Hotel Fouquet's Barriere Paris, France

Hotel Fouquet's Barriere
Paris, France



Style: Classic Luxury. Remodeled: 2006. Rooms: 107. Suites: 40.

The hottest new luxury hotel in Paris, Hotel Fouquet's Barriere stands prominently on the corner of two fabled boulevards: the Champs-Elyses and Avenue George V. Surrounded by chic designer boutiques and fine dining restaurants, the hotel is perfectly situated at the nexus of the Triangle d'Or. Opened on November 3, 2006, the hotel joins an impressive roster of opulent Palace Hotels in Paris. Hotel Fouquet's Barriere boasts an enormous Spa with stunning swimming pool, which is hard to come by in Paris.

In the building's extraordinary design, celebrity architect Francois created a contemporary masterpiece by fusing the old and new. Attached to the legendary Brasserie Fouquet's, the hotel is comprised of five Haussman-style buildings located around a central interior garden. The project - years in the making- is destined to become a destination in its own right. All the buildings were not originally connected; the architect created a faux Haussmann-style facade which has been molded onto the exterior of the newer adjoining buildings.

The hotel's interiors are just as remarkable. World-renowned interior designer Jacques Garcia has created 107 lavish guest rooms in a combination of art-deco and empire style. Utilizing rich velvets, leather, gold leaf, shark skin, precious marble, and plush fabrics, Garcia has created posh, imperial spaces that are also extremely comfortable. Bathrooms are like mini-spas, decked out in marble, with large bath and separate walk-in rainshower room. In the Presidential Suite, the large jetted tub actually overlooks the grand stretch of Champs-Elyses (though these rooms are ultra sound-proofed for peace and quiet.) The Presidential Suite, like all guest rooms, is equipped with the most cutting edge technology: the flat screen TV is embedded in the mirror, totally invisible until turned on.
