InterContinental Paris Avenue Marceau Opens
December 18, 2009
InterContinental Paris Avenue Marceau was until recently the Crowne Plaza Paris Champs-Élysées. The 55-room hotel, which opened in 2008, is located in three heritage buildings from different periods in Paris's history and overlooks a central courtyard. It houses two penthouse suites, including a terrace suite with a private roof patio looking onto the Eiffel Tower. The hotel also has a conservatory restaurant, Le M64, opening onto the courtyard and offers outdoor seating in the summer months. Chef Romain Marzet was previously the first assistant chef at the George V hotel in Paris.
Designed by Bruno Borrione, part of Philippe Starck's team, the hotel is a mix of French classical and urban contemporary design, combining classically inspired features such as Venetian Renaissance frescos with modern furniture and décor. Each bedroom offers luxurious Egyptian cotton bedding made by Missoni and Kenzo as well as Hermes bathroom products. All of the suites are equipped with Bang & Olufsen sound systems and Nespresso coffee machines. Other facilities include meeting suites accessible through a separate entrance as well as a 24-hour gym.
The hotel will complement the existing InterContinental Paris Le Grand Hôtel, a historic building originally inaugurated by Empress Eugenie in 1862 and reopened in 2003 following a multi-million Euro restoration.
"Travelers from around the world affectionately refer to the InterContinental Paris Le Grand as the 'grand palais' among Paris' luxury hotels. With the opening of InterContinental Paris Avenue Marceau, we now have a charming petit palais located in another one of the capital's most desirable addresses," comments Didier Boidin, InterContinental Hotels Groups (IHG) Vice President of Operations for France.
Boidin adds: "Visitors to the capital of lights and fashion now have a choice of either the Opera view from InterContinental Paris Le Grand, or the Arc de Triomphe view from InterContinental Paris Avenue Marceau. Opening our second InterContinental hotel in Paris is testament to the strength and appeal of the brand. We're looking forward to welcoming international business and leisure travelers to the hotel."
Jean Pierre Bansard comments: "InterContinental Paris Avenue Marceau will give our guests a truly luxurious and authentic Parisian experience. It is located in the heart of the capital, near to some of the best-known landmarks in this city and our contemporary-classical décor is a true reflection of the heritage and culture Paris has to offer. I believe InterContinental Paris Avenue Marceau will add to Paris' top class hotel offering bringing considerable prestige to the city."
IHG has 164 InterContinental Hotels & Resorts in 60 countries across the world and 63 hotels in the pipeline.
