Royal Monceau, hotel in France
The Royal Monceau is an Art Deco hotel in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, designed with clean lines and geometric shapes. Its interiors blend contemporary design with artworks, including Murano glass chandeliers, vintage furniture, and rotating gallery exhibitions, while multiple restaurants like Matsuhisa and Il Carpaccio serve different cuisines.
The hotel was founded in 1928 and served as a gathering place for writers, artists, and important figures such as Josephine Baker and Walt Disney. After closing in 2008, it underwent a complete renovation by designer Philippe Starck and reopened in 2010 with a focus on modern design and art.
The Royal Monceau takes its name from the nearby Parc Monceau and reflects the artistic spirit of the neighborhood. The hotel functions as a gathering place where Parisians and visitors meet to enjoy art exhibitions, dine, or spend time together in its bars and shared spaces.
The hotel sits in a quiet location near the Arc de Triomphe and Champs-Élysées, making it easy to reach many Paris sights on foot. It offers accessible rooms for guests with reduced mobility, provides free bicycles to explore the area, and has elevators to all parts of the building including the cinema and restaurants.
The hotel operates its own art gallery called The Art District, hosting several exhibitions annually that often feature emerging artists or special collections. Visitors can view art in different forms and even purchase works on display within the gallery space.
