[Fritzthecat, 08.10.2006] According to the author this hotel is situated in a "honest-to-goodness 18th century palace". Accommodations in the De Crillon are described as being "truly fit for a king" and the hotel is located centrally at the Place de la Concorde, which its terraces overlook. The guest can expect to find public rooms that are " sumptuous" and staff that has been trained "exquisitely".
The guest rooms are described as being decorated "beautifully", with the suites offer "all the splendor one could hope for."
The furnishings of the rooms exist out of "silk draperies", woodwork that has "gold leaf" ornamentation, "Aubuson rugs and polished marble".
The hotel offers 2 restaurants , the Les Ambassadeurs (which is classified as "magnificient") and the "less formal" L'Obelisque, which the writer thinks is still "noteworthy". Gayot awards the hotel their highest accolade (5 keys), which indicates that it offers "pure luxury" and is "among the very best hotels in the World".
