Hôtel de Crillon, created in 1907, is
one of the oldest luxury hotels in Paris,
along with Le Meurice and le Ritz. On
July 5, 2017, its doors reopened once
again following 4 years of renovation
work.
France is a nation whose luxury hotels
have gone on to inspire the creation
of hotels in the rest of the world. We
are fortunate to have some majestic
hotels that, for the last century, has
welcomed the world by creating a
vision about welcoming one’s guests.
This is what I call the French art of
welcoming. Our culture, our history,
and our expertise allow us to create
a uniquely singular experience in the
world of luxury hotels. Louis XIV was
the greatest contributor to this art.
At Versailles, excellence was the order
of the day; only the most beautiful
things were brought together in the
name of the King. France and its art
of welcoming made a name for itself
throughout during this era and the
ones that followed.
The same is true for Palaces; these
establishments strive to bring together
the best of everything. At any rate,
this is the objective for most of them.
A Palace serves as a true display
case for France as much in terms of
restaurant quality as in the ensemble
of the products placed before the
client in his journey within a hotel. It is
also an important site of creation that
welcomes many artists whose works
go on to live for many years within the
establishment. For myself personally,
a Palace is above all a place that knows
how to evolve, that knows how to
reinterpret the experience it will share
with its clients over time and across its
renovations, to surprise and astonish
them. The hotel must anticipate the
demands of its clients and offer them
a multitude of services. The excellence
of the service is measured by the
quality of the personnel as adapted
to their knowledge of their client, as
well as by the capacity to work in a
team that can demonstrate a variety of
talents.
AN ESTABLISHMENT MARKED
BY HISTORY
The Crillon is deeply connected to
the history of France and has thus
drawn from it in its various stages
of renovation. The hotel is located
on Place de la Concorde, which has
changed its name over the course of
French history, from Place Louis XV,
Place de la Révolution, Place de la
Charte, etc…
Indeed, it was under Louis XV that
this square was built and created
in 1772, in an effort to breathe
new life into the city. It was a royal
site. In fact, the current site of the
hotel today was designed originally
to house the Hôtel de la Monnaie
(located today on Quai Conti) but
ultimately, the building enclosed
within the façade designed by
Jacques-Ange Gabriel was given
up for sale to private individuals
for the construction of mansions.
