InterContinental Paris Le Grand

Facing the magnificent Opera House, at the very heart of present day and eternal Paris, InterContinental Paris Le Grand offers a unique opportunity to live a genuine Parisian experience. A registered French Historic Monument opened in 1862 and located a stone’s throw from some of the most famous tourist attractions, department stores, luxury boutiques circling the Place Vendôme, and also skirting the financial district, one feels the strong pulse of the capital. Entirely renovated in 2003, this hotel houses 398 beautiful guest rooms and 72 sumptuous suites - many of which offer a unique view of the spectacular Palais-Garnier. Unwind at “I-Spa by Algotherm" and enjoy a relaxing treatment or restorative massage before starting your evening with a memorable dinner at Café de la Paix. A Parisian institution in itself, the iconic restaurant offers a cuisine that rejects artifice and returns to the real essence of French gastronomy.

Café de la Paix
Classic and contemporary don't always go together, but in the case of Café de la Paix helmed by chef Christophe Raoux, this is a perfect description. The restaurant is an institution running back to 1862, but Raoux, whose career includes seven two-starred Michelin restaurants, is blazing the trail in advanced cuisine. Which is, in actual fact, simplicity: recipes that are a symphony of real, natural flavour, authenticity on a polished plate. Don't miss the desserts created by the greatest names in fashion.

The Bar
The Intercontinental hotel of Paris deserves a look in. Situated in the centre of the capital, it is a pleasure to stop by and savor a dish or simply have a drink. For the latter, the bar is chic and classic, tastefully decorated in red tones, gold and wood seem to make time stand still. We are enchanted by its warm intimacy, its international clientele, and the quality of the service.
