Beyoncé and Jay-Z stayed at Le Meurice in Paris during an April 2011 trip. Contemporary reports describe the couple checking out of the hotel, leaving after approximately a week in the city, and using Le Meurice as their accommodation.
Celebrity Hotels classifies this as a verified stay with evidence grade B. The evidence names both Beyoncé and Jay-Z and the exact hotel directly. It does not establish a public guest folio, precise arrival and departure times, charged nights, a confirmed suite category, the amount paid, or who booked the accommodation.
The short answer
BET reported on April 25, 2011 that Beyoncé and Jay-Z had checked out of a suite at Hotel Le Meurice before Easter brunch in Paris. The next day, Purepeople described the couple leaving their hotel, Le Meurice, after a week in Paris and published dated departure images.
Forbes Travel Guide independently includes Beyoncé and Jay-Z among the accomplished artists who have stayed at Le Meurice. Together, these accounts establish accommodation rather than a restaurant visit, recording session, photo shoot, or brief appearance outside the building.
What the departure reporting proves
The BET account uses checkout language and identifies Hotel Le Meurice. That is stronger than a photograph of somebody near a hotel entrance because it describes the end of an accommodation stay. Purepeople's report adds a date, April 26, and says the couple left Paris after a week spent at Le Meurice.
The published images are not reproduced here because their reuse rights have not been established. Their captions and the accompanying report can be inspected on the source page. The visual record supports the exact-property identification, while the written reports supply the relationship type.
Which Le Meurice is this?
The verified property is Le Meurice at 228 rue de Rivoli in Paris, opposite the Tuileries Garden. Forbes Travel Guide describes the same first-arrondissement palace and identifies Beyoncé and Jay-Z as former guests.
The existing Celebrity Hotels record, Paris coordinates, and Booking.com target resolve to that rue de Rivoli property. It is not Hôtel Meurice in another city, Hôtel Costes, the Ritz Paris, or another Dorchester Collection hotel. Reports about the couple dining, recording, or appearing elsewhere in Paris are not transferred to this hotel.
The April 2011 context
The sources place the stay in the second half of April 2011. BET published its checkout account on April 25, and Purepeople documented the couple's departure from Paris on April 26 after describing roughly a week at the hotel.
That supports an approximately week-long context, but Celebrity Hotels does not convert the phrase into exact check-in and checkout dates. Travel days, partial days, bookings made under another name, or changes of room are not public. The verified minimum is a stay at Le Meurice during the April 2011 trip.
Was it a $20,000 suite?
BET characterized the accommodation as a luxury suite and reported a headline nightly figure. Other retellings repeated similar pricing. No invoice, rate confirmation, room assignment, complimentary-stay disclosure, or payer record appears in the reviewed material.
Hotel rates vary by date, suite category, taxes, services, negotiated terms, and currency conversion. The price is therefore not part of the verified verdict. The sources prove accommodation without proving what the couple paid or which modern suite corresponds to the room used in 2011.
What the evidence establishes
The evidence establishes that Beyoncé and Jay-Z stayed at Le Meurice during their April 2011 Paris trip. Contemporary coverage uses checkout and hotel-stay language, and a separate professional hotel guide identifies both as Le Meurice guests.
The evidence also distinguishes the accommodation from other activities during the trip. Reports mention restaurants, fashion photography, and music work elsewhere in Paris, but those do not change the hotel identity established by the checkout accounts.
What remains uncertain
Exact arrival and departure times, charged nights, room changes, suite name, nightly rate, total bill, payer, booking channel, and commercial arrangements are not public. The evidence does not establish whether either guest stayed at Le Meurice during every later Paris visit.
Both Beyoncé and Jay-Z are named directly throughout the source record. This revision therefore projects the same exact-property stay evidence to both existing celebrity entities; it does not create a relationship by association.
Why this receives grade B
Grade B requires multiple independent professional publishers and a direct basis. BET describes checkout from Hotel Le Meurice, Purepeople dates and documents the departure after the Paris stay, and Forbes Travel Guide independently lists Beyoncé and Jay-Z among guests who stayed at the property.
The grade applies to the hotel-level stay in April 2011. It does not verify the room, rate, exact duration, payment, or a continuing preference.
Evidence verdict
Verified: Beyoncé and Jay-Z stayed at Le Meurice in Paris during April 2011.
Relationship type: Stay.
Context: A Paris trip reported as lasting approximately one week.
Not verified: Exact dates, charged nights, suite category, rate, total bill, payer, booking arrangements, or later stays.
The result is a well-supported celebrity-hotel combination based on dated checkout reporting and exact property identity.
