Mandarin Oriental, Paris Makes Its Debut
An opening ceremony and ribbon cutting marked the official debut of the stunning new 138-room hotel located on famed rue Saint Honoré.

Mandarin Oriental, Paris is ideally situated in the heart of the city’s entertainment and high-end retail districts, offering easy access to all major tourist sites and the city’s business centre. The original, magnificent Art Deco façade of this luxury hotel has been beautifully complemented by chic, contemporary interiors, making this the most luxurious, glamorous, and truly Parisian experience in the city.

The hotel’s 138 luxurious rooms are some of the largest in Paris, providing elegance, comfort, space and light. The design combines Parisian sophistication, with art deco details and oriental touches. The hotel has worked with the foremost international names in architecture and design.

The architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte supervised the renovation of the building, facade and patio. Sybille de Margerie imagined the interior design and decoration of the rooms, spa and public spaces, while Patrick Jouin and Sanjit Manku lent their talent to the bar and restaurants. The hotel's indoor garden of oriental inspiration was created by Wilmotte & Associés, in association with the landscape artists François Neveux and Bernard Rouyer.

Mandarin Oriental, Paris offers a choice of two restaurants and bar along with a delightful cake shop all brilliantly led by Executive Chef and Culinary Director Thierry Marx: Sur Mesure, a haute-couture restaurant for 40, Camélia, serving light French cuisine, and the vibrant Bar 8, which is set to be the place to ‘see and be seen’.

The hotel has a holistic Spa at Mandarin Oriental complete with a 14m swimming pool, a comprehensive fitness centre and a range of stylish event space.
