Royal Monceau was a relaxing getaway in the very heart of Paris. The Arc de Triomphe is steps away, and the concierge (Richard) was really helpful with recommendations for things to do. The pool in the basement is amazing, a must-visit! The room was really unique, the bed was centered in the middle at an angle, and the design/artwork is really contemporary. The Clarins products are a great perk! The cocktails at the bar will give you some sticker shock (€30 per drink) but were really unique/original, so we had to try them. Service is super attentive and personalized; we felt like staff definitely knew who we were and paid attention to us. Highly recommended!
