This Haussmann-era palace in a "perfect location" on avenue Montaigne, close to the fashion houses, is "superbe" and has welcomed the Vanderbilts, the Rockefellers, Maurice Chevalier, and Rudolph Valentino as guests. The "over-the-top amazing experience" includes eighteenth-century-style rooms with gilded mirrors and Louis XV moldings on six of the eight stories. The top two floors are done in Art Deco style; the hotel's signature suites come with the use of an Aston Martin. The Alain Ducasse restaurant serves contemporary French, while La Galerie des Gobelins is known for cakes by renowned pastry chef Christophe Michalak. "Every morsel of food here, even the turndown treats, is perfect." Depend on "amazing service and attention to detail" from staff.
