The Restaurant at Hotel de Crillon, A Rosewood Hotel

"This colonnaded 200-year-old ‘jewel in the heart of Paris’ with its sparkling public areas (including the posh Les Ambassadeurs restaurant) sumptuously decorated with chandeliers, original sculptures, gilt mouldings, tapestries and inlaid furniture, is the epitome of French luxury"

"The informal restaurant L’Obé has become a gathering place for fashionable Parisians; tea is served in the Winter Garden Tea Room"

"For a heartier meal, secure a reservation at La Société, an art-sprinkled, ultra-chic restaurant designed by Christian Liaigre and tucked away in a 19th-century building at 4 Place Saint-Germain"

"Its original splendour has been retained throughout its sumptuous rooms and suites, three restaurants and opulent bar"

"Guests have a choice of the chic Brasserie d'Aumont for lunch or dinner, featuring French classics (including dishes from the original 1910 hotel menu), or the exquisite 22-seat L'Ecran gastronomic dining room, helmed by Christopher Hache, who earned two stars at the hotel's former Les Ambassadeurs restaurant before the renovation, and seems poised to earn them back again"
