two Michelin-starred Alain Ducasse restaurant and the ‘World’s Best Pastry Chef’, Cedric Grolet.
