Le Meurice
Dorchester Collection grandeur overlooking the Tuileries Garden.
Overview
Le Meurice
Le Meurice is one of the great palace hotels of Paris — a Dorchester Collection property on the Rue de Rivoli, overlooking the Tuileries Garden and steps from the Louvre. First opened in 1835, it has hosted kings, artists, and heads of state, and its gilded salons — inspired by the Salon de la Paix at Versailles — remain among the most beautiful interiors in Paris. The two-Michelin-starred restaurant Le Meurice, overseen by chef Amaury Bouhours, is one of the finest dining experiences in France.
For golf groups, Le Meurice provides a combination of historic grandeur, Dorchester Collection service standards, and a position in the 1st arrondissement that places every course in the Paris circuit within easy reach. The hotel's concierge team has the expertise to manage a complex multi-course itinerary, and the dining programme — from the formal restaurant to the Bar 228 — ensures that the evenings are as memorable as the golf.
Why We Recommend It & How It Fits
Why We Recommend It
Gilded Salons and Versailles Grandeur
Le Meurice's public spaces — inspired by the Salon de la Paix at Versailles — are among the most beautiful interiors in Paris. The gilded ceilings, marble columns, and Flemish tapestries create a setting that is genuinely extraordinary, and the hotel's position overlooking the Tuileries Garden adds a further dimension of beauty.
Two Michelin Stars
Restaurant Le Meurice holds two Michelin stars under chef Amaury Bouhours — a refined, contemporary interpretation of French haute cuisine in one of the most beautiful dining rooms in Paris. For golf groups with serious dining ambitions, it provides an evening that rivals anything the week on the course can deliver.
Tuileries Garden Position
The hotel's position on the Rue de Rivoli — directly overlooking the Tuileries Garden, with the Louvre 5 minutes on foot — makes it the most culturally positioned of the Paris palace hotels. For non-golfers, the combination of the Tuileries, the Louvre, and the Musée d'Orsay (15 minutes) provides an exceptional day programme.
Bar 228
Bar 228 is one of the most celebrated cocktail bars in Paris — a sophisticated, intimate space with an exceptional spirits selection and a menu of classic and contemporary cocktails. For golf groups, it provides the perfect post-round gathering point, and the bar's atmosphere — warm, unhurried, and genuinely Parisian — suits the pace of a golf week well.
Dorchester Collection Service
As a Dorchester Collection property, Le Meurice delivers a level of service consistency and attention to detail that is among the highest in Paris. The concierge team's knowledge of the Paris golf circuit — tee times, transfers, course etiquette — is thorough and reliable.
How It Fits Into a Heritage Itinerary
The Cultural Paris Golf Base
Le Meurice is the natural choice for groups where the cultural experience of Paris is as important as the golf. The Tuileries Garden position, the Louvre 5 minutes on foot, and the hotel's own extraordinary interiors create a Paris week that extends well beyond the tee sheet.
A Couples Paris Golf Stay
For couples where both partners want the most beautiful Paris hotel experience, Le Meurice provides a combination of golf access, two Michelin stars, and the most visually extraordinary interiors in the city. The Belle Étoile rooftop suite is one of the most romantic addresses in Paris.
A Mixed-Party Paris Week
The hotel's position overlooking the Tuileries — with the Louvre, the Musée d'Orsay, and the Palais Royal all within walking distance — makes it an ideal base for groups where non-golfers want to explore the cultural heart of Paris. The hotel's concierge team can arrange cultural programmes alongside the golf itinerary.
A Special Occasion Paris Stay
For milestone occasions within a golf group, Le Meurice provides a setting that is entirely in keeping with the moment. The two-Michelin-starred restaurant, the private dining facilities, and the hotel's extraordinary interiors create a celebration that is genuinely memorable.
This is the most beautiful hotel interior in Paris — and possibly in Europe. The gilded salons, the Tuileries Garden position, and the two-Michelin-starred restaurant create a Paris week that is genuinely extraordinary. For groups where the visual and cultural experience of the hotel matters as much as the golf, Le Meurice is the natural answer.
Rooms, Dining & Wellness
Rooms & Suites
The 160 rooms and suites reflect the hotel's characteristic combination of 18th-century French style and contemporary comfort — gilded furniture, silk fabrics, and marble bathrooms throughout. The Belle Étoile suite, occupying the hotel's rooftop with a private terrace overlooking the Tuileries and the Eiffel Tower, is one of the most sought-after addresses in Paris. The Dalí Suite — named for the artist who lived at the hotel for 30 years — is a further highlight.
Dining & Atmosphere
Restaurant Le Meurice holds two Michelin stars under chef Amaury Bouhours — a refined, contemporary interpretation of French haute cuisine in one of the most beautiful dining rooms in Paris. Le Dalí, the hotel's all-day brasserie, provides a more relaxed setting with a menu that reflects the same quality of produce and kitchen. Bar 228 is one of the most celebrated cocktail bars in Paris — the natural gathering point for the group at the end of a day on the course.
Spa, Wellness & Leisure
The spa at Le Meurice provides a comprehensive programme of treatments and a fitness centre that offers a genuine recovery environment after a day on the course. The hotel's position overlooking the Tuileries Garden means that a morning walk through one of Paris's most beautiful parks is the natural complement to the spa programme — and for non-golfers, the combination of the Tuileries, the Louvre, and the Musée d'Orsay provides a full day's cultural programme.
