Hôtel de Crillon, Paris: Rates, Suites & How to Book
Louis XV commissioned the façade; Lagerfeld designed two of the suites. The most historic address in Paris hotellerie.

The Crillon's building predates every rival by a century-plus: commissioned by Louis XV in 1758, it watched the Revolution from the best seats on Place de la Concorde. After a four-year, ground-up restoration it reopened in 2017 under Rosewood and holds France's official "Palace" distinction. Two of its grand suites were designed by Karl Lagerfeld — the only hotel rooms he ever did.
It is the most *Parisian* of the palace hotels: Les Ambassadeurs (the former ballroom, now the bar), the butler service attached to every suite, the swimming pool's gold-leaf mosaics. Entry rooms run ~€1,200–2,000; the courtyard-facing categories are the quiet pick, the Concorde-facing suites the theatre.
Booking the Crillon Well
- Courtyard rooms for sleep; Concorde-view suites for the postcard — the square is bright and alive until late.
- Fashion weeks (late Feb/early Mar, late Sep/early Oct) sell the hotel out entirely — book around them unless you're attending.
- A Rosewood Elite-grade booking adds breakfast for two, ~€100 credit and upgrade priority at the same rate as direct.
- The Crillon vs the George V: history and intimacy here, service machine and dining there. Many clients split a stay.
