The Le Meridien Etoile, also known as the biggest hotel in Paris, recently completed its renovation program. It was first built back in 1972, and was once owned by Air France. Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide is currently managing it, and this "redevelopment" aims to breathe new life to one of the city's most iconic hotels.
According to the establishment's official statement (as posted on Hotel News Resource), the Le Meridien Etoile is actually the first-ever hotel acquired by the chain, and they are happy that the crown is finally shining bright again after a much-deserved renovation.
The hotel is a stone's throw away from the Arc de Triomphe and Champs Elysees - making this one of the most coveted establishments for tourists who wish to visit the City of Light.
Architect Jean-Philippe Nuel designed the structure covering the 2,500 square meter lot, and the hotel boasts of 1,025 hotel rooms and beautifully designed and placed meeting areas featuring a subdued grey, light blue, and charcoal color palette. All the fixtures are inspired by the beautiful city as well.
George Hobica of the Huffington Post praises the renovation, and he also lauds the fact that despite it being the biggest hotel in the city, it doesn't feel that big at all. The designers made a conscious effort to feel more "architectural" than corporate, despite it being marketed as a business hotel.
Winter rates go relatively low, with rooms going for as low as $190 a night. Upon research of Hobica, he said that he found even better rates for other dates and an enticing 50 percent off deal for the second adjoining rooms.
Despite the Le Meridien Etoile being one of the oldest hotels in Paris, its renovation positions itself yet again as one of the hottest spots for tourists to stay at.
Artist Angie McMonigal recently made artworks for the hotel, and here's her journey:
