The neighborhood

See the sights where glamour resides. The most glamorous arrondissement in all of Paris — the 8th Arrondissement — is where you want to be without a doubt. The most celebrated of the Paris districts, life here is decidedly more sophisticated, more spectacular, more sublime. It is the seat of power, the headquarters of wealth, commerce, sophistication, culture, gastronomy, and architecture — need we say more?

Place de la Madeleine

Of course we are partial to The Place de la Madeleine. Who wouldn’t be? It is not only ground zero for the Maison Fauchon, but it is, actually, the heart of Paris.

Place de la Concorde

Want to take a step back in time and walk in the footsteps of Parisian history? We suggest a visit to The Place de la Concorde, an evocative, haunting memorial to those who have gone before.

Here’s the one word you need to associate with The Place Vendôme: jewelry.

Avenue des Champs-Elysées

Within walking distance of the hotel, you can easily stroll the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, which has been labeled “the most beautiful avenue in the world.”

Tuileries Garden

A public garden residing between The Louvre Museum and the Place de la Concorde in the 1st arrondissement of Paris.

Musée des Arts Décoratifs

Located inside a part of The Louvre Museum is the Musée des Arts Décoratifs (decorative arts).

If you visit just one museum in Paris during your stay here, we recommend The Louvre. The largest museum in the city — as well as the world — the revered halls of the Louvre and its iconic IM Pei glass pyramid are truly legendary.

Galerie du Jeu de Paume

The Galerie du Jeu de Paume is a major reference point for contemporary photography, video art, and all forms of image diffusion.

Musée de l'Orangerie

Situated in The Tuileries Garden, The Musée de l’Orangerie is housed in an old orangery, built in 1852 and transformed into a museum in 1921.

Another spot for Impressionist fans is The Musée d’Orsay, which has the largest collection of French Impressionist paintings in the world.

Experience one of Paris’ most amazing architectural designs at The Grand Palais.

Here’s what you want to take note of at the remarkable Petit Palais: the entrance gate, the painted ceilings, and the stained-glass windows.

Perfume Museums

What is a visit to Paris without an opportunity to learn more about the history of perfume? There are two perfume museums within easy access of the hotel.

Another icon of Paris department store shopping is Printemps on boulevard Haussmann.

Galeries Lafayette

Shopping at the Galeries Lafayette is magical in so many ways.

Shopping at Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré

While the rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré is relatively narrow and nondescript — especially in comparison to Avenue des Champs Élysées — it is actually one of the most luxurious and fashionable streets in the world.

Shopping at Rue Saint-Honoré

If you are venturing to the rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré for shopping, be sure not to miss a stroll to this extension of the rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré and extending to the Palais Royal.

Shopping at Place Vendôme

Did someone say jewelry?

For a different type of shopping in Paris — one that comes with the thrill of the bid — you must plan a visit to Artcurial.

Paris’ Palais Garnier is most commonly known as the Paris Opera, and is generally considered to be one of the most important buildings in the city.

Comédie Française

Performances at this venue are both classical and contemporary with very high-quality daring staging.
