Gault&Millau's review 2025

Right next to the Arc de Triomphe, this address, named in homage to the Italian painter, remains a favorite meeting place for many Parisians, who see it as a symbol of French art de vivre, chic and unostentatious. The credit goes to the Baverez family, who have owned the hotel for four generations, jealously guarding its intimate, refined charm. The 83 rooms and suites have retained their antique furnishings and hand-carved woodwork, as have the painted earthenware in the bathrooms. On the first floor, the dining room also boasts Louis XVI furnishings, all within a stone's throw of the legendary English bar - dimmed lights, wood panelling and red velvet banquettes - where you can enjoy a "Serge 78", a cocktail imagined by Serge Gainsbourg, a great regular here. The latest treasure is the 7th-floor terrace, overgrown with flowers and featuring a restaurant and champagne bar.
