Premier Suite, Hôtel de Crillon, Paris, Hotel de Crillon, Paris

A residence scaled room, not a hotel room

The Premier Suite occupies 57 square metres on Place de la Concorde, built for three guests but designed around the logic of a private apartment. This is the entry point into Hôtel de Crillon's suite category, and it carries the same architectural discipline found throughout the building: a separate bedroom, a dedicated bathroom, a balcony, and a silence maintained by soundproofing that holds even with the windows cracked open. Choosing this suite over a standard room means choosing volume, a real separation between living and sleeping, and direct access to the Crillon's full register of marble, linen and light.

The space and flow

One bedroom sits apart from the seating area, giving the suite a clear division between rest and reception. The dining table and dining area allow breakfast, room service or a light working meeting without pulling furniture into the bedroom. A desk, positioned within the seating area, keeps correspondence and calls separate from where you sleep. Interconnected rooms are available for guests travelling with family or staff who require an adjoining configuration. Hardwood parquet and carpeted zones alternate across the suite, marking the transition between the more formal reception space and the quieter bedroom.

Design and finishes

The bathroom follows the Crillon's signature treatment: tile and marble flooring with underfloor heating, a walk in rain shower set apart from a separate bath, a bidet, and a bathroom mirror with an inset television. Toiletries are the hotel's own, accompanied by bathrobe, slippers and a dressing room for full unpacking rather than a stay lived out of a suitcase. Bedding is Rivolta Carmignani Italian linen with French Drouault pillows, offered in feather, non feather and hypoallergenic options, set on an extra long bed exceeding 80 inches. A Bluetooth sound system, flat screen television with satellite and cable channels, and a DVD and Blu-ray player complete a suite that treats technology as a quiet background rather than a feature.

The view and outdoors

A private balcony and patio extend the suite outward, with outdoor furniture and an outdoor dining area set for guests who prefer to take breakfast or an evening drink outside rather than at the interior table. Depending on orientation, the suite opens onto city view, landmark view, garden view, inner courtyard view or a quiet street view, placing Place de la Concorde, the Tuileries or the building's own courtyards directly in the frame from the sofa or the bed.

Exclusive privileges

Guests have access to the indoor heated pool with its fireplace area, free spa access and free gym access, along with concierge services available throughout the stay. In room check in allows arrival directly into the suite, bypassing the front desk entirely.

Who is this for?

You are arriving for a long weekend and want a bedroom fully separated from where you receive a late breakfast or welcome a friend for a drink before dinner at L'Écrin. You are travelling with a partner and a child, and need the dressing room, crib and child safety fittings already in place rather than requested on arrival. You are in Paris for meetings near the Champs Élysées and want a desk and seating area that function independently from the bedroom, so the suite still reads as a residence by evening.

La Suite's verdict

The Premier Suite is the most logical entry into the Crillon's suite architecture: it delivers the separation, the marble, the balcony, and the silence without the scale of the hotel's larger apartments. The underfloor heated marble floor beneath bare feet, at six in the morning, before the city has started, is the detail that explains the category. For a first stay in a suite at this address, this is the correct size, the correct layout, and the correct introduction to what Place de la Concorde feels like from the inside.
