Frommer's
"During Paris Fashion Week, the bar becomes the event's nonofficial HQ"
Concierge
"The world's young, rich, and titled check in here to check out one another, disporting themselves in one of the city's hottest bars and two of its highly rated restaurants—the gorgeous Art Deco Relais Plaza (Yves Saint-Laurent is a regular) and Alain Ducasse, where an extravagant breakfast is also served (the pastry basket is so copious it requires its own printed guide)"
Insight Guides
"If you can’t stretch to the price of a room, treat yourself to a cocktail in the fashionable bar"
Oyster
"Travelers might want to also check out The Hotel Fouquet's Barriere, on Avenue Georges V, which has free Wi-Fi and an indoor pool"
DK Eyewitness
"The restaurant by Alain Ducasse is wonderfully romantic, while Le Bar du Plaza is now the hottest address in Paris for cocktails"
Time Out
"Outside of the rooms, make time for a drink in the Bar du Plaza, a cocktail bunny’s most outré fantasy, with flattering lighting, high chairs for maximum leg-crossing opportunities and ridiculous drinks"
BlackBook
"Other perks: Alain Ducasse runs his signature three-star restaurant from the Athenée, and the hotel bar is a real swank Fashion Week pleaser"
Travel + Leisure
"The bar, with a long glowing glass counter meant to resemble an iceberg, is one of the city's hottest scenes"
Forbes Travel Guide
"Paris’ top cafés, such as L’Avenue, and discotheques, like Le Baron, are within walking distance from the hotel as well"
Gayot
"As for dining, the hotel maintains its superlative reputation with Alain Ducasse au Plaza Athénée, Le Relais Plaza, La Cour Jardin, La Galerie and Le Bar du Plaza Athénée"
