Hôtel Plaza Athénée

What do Christian Dior, Marlene Dietrich and the French actor Jean Gabin have in common? Correct: they all have or had a deep connection to the legendary Hôtel Plaza Athénée in Paris. Christian Dior not only named his collections after the Plaza Athènèe, his first fashion show also took place in the pompous hotel premises. Marlene Dietrich lived out her romance with Jean Gabin in style here. The Plaza Athénée also achieved worldwide fame as an exclusive setting in the films "Sex and the City" and "The Devil Wears Prada". At the hotel's own restaurant by Alain Ducasse, which boasts an incredible three Michelin stars, you can experience haute cuisine at its finest. The Plaza Athénée's location on Avenue Montaigne is also unbeatable, with luxury fashion boutiques such as Christian Dior (what a coincidence!) just a few steps away. 154 magnificent rooms and 54 even more exquisite suites shine in typical French noblesse. The legendary views from the hotel rooms are considered by many to be among the best in the city, and have been for over a hundred years.
