Le Meurice - Dorchester Collection

“Anniversary to remember”

Exquisite experience from beginning to the end of our stay. The staff go out of their way to ensure your needs are met and pleasurable. Food was delicious from breakfast, lunch, dinner, and room service. The front door staff treat you like family and are truly a gem!

I had the pleasure of enjoying afternoon tea at Le Meurice, and the experience was elegant from start to finish. The tea ceremony was beautifully executed, and the service was exceptional. The staff were attentive, welcoming, and truly took care of me throughout my visit. As a solo traveler, I especially appreciated how comfortable and valued they made me feel. For me, great service is what elevates an experience, and Le Meurice certainly delivered. The setting is stunning and perfectly reflects the luxury and elegance of Paris. However, I was a bit disappointed with the dessert portion of the afternoon tea. While the pastries created by Cédric Grolet were beautifully presented, I personally did not find them particularly special in terms of flavor. They were good, but they did not live up to the high expectations I had based on their reputation. Overall, I would recommend Le Meurice for its impeccable service, beautiful atmosphere, and refined tea experience. The hospitality was the highlight of my visit and made it a memorable afternoon.

“A little disappointed”

We stayed at the Four Seasons, Peninsula, Mandarin Oriental and the Raffles previously, and this time we chose Le Meurice. We booked a Deluxe Room for 2 nights and the room was lovely and quite spacious by Paris standards. The hotel is beautiful and full of history. The location was excellent. The Tuileries Garden was just across the street and there were many shops and cafes nearby. Breakfast was very enjoyable at the Alain Ducasse restaurant. We went again for dinner the night before our departure. The dining room was stunning both during the day and at night, and the dinner was wonderful. Service was friendly and good but we were disappointed with the housekeeping. At this price point, we expected excellent housekeeping. However, the bath gel in the shower and the tissues were not refilled and we ran out. In addition, the drinking glasses were not cleaned. The glasses were left where we had placed them with the teaspoon we used inside. These may seem like minor oversights but they should not happen at a 5 stars hotel, particularly one of this standard. Another issue we encountered was the transfer service. We arranged the hotel transfer for both arrival and departure. Since we were travelling with 2 large suitcases, we provided the dimensions to the concierge at booking. The concierge confirmed the car could accommodate our luggage. Unfortunately, the truck was too small for both suitcases. After waiting 15 minutes for the driver to find a solution, we were finally able to place one suitcase in the back seat. On the day of our departure, a larger car was arranged but it arrived late. Overall, our experience at Le Meurice fell short compared with what we had at the other hotels in Paris.

To Tea at the Dali room. It’s a special thing and heavily promoted and expensive Revolves around patisserie from Cedric Grolet - also a social media star. The patisserie I will review separately The ‘experience’ was poorly managed; lots of young waiters and maitres?mulling around but no coherence - no management Teatime poorly structured; Grolet’s creations interspersed with madeleines, guggeltopf and brioche - which didn’t fit with the Grolets?! Definitely would not do this again
