Le Meurice sits on Rue de Rivoli overlooking the Tuileries Gardens, between Place de la Concorde and the Louvre, within walking distance of Place Vendome, the Opera Garnier and the Musee d'Orsay. Eighteenth century opulence combines with contemporary chic throughout the hotel, decorated in an extravagant Louis XVI style, with interiors in the public spaces and restaurants designed by Philippe Starck. Gilded mouldings and period chandeliers remain throughout the ground floor salons, set directly against Starck's more contemporary furniture choices and lighting.
