The Hotel du Louvre stylish and boutique hotel stands at the heart of Paris culture and arts. Each one of the Hotel du Louvre's four facades looks out at a famous Parisian landmark - the Louvre Museum, the Opera Garnier, the Comédie Française and the Place du Palais Royal. This area is rich in history and the hotel's Second Empire architecture is mirrored by the surrounding buildings in this special quarter of Paris.

This stylish hotel maintains a high standard of service and offers a wide range of facilities for those travelling on business or leisure, in groups or individually.

He is known as the father of Impressionism, yet Camille Pissarro has always been eclipsed by his more charming brood. Last year’s Cézanne and Pissarro exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, for instance, was billed as a dialogue in the mold of Matisse-Picasso, but it quickly became a one-sided conversation. Pissarro on his own is not blockbuster material; his paintings have a muddy, homely aspect next to Cézannes or Monets or Renoirs. Yet for Pissarro, an anarchist and a Jew (albeit a secular one) in 19th-century France, Impressionism was about much more than the fleeting effects of light. It was about labor, the elimination of hierarchies and an idealized balance between urban and rural life.

Led by Barry Sternlicht, Chairman and CEO of Starwood Capital - owner of Concorde Hotels - you will see three new brands emerging. One is Crillon, based on that superb luxury hotel in Paris, Hotel de Crillon, overlooking the famous Place de la Concorde in the center of the city. This hotel gets 80% repeat guests, which is a key reason why it is impossible for us to close the hotel completely for a planned renovation that will include a superb health club and spa.
