Omschrijving
The Plaza Athenee is located on the prestigious Avenue Montaigne, at the crossroads of fashion, entertainment and business on Paris' avenue of haute couture. Since its inauguration in 1911, this landmark hotel radiates an incomparable charm which has seduced an elegant Parisian and international clientele. Dubbed the "Palace of Tomorrow," the legendary Plaza Athenee was recently renovated in 1999 and has thus managed to preserve its classical French style while adding a distinctive and bold touch of Art Deco on the top two floors. With some 460 employees for 188 rooms and suites, the Plaza Athenee enjoys a stellar reputation worldwide for the quality of its service. World-renowned Chef Alain Ducasse oversees the hotel's restaurants, including his own award-winning Restaurant Plaza Athenee. While the rooms epitomize a sense of refined luxury, Le Bar at Plaza Athenee is the city's contemporary and trendy meeting spot. Behind the counter- sculpted with curve-shaped glass with an ice-blue lighting, resembling a luminous iceberg- the bartender creates innovative concoctions like ice-cream drinks.
