    Lovely hotel! Well worth the years spent on the remodeling. I think we need to put on our ritzy clothes and shashay into the bar for a little libation.

    Interesting to see your photos after reading/seeing mixed reviews of the renovation. I’m just glad the scaffolding/’wrapping’ outside is gone!

    Have fun and as always merci for sharing.

      Well, now you have my curiosity aroused. What did the reviews say?

        Hi again! One FB friend said (my paraphrase) seemed too much like ‘a Marriott’ now with more generic luxury vs. unique/quirky/French … and a food writer who had his first drink there also indicated it ‘wasn’t the old Crillon’ and he would write more soon (hasn’t yet as far as I know).

        The bar and courtyard(s) look lovely to me, from everyone’s photos. This piece in the UK Telegraph says one challenge for the Crillon will be its new/recently-reopened competitors! I guess the location is rather unbeatable … can imagine coming out onto the Place de la Concorde at night …

        Look forward to your ‘review’ if you do sashay in for a little libation! 🙂

    The hotel is truly the epitome of elegance, with a perfect blend of old and new design and furnishings. Every detail is perfect! Life styles of the rich and famous for sure.

    Hi Linda
    Great post!
    I stayed at the Hotel de Crillon twice, once for my 40th birthday and then a couple of years later. It was magnificent then! it looks awesome now. Major ambition to stay again, perhaps as part of a press trip for my blog, who knows!
    Loving your daily posts on Paris. My blog is also Paris and London based, I live in London 🙂
