A truly Parisian, twenty-first century luxury hotel
Mandarin Oriental, Paris is Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group's first address in France, at the heart of this fashion capital and with the Garnier Opera, Tuileries Gardens and the Louvre all close by.  Mandarin Oriental, Paris is a modern hotel housed inside an historic Art Deco building that comes alive with unique character.  Everything about this elegant hotel says ‘Paris’, from its sense of style to the immediate sense of belonging, and of luxury to be enjoyed.  Comfort meets modern in a hotel that is infused with a subtle air of exoticism and romance, making every stay a singular experience.

The hotel brings together the foremost international names in architecture and design.  The architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte has supervised renovation of the building, its facade and patio, in consultation with landscape design agency Neveux-Rouyer.  Sybille de Margerie of SM Design imagined the interior design and decoration of the rooms, suites, Spa and public spaces while Agence Jouin-Manku lent its talent to the bar and restaurants.

Mandarin Oriental, Paris encompasses the essence of Paris, providing an oasis of gentle tranquillity, a cocoon of luxury and sensual delights.

A homage to the "Eternel Féminin"
The style of Mandarin Oriental, Paris takes inspiration from the richness, modernity and creativity of the 1930s and Art Deco, as well as from the hallmarks of luxury and Parisian fashion.  The 1930s ushered in elegantly simple styles for women in softly draped fabrics, trimmed with jewels and lace.  Madeleine Vionnet, Gabrielle Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli are among the iconic women who left their mark on the era.  Fashion photography also saw daylight in the 1930s, in particular that of Man Ray.  The hotel is home to works by this eternal admirer of the female form.  His sensual photographs of his companion, the stunning Kiki de Montparnasse, are ingrained in our mind.

Mandarin Oriental, Paris revisits the aesthetic of this abundantly creative era and pays tribute to muses past and present with its truly feminine, romantic mood, its subtle shades and textures, and delicate details… an invitation to sensual pleasure.

Paris has countless surprises in store…
Only when visitors step through the entrance porch and into the majestic lobby do they discover the true magic of Mandarin Oriental, Paris.  A shimmering jewel of stone, lacquer and gold leaf.  Noble materials in a couture style; bold colours in a subtle harmony of grey, plum, rose, mauve and ecru.  A green haven where Nature penetrates the interior, and butterflies flutter and perch.  Some are embroidered on cushions, or made from crystal and ceramic in an installation by the sculptor Marcello Lo Giudice.  Others are printed or painted, embodying Nature's delicate enchantment which floats in the air.  In her search for a striking work that would fit within the hotel, Sybille de Margerie turned to the artist Nathalie Decoster, who has imagined Air, a sculpture that suspends fragile liberty from a thread.

The 138 luxurious rooms and suites at Mandarin Oriental, Paris are among the most spacious in Paris.  Highlights of the hotel include a tree-planted indoor garden, a choice of two restaurants, a bar and a Cake Shop under Executive Chef Thierry Marx.  Refined, state-of-the-art amenities welcome meetings and private events.  The peaceful setting of the Spa promotes well-being and relaxation through holistic treatments.  Trained therapists perform Mandarin Oriental's exclusive well-being, beauty and massage programmes.  The Spa, which is open to both in-house and non in-house guests, has seven private suites, each equipped for heat and water treatments.  A large indoor pool and fitness centre complete the Spa services.
