"Like the Ritz, Hôtel de Crillon, A Rosewood Hotel is a case study in how to stay relevant in the 21st century. But while the Ritz carried on in the same splendid fashion as always, the Crillon blasted off in search of something new. The result is a fascinating postmodern triumph. In the end, the refurb took four years and the hotel reopened in 2017 under the Rosewood brand. The best of what was the best of the Crillon has been thoughtfully preserved, while the best of what is new (the bar, the barbershop, L’Ecrin restaurant, and the stupendous suites by the late Karl Lagerfeld) is gobsmacking in its boldness and daring. After a day out on the town, relax in the Les Ambassadeurs lounge, which draws see-and-be-seen Parisians with live music and a selection of over 100 Champagnes, or in the spa, with its indoor heated pool and treatments inspired by the beauty secrets of French grandmothers and great-grandmothers. The Crillon has long been a sentimental favorite among the French. It's a splurge, but fans of French history and style or hotel junkies with a running list of global icons to check in to won't be disappointed. —Steve King" - Sandra Ramani, Lindsey Tramuta

"Champs Élysées With its grand stone pillars and imposing façade, at first glance, this sumptuous Rosewood hotel might not seem like somewhere that would welcome children—but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Little Rosebuds (as they’re affectionately known) are thoroughly spoiled here, with a plethora of personal touches. Rooms are turned into miniature kids’ wonderlands, complete with animal-shaped balloons and toys. Every tiny guest is given their own Bernie the elephant stuffed toy (the hotel’s mascot), and you’ll find matching Brai pajamas for the whole family to wear. Older kids are well catered for too, with in-room video games and an interactive Paris-themed book that comes with a Polaroid camera, and there’s a great kids’ menu guaranteed to satisfy even the pickiest of eaters. All the amenities you may need are on hand, from bespoke bath products and diapers to highchairs and bottle warmers. Its central location on Place de la Concorde means that the delights of the Jardin des Tuileries, with its seasonal fun fair, are only a short hop and a skip away." - Luciana Bellini
