Le Meurice, Dorchester Collection

The 19th-century Palace facing the Tuileries Garden. The garden-facing rooms offer a direct view over the Tuileries, a rare privilege for a Parisian palace hotel. The hotel sits on Rue de Rivoli, between the Louvre and Place Vendôme. The pastry counter by Cédric Grolet, at the hotel entrance, draws a following well beyond its guests.
