Located a few steps from Paris’ celebrated Arc de Triomphe, within the city’s golden triangle, the once traditional Hotel Vernet Champs Elysées has been transformed by Paris-based architect François Champsaur into a sleek new 50-room boutique hotel. Housed in a post-Haussmann building that dates from 1917, the exterior is the embodiment of Parisian charm, which complements the fresh modernity that lies within. Among the facilities is an avant-garde restaurant that is housed under an ornate glass dome, designed by legendary civil engineer Gustave Eiffel, while the hotel’s in-house concierge service can provide guidance on the ideal Parisian experience.
