Since 1913, Hôtel Plaza Athénée has been the Parisian address for the world’s elite—a “Palace”-designated icon on Avenue Montaigne, just steps from the Eiffel Tower, the Seine, and the Champs-Élysées. Its 154 rooms and 54 suites, in classic or Art Deco style, blend Parisian glamour with modern comfort, many offering postcard-worthy city views. The hotel’s historic bond with the House of Dior lives on through the luxurious Dior Spa, while Chef Jean Imbert leads an exceptional culinary lineup, from a Michelin-starred restaurant to the chic Relais Plaza and the stylish cocktail bar. In summer, guests unwind on the hotel’s leafy terraces, and in winter, the Cour Jardin transforms into a fairy-tale ice rink—capturing the timeless magic of Paris.
