HOTEL CHATEAUBRIAND: Paris, France

Discover the refinement and unparalleled charm of a beautiful nineteenth-century Parisian mansion, 150 meters from the legendary Champs-Elysees, on the quietest street of the district. An exceptional setting for a stay that marvelously combines tourist attractions, shopping and culture, of the Golden Triangle of Paris, and absolute serenity. 

A haven of peace two steps away from the Champs-Elysees… Like a score, the Chateaubriand Hotel draws its harmony in every detail, from the imposing chandelier in the patio to the velvet and crocodile lounge chairs in the living room, through the powder-pink doors coming straight from a Venetian palace, the bulls eye window and the black chimney from the Palace of Versailles, a shell sculpture, a flight of stairs, petrified wooden coffee tables, 18th century paintings and portraits, a collection of beetles… In these places, Romain Rio reinvents the story of each object, making it timeless and wildly contemporary!

Discover in the nooks and crannies of the hotel the hidden delicate miniature paintings of 18th century inspiration. In a door frame, near a fireplace, hidden by a headboard… So many subtle winks and so many details that make the spirit of Chateaubriand.
