Hotel Hospes Lancaster is one of the most prestigious hotels, having gained an international reputation. It's a haven of peace, right in the heart of the Golden Triangle, impenetrable to the frenzy of the Champs Elysées, situated a very short walk away.
It is full of unique treasures, from the bedrooms to the stylishly furnished lounge, Indian and Damask paintings, porcelains, Baccarat crystal chandeliers, as well as an amazing collection of portraits by Boris Pastoukoff, portrait painter of the last Tsar.
These examples of French "art de vivre" quickly turned this hotel into a fashionable haunt for the rich and famous, particularly Marlena Dietrich who used it as her Parisian "pied à terre".
Besides these rare items giving the hotel a museum like appearance, it is, at its core, a private house whose staff know the importance of the smaller details. This is exactly as its founder, Emile Wolf, would have wished. He himself said, during The Roaring 1920s "I have never had customers, only friends".
It remains to this day a very intimate location and offers itself as a welcoming and family-friendly haven for those who choose to stay in one of its spacious, elegant 46 bedrooms and 11 suites.
Lunch at the quiet, delicious and starry "Table du Lancaster" gives you a chance to experience the cuisine of Michel Troigros while listening to the soothing lapping of the fountain, which stands proudly in the middle of the Japanese garden.
If you are looking for a change of scenery and peace and quiet, look no further than this elegant location in the heart of the turbulent capital.
