Hotel de Crillon, a Rosewood Hotel

Located on the historic Place de la Concorde, the Hotel de Crillon enters its second century as the Paris hotel of choice for visiting royalty, diplomats, and celebrities. Built as a private mansion in the mid-1700s, this landmark property features 147 luxury guest rooms and suites individually decorated in Louis XV style with Carrara marble baths, work desk, bathrobe and slippers, telephone with voicemail, and complimentary wireless Internet. Little wonder Travel + Leisure ranked Hotel de Crillon No. 19 on its “World's Best Hotels 2010.”

The Hotel de Crillon offers an extraordinary setting for business meetings and corporate events with seven majestic meeting rooms for groups from 10 to 350, including three named as Historical Monuments. Incentives include the classic French cuisine at Les Ambassadeurs.

Editor's Note: The property will be closed beginning in fall 2012 for a comprehensive two-year renovation, expected to add a luxury spa and more event space.
