There’s also a small bar on the first floor that serves craft cocktails and France staples like champagne and Bordeaux wines. The breakfast spread is extensive and includes everything from freshly squeezed orange juice and deliciously sugary waffles to smoked salmon and gourmet cheeses. In terms of the food, I was pleasantly surprised. Robes come in each room and while the doors to the balcony are secured for safety reasons, you can open them enough to feel a cool breeze and snap some photos. There was artwork on the walls and the bathroom had sleek black and white tiling along with heated floors. My room was part of the hotel’s recent renovation and felt very spacious. As a popular spot for meetings, there is a good mix of locals and guests here throughout the day. Everything from the plush furniture to the sparkling chandeliers overhead give off a luxurious feel while still maintaining a warm atmosphere. Le Grand Salon is one of the most impressive rooms in the hotel. From the moment you walk in, it’s very obvious that you are in Paris and in the heart of the city. Despite being a global chain hotel brand, I was immediately struck by how unique this property feels. But you won’t be spending much time here, as the action happens in the grand salon.ĭuring my recent trip to Paris, I stayed at the Hilton Paris Opera hotel for three nights. With few heritage elements left to preserve, the sense of place is woven in with custom etchings of iconic Paris scenes hung behind each bed. Here it incorporates warm accent colors and textiles.
The style in each of the rooms breaks with the traditional stark-white modern codes of most business hotels.
Fortunately, the bar takes pride of place among them, making it the ideal spot to start your stay with a cocktail or glass of wine. Among the restored, original elements, the most awe-inspiring are the Corinthian columns, chandeliers, balustrades, hand-painted frescoes, and marble and mosaic tiling.
Formerly the Grand Hotel Terminus and the Concorde Opéra Paris, the property’s landmark status-with its Haussmannian facade and elegant public spaces-demanded it be painstakingly preserved. After a $50 million design overhaul, the 125-year-old hotel, made for the 1889 World’s Fair, has been revived to its 19th-century splendor with a contemporary twist. Hilton’s reentry into the heart of Paris is nothing short of majestic.
