Considered as the “Hotel of Kings” for more than a hundred years, Hotel Le Meurice has played host to the likes of Queen Victoria and the Prince of Wales, the King and Queen of Spain, and for an extended period to eccentric Salvador Dali, his anteater and his pack of pet cheetahs. The ultimate in opulent, luxurious living, Le Meurice is a magical, serene place, where the refined splendours of 18th-century architecture meet the latest in contemporary comfort and elegance. Given a recent stylish overhaul by legendary French designer, Phillipe Starck, this is one of the most beautiful, romantic and intimate bars to enjoy a glass of wine or a classic cocktail in Paris.
