"Known as “Lulu” to locals, this Left Bank grande dame once hosted artists and performers like Pablo Picasso and Josephine Baker, and today blends art deco glamour with intellectual cool." - Ty Gaskins

"On the Left Bank in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the Mandarin Oriental Lutetia is the only hotel with a Palace distinction (France’s highest designation above five stars) south of the River Seine. Built in 1910 in the art nouveau style, the property has hosted everyone from Pablo Picasso and Ernest Hemingway to Josephine Baker, who used it as her Parisian pied-à-terre. It was beautifully refreshed by architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte in recent years, with calming navy and beige tones and plenty of natural light." - Lindsey Tramuta

"As the Left Bank’s grande dame since 1910, the hotel blends an Art Nouveau façade with a brasserie that’s one of the best people‑watching spots from its outdoor terrace; Bar Joséphine serves excellent cocktails beneath an original frescoed ceiling, and there’s a subterranean spa and pool for guest wellness." - The MICHELIN Guide

"At the Mandarin Oriental Lutetia Paris, celebrating its 115th anniversary, pastry chef Nicolas Guercio reimagined the traditional yule log as a copper‑toned white‑chocolate dome emblazoned with lithophane motifs of Paris, perched on a grapefruit biscuit infused with flavors like Nepalese black tea and topped with smooth Tahitian vanilla mousse." - Lane Nieset

"Housed in a Belle Époque grande dame opened in 1910 to serve affluent shoppers arriving via Gare d'Orsay, the Mandarin Oriental Lutetia now offers 184 richly ornate guest rooms and suites, a spa with a pool and multiple restaurants, combining historical grandeur with the full-service comforts of a Left Bank palace." - Annick Weber
