241 Presidential Suite LE ROYAL MONCEAU, RAFFLES PARIS 8TH ARRONDISSEMENT

In a completely renovated historic building, designer extraordinaire Philippe Starck brought a modern version of classic French style to life. Beautiful moldings, details and colors remain, but are pared down for today’s tastes. The dreamy decor features shades of pink, purple, cream and gray, which he keeps from becoming too precious with mirrors and artwork that are stacked against the walls, rather than hung, for an irreverent touch. Art is important to the hotel’s design, and to guests’ experiences. It has the city’s first art concierge, who can arrange private viewings in galleries and museums citywide, as well as curating on-site exhibits and a selection of in-suite coffee-table books. In 241 Presidential Suite, Starck fulfills your fantasies of the perfect modern French apartment. It has a private elevator, which offers direct access to both the suite and to the SpaMy Blend by Clarins, where you can enjoy unlimited access to its facilities. Well suited for long stays, it has two seating areas in the spacious living room; three bedrooms, including the master bedroom with a high, pink-upholstered headboard; sitting room with large television; fully equipped kitchen; and mirrored dining room for eight. L’Art de Vivre If you’ve had enough of art and history, turn to one of France’s other fine exports: film. Rent out the hotel’s 99-seat cinema and host a private screening with champagne and caramelized popcorn. Watch an iconic movie, whether it’s a classic like Les Quatre Cents Coups , an adorable romp through the city with Amélie or laugh through Le Dîner des Cons , a hysterical satire à la française.
