"Overlooking the Place de la Concorde, I was struck by this Louis XV icon’s history and careful restoration: a landmark since 1909 and once the Duke de Crillon’s residence, it reopened in 2017 as a Rosewood property after a four-year transformation that preserved staircase, mirrors, and heritage salons while imbuing a warm, residential feel. The 124 guest rooms come with butler service, salon-level hair dryers, and custom furnishings; two Karl Lagerfeld–designed Les Grands Appartements and other suites offer brocade wingback chairs, marble fireplaces, and glimpses of the Eiffel Tower from select suites. On-site highlights include Paul Pairet’s first French project, the Sense spa with Sisley and Maison Caulières treatments and a David Lucas hair salon, monthly workshops with local experts, and a subterranean, gold-accented skylit pool not to be missed." - Mary Winston Nicklin, Lindsey Tramuta
