Premier Hotels & Resorts - Winter/Spring 2009 - (Page 37) Paris FRANCE Hotel François 1er A jewel of a boutique hotel, the inimitable Hotel François 1er (Premier) is a fashionable destination in and of itself. Located on a quiet street in the heart of the famous “Golden Triangle” district of Avenue des Champs-Élysées, Avenue Montaigne and Avenue George V—the center of business, high fashion, entertainment and shopping—Hotel François 1er offers an atmosphere of unbridled luxury, charming comforts and impeccable service. The hotel’s public spaces—its marble lobby, picturesque breakfast room and impressive library—evoke a sense of refinement and elegance, while its well-appointed guest rooms exhibit Parisian flair. Amidst the classic setting, modern amenities abound: computer connections, private telephone numbers with voice mail, and all offer comforts and conveniences that are similar to those at guests’ own homes. The hotel’s bar, with its elegant winter garden, restaurant and meeting rooms, is as inviting as the rooms, providing a relaxed, friendly atmosphere and lovely afternoon tea service. This chic oasis is just steps away from the Avenue Montaigne (home to famous fashion houses such as Chanel, Dior, Thierry Mugler and Ungaro) and other sought-after attractions—the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, the iconic Arc de Triomphe and the breathtaking Place de la Concorde are at guests’ fingertips. GUEST ROOMS are accented with handcrafted furniture and plush fabrics to create luxurious comfort (top right). The hotel’s breakfast room is a great place to start your day with delicious foods (top left).
