Prince de Galles, a Luxury Collection Hotel is next door to Four Seasons George V and their histories have been closely intertwined (two brothers ran the neighboring hotels when they first opened in the 1920s.) Today, however, they could not be more different. While Four Seasons George V offers traditional Parisian elegance, Prince de Galles is an unabashed homage to the fashionable Art Deco era in which it was born.
While the hotel’s interior has undergone significant redesigns, notably in 2013, its exteriors remain firmly in that vaunted age. Its traditional facade and beautiful courtyard appear lifted from a Wes Anderson film set. Inside, it is as buzzy as any hot new spot in town. The champagne Sunday brunch ($140 per person) has become a right of passage for Parisian socialites.
For a taste of ultimate glamor, head to Suite Lalique, unveiled in 2019 to mark the hotel’s 90th anniversary. The hotel partnered with the famous glassmaker and renowned designer Patrick Hellman to transform its biggest suite into a celebration of contemporary Art Deco style.
Throughout the one-bedroom suite, you'll find elegant Lalique pieces, from the Masque de Femme lamps in the bedroom to the bathroom faucets, which have been designed to imitate the House’s legendary Mossi vase from 1933.
As well as other precious pieces from Lalique’s collection (including a stunning Seville chandelier designed by Marc Lalique in 1947), this bi-level suite offers wonderful views of the Parisian skyline, unbroken from the Eiffel Tower up to Sacre-Coeur. Those views are best enjoyed from the dining room or, if the weather permits, the 1,076-sq-ft private terrace.
Enjoy sweeping views of the Eiffel Tower with a coffee in one hand and a newspaper in the other from the private terrace's alfresco dining area, or order a bottle of champagne to be enjoyed on the suite's sun loungers.
