Grand Hotel du Palais Royal

A 5-star luxury hotel in the heart of Paris, this hotel has the added advantage of being nestled up against the Palais Royal. When celebrated interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon refurbished it, he preserved the quintessence of its Parisian chic by designing around the original forged iron staircase while preserving the historical heritage architecture and building façade. The top-floor rooms' and suites' panoramic views sweep across the city from the Sacre-Cœur to the Eiffel Tower. Noble décor materials include Calacatta marble for the bathrooms, Tai Ping rugs, Saarinen chairs and tables by Knoll and Zuber wall-coverings. Children will delight in their Le Petit Prince toy chest, treats and bathroom amenities. Mom and dad will appreciate the kids' bathrobes and slippers provided, too. And being just across the street from both the Palais Royal and the Louvre means there's more family activities within arm's reach than you could fit into a lifetime.
