"In Paris’s 2nd arrondissement, this Haussmann-era property was redesigned in 2002 by Ed Tuttle to function as an art showcase and features a curated collection assembled by late gallerist Darthea Speyer. The interiors—characterized by limestone and rich mahogany—are complemented by thousands of Roseline Granet bronze sculptures, two abstract-expressionist paintings by Sideo Fromboluti, dualistic pop-art works by Ed Paschke, and Sam Gilliam’s metallic collages. Many acquisitions are by living artists, giving contemporary freshness to the historic setting." - AFAR
"One of the first Paris hotels to earn the Palace status in 2011, this property is acknowledged for its high standards of luxury, design, and service consistent with the Palace designation." - Mary Winston Nicklin
"In the City of Lights, the hotel transforms its courtyard into a snowy alpine escape with a pop-up chalet, offering decadent raclette nights under twinkling fairy lights." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Leave the tourists to gawk at the ostentatious facade of the Hôtel Ritz on the Place Vendôme. The smart money is on – and presumably in – Park Hyatt Paris – Vendôme. Luxurious rooms are a given in a Park Hyatt; here the value added comes from the inspired design, mixing neutral tones with rich textures, moody lighting and hybrid antique-modern furnishings – classic silhouettes rendered in crisp contemporary forms and colours." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Of all Paris's luxury hotels, this one might be the most understated: Even the entrance is unassuming, compared to the rest of the city's grand lobbies. Fortunately, it's also a place where things only improve the further in you go. A 2017 update by the late American designer Ed Tuttle means dark wood paneling and gilded accent moldings bridge the old and the new, and the bathroom is stocked with top-shelf beauty products (Hermès and Guerlain, of course) along with the hotel's bespoke scent, by respected nose Christophe Laudamiel. Trust us: It's the kind of stuff you'll want to sneak into your suitcase and spend years trying to find at home. Don't forget to factor in a dinner at the Michelin-starred PUR, by Chef Jean-François Rouquette—you can book a table when you book the room." - Sandra Ramani, Lindsey Tramuta
