Read it your way
Mandarin Oriental, Paris is a contemporary luxury hotel housed in an Art Deco building on Rue Saint-Honore near the Tuileries. It excels with high-end modern rooms, peaceful courtyard sleep quality, and acclaimed dining by Thierry Marx. However, the steep rates draw scrutiny from guests who feel the modern styling lacks the traditional grandeur of older Paris palaces, alongside minor complaints about temperamental lifts and overly fussy breakfast service. 2731228

Location26 mentions · 1 filmed
- “For clients who want to be walking distance to the Louvre, L'Orangerie, Opera Garnier and Tuileries, I recommend the Mandarin Oriental Paris.” 22
- “While I haven't stayed here ( no lottery win or rich relative , yet ) I have wandered through the interior and it certainly is an architectural beauty ). Good location , give this a look - https://www.mandarinoriental.com/en/paris/lutetia?src=loc.local-listings.molut.ggl” 1
- “Location is everything on a holiday, and this is one address that you will covet. It's right on the famous rue Saint-Honoré in the centre of Paris's prestigious first arrondisement, surrounded by the leading names in fashion and walking distance from the Louvre, Place Vendôme, the Tuileries Gardens and the famous Champs-Élysées.” 5
- “And the location? In the most fashionable part of town right on the Rue St Honore; next to the flagship Chloé store, and just a stones throw from Angelina and The Louvre.” 14
- “The positive for me was that the hotel was close to the Opera where the Roissy Bus from the airport stops.” 26
- “The Mandarin Oriental in Paris is located in the heart of the shopping district on Rue Saint-Honoré near Place Vendôme. I love this area because you're steps away from Dior, Burberry, Armani, Balmain, and all the luxury stores you can think of.” 28
- “Check out Hotel Left Bank St. Germain. In the heart of everything, easy walk to sites.” 1
- “I loved the hotel, their breakfasts and the location.” 1
- “Mandarin Oriental in Paris has an ideal location, as soon as you leave the hotel, you will find many good restaurants, many luxury boutiques, bars and some of the main attractions of Paris, such as the Louvre, the Tuileries Garden and the Opéra.” 7
- “Location is right in the heart of the 1st arrondissement, so you have luxury shopping at your doorstep and it's easy to walk to the Louvre and Tuileries.” 30
- “MO's location is a huge plus. Place Vendome right there.” 30
- “Located on the Rue Saint-Honoré just blocks from the Tuileries and the Louvre Museum, the Mandarin Oriental Paris is the ultimate Right Bank address for families who want easy access to all the main attractions of Paris.” 27
- “Mandarin Oriental, Paris is located in a historic Art Deco building on rue Saint-Honoré, one of my favorite shopping streets in all of Paris in the heart of the glorious first arrondissement.” 2
- “Not JK Place, but I love the Lutetia in the 6th. I like the MO but hate that whole neighborhood.” 30
- “Located on Paris's chicest shopping street, Rue St Honoré, sandwiched between high-end fashion and fine jewellery boutiques and just a stone's throw away from Place Vendôme and the Louvre, the Mandarin Oriental Group's first hotel in France could not be better situated.” 15
- “For visitors concerned with the latter and who truly want to be in the thick of it all, it doesn't get much more central than the Mandarin Oriental Paris, located on the middle of Rue Saint-Honoré, just around the corner (not an understatement) from the Place Vendôme.” 12
- “The Mandarin Oriental in Paris is a new hotel in an enviable location on Rue Saint-Honore and a couple of minutes walk away from the Louvre.” 8
- “Third, the central historic Paris access: the property is within walking distance of essentially every central Paris cultural destination (the Louvre approximately 10 minutes by walking, the Place de la Concorde and the Champs-Élysées approximately 10 minutes, the Opéra Garnier approximately 10 minutes, the Tuileries Garden directly adjacent).” 19
- “Inarguably, the location of the Mandarin Oriental Paris is exceptional.” 20
- “The location is on the Rue St. Honoré which is right around the corner from the Place Vendôme, which just happens to be my all-time favorite area in all of Paris.” 11
- “Location is one area where Mandarin Oriental Paris is very difficult to fault. The hotel sits on Rue Saint-Honoré in the 1st arrondissement, one of the smartest shopping streets in Paris and an address that puts an extraordinary amount of the city within walking distance.” 25
- “And the best part, this hotel isn't just perfectly located. It's a masterpiece of modern luxury wrapped in Parisian charm.” On camera40:28
- “Another vote for the Parc Luxembourg - great location, breakfast, staff - elegant and quiet.” 1
- “Good restaurants in the quiet neighborhood, and within walking distance to many attractions.” 1
- “This hotel makes the perfect starting point for local exploring in Paris, with an unbeatable city centre location” 31
- “First, the Rue Saint-Honoré luxury position: the property is at the heart of the substantial Parisian luxury retail district - the Rue Saint-Honoré and the adjacent Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré concentrate the substantial international luxury retail tenancy (the substantial concentration of the major fashion houses, the dedicated jeweller-and-watchmaker programming around the Place Vendôme).” 19
Service30 mentions
- “Add one of the best locations in the capital, endlessly attentive staff and that to-die-for cake shop and it will make any city break seriously chic.” 13
- “The concierge at the Mandarin Oriental is also one of the few that can actually be useful with challenging reservations.” 11
- “The clientele is quite international here so to meet that goal, the staff must cater to different nationalities, as well as age groups. They are kind and attentive with zero pretentious attitude.” 27
- “Like the design aesthetic of the Mandarin Oriental Paris, with complete predictability, I know that the service will be impeccable during my stay.” 11
- “Where the hotel shines is its incredible staff in the form of concierge who will go above and beyond to make any arrangements for you.” 28
- “Service was exactly what you'd expect from MO. Staff picked up on names and preferences quickly, and the attention to detail was excellent across the board.” 30
- “Nice, local touch: Diptyque toiletries with a scent created especially for the hotel.” 17
- “The poached eggs however were slightly too salty for my liking, and mum wasn't a fan of how much the staff fussed around.” 14
- “The service was top notch, and I felt so well taken care of.” 28
- “The feeling of the stone, lacquer, and gold leaf lobby is serene; check-in is gracious and efficient without being stuffy.” 20
- “Service throughout feels professional and polished, as you would expect from Mandarin Oriental.” 25
- “Check-in was smooth; but service at breakfast was slow and a little old-school.” 3
- “The service was top notch, and I felt so well taken care of. It was lovely to be in the heart of the shopping area of Paris to start and then retreat back to my calm oasis at the end of the day.” 28
- “Checkout was as effortless as check-in except for paying the bill.” 20
- “While there are many hotels throughout Paris, it's not often that you find one with a two-star Michelin restaurant. Sur Mesure par Tarry Marx offers not only incredible service but also an almost out-of-this-world experience.” 9
- “The in-room dining team graciously accommodated our needs for multiple smoothies, extra won tons for her soup and then some. I'd only asked for a glass of wine but staff left the bottle after hearing about our canceled flight... just in case.” 2
- “Speaking of the impeccable service... We really enjoy our pajama-clad in-room dining experience, where a very capable butler swooshes in with a large round table covered with crisp white linen, lays it expertly, places our dishes perfectly, adjusts the angle of the TV screen to suit us admirably and disappears discreetly.” 5
- “Another vote for the Parc Luxembourg - great location, breakfast, staff - elegant and quiet.” 1
- “The staff were friendly and approachable and immaculately turned out.” 8
- “The poached eggs however were slightly too salty for my liking, and mum wasn't a fan of how much the staff fussed around. She likes to just be left alone to eat, rather than having someone next to her constantly trying to do things for her that she can just do herself.” 14
- “Anything you need at all is almost presciently procured by housekeeping.” 5
- “The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I stayed in a superior room last October and was very happy.” 1
- “Unfortunately our check-in seemed to take a long time, but that was at least partially my fault, since the front desk was apparently doing its best to speed up the final checks on our room, and I hadn't told them that we needed to leave for the restaurant.” 22
- “Service is attentive and personable. I didn't experience a single issue.” 2
- “The service was pitch-perfect; it seemed as if everyone we encountered had graduated from Mandarin Oriental charm school.” 20
- “And the service was impeccable from start to finish.” 17
- “There is plenty of faux-suede seating and a relaxed ambience that makes you feel at home right away. We were greeted by a friendly receptionist and offered a glass of champagne right away, then quickly checked-in and shown to our room.” 8
- “Cleanliness was TOP-TIER - I love MO for this-housekeeping was meticulous, and everything felt spotless.” 30
- “In particular our concierge could not have been more obliging.” 15
- “I also appreciated that the hotel accommodated a late check-out.” 22
Room34 mentions
- “If you want the opulent, traditional Parisian decor that other Paris luxury hotels have, this is not your place. Mandarin Oriental, Paris is more like a twenty-first-century palace and does an excellent job of representing the modern-day fashion capital of the world.” 2
- “The large, modern rooms are filled with contemporary furniture made of dark wood, lacquers and chrome, which counterbalances the jewel tone palette of pink, orange and purple.” 23
- “If I were choosing a room here, I'd prioritize a garden view over almost anything else. Looking down onto the trees and planting gives the rooms considerably more atmosphere and reinforces what Mandarin Oriental Paris does best: creating a calm contemporary retreat in the middle of an exceptionally busy part of the city.” 25
- “Do not miss one of the designer duplex suites with private balconies or the breathtaking Royale Mandarin Suite with 360-degree views of Paris.” 21
- “The suite had all of the comforts of home and then some. Every detail was thought through from the diptyque bath amenities to gourmet tea and Nespresso coffee.” 2
- “Dark chevron parquet floors; Hermès silk pillows decorate the cozy Art Deco-style furniture by Poltrona Frau.” 3
- “The minibar is uninspiring, particularly given that La Grande Épicerie de Paris at Le Bon Marché is only a macaron's throw away.” 3
- “The thick windows and insulation do a good job of keeping external influences out of the room, which, for a city hotel, is excellent.” 8
- “The spacious layout, adorned with plush furnishings and elegant decor, exuded the perfect blend of classic Parisian charm and modern indulgence.” 24
- “The balcony from my deluxe suite looked down on the courtyard - a quiet space to enjoy a drink.” 18
- “During my visit, I stayed in the entry-level Superior Room and was pleasantly surprised how spacious it was for Paris.” 28
- “The second time around, we caved up in a Mandarin Room. It was not as spacious as our suite, but was plenty of room for the two of us and quite large for a Paris hotel room.” 2
- “It's just perfect after a long walk in Paris. We stayed in the Deluxe Suite. The room was spacious and gorgeous, very harmoniously combining colors and design.” 7
- “During my stay, I was in the Deluxe Room that offered a gorgeous view of the hotel garden.” 9
- “I visited the Deluxe room which was Art Deco in style, had a walk in shower, and contemporary art lining the walls. It was peaceful and quiet.” 17
- “We had a Premier Suite, which was a large room with its own balcony overlooking the courtyard garden. It was a nice space with a king size bed, a seating area through double doors, a good sized bathroom and everything you would need for a high quality city break.” 8
- “Our Mandarin Room is deceptively simple yet actually quite sumptuous. Think silks in deep fuchsia and shades of grey, goose-down bedding, Josephine Home 500-thread count linen, plush pillow menu, Nespresso machine for coffee, iPod docks and Bang & Olufsen TVs, even a waterproof telly in the bath, Diptyque bath products and Frette bathrobes.” 5
- “During my stay, I was in the Deluxe Room that offered a gorgeous view of the hotel garden. With its art deco decor, I felt like a true Parisian.” 9
- “Decadently oversized by Paris standards, bathtubs-carved out of a single block of marble-are reason enough to upgrade to the higher room categories.” 3
- “The Bang & Olufsen flat-screen TV system is mounted on a motorized bracket that comes out for viewing and otherwise fits snugly in the wall. There is also an iPod dock and a convenient Nespresso coffee machine in the room; the light controls operate like magic from the very comfortable bed.” 20
- “The layout is straightforward, the rooms are comfortable, the public spaces are manageable, and you can move from your bedroom to breakfast, the garden or spa without navigating endless grand corridors.” 25
- “The bedrooms continue the contemporary theme. Our room was impressively spacious for central Paris, with an enormous king bed, sofa, desk and plenty of open floor space. If you're staying for several days, that extra room makes a noticeable difference.” 25
- “Agree... re the musty smell and dated furniture. Don't compromise your standards for other people's version of luxury.” 30
- “The feeling of the stone, lacquer, and gold leaf lobby is serene; check-in is gracious and efficient without being stuffy. Our room, Number 408, was spacious, even quite large by European standards, with approximately 400- square-feet.” 20
- “The decor is distinctly Mandarin, with its minimalist, modern, and sleek furniture.” 11
- “The colour palette is in keeping with the brand and Mandarin's Hong Kong roots - sophisticated dark-cherry wood furniture and golden fabrics.” 18
- “The Deluxe Rooms - at approximately 30-35 sq m, with the contemporary Sybille de Margerie palette and the dedicated street-or-courtyard orientation - are the property's standard accommodation, and they meaningfully exceed the typical Paris palace-hotel entry-level room standard.” 19
- “Behind the lobby, where 135 Swarovski crystal butterflies catch the light, the hotel is anchored by a landscaped interior garden with a living wall rising the full height of the eight-story building. Just steps from a sidewalk crowded with tourists from early morning through late evening, the terrace feels utterly removed from the rest of the city.” 12
- “And the crowning glory? The Royale Mandarin suite, which, being all of 350 square metres, gives guests a sweeping 360° view of the rooftops of Paris and its landmarks - Montmartre, the Garnier Opera, the Grand Palais, the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower!” 5
- “The design is warm and modern rather than traditionally Parisian. Cream and taupe dominate, with heavy silk-style curtains, dark burgundy wood, and large abstract artwork above the bed. There are some attractive details, but the overall effect is restrained.” 25
- “Mandarin Oriental Paris operates 138 rooms and suites - among the largest average room sizes of any central Paris luxury hotel (the Paris palace-hotel market is notable for relatively compact rooms; Mandarin Oriental Paris's contemporary scale is among the most generous).” 19
- “In a city where the rooms are not large, every room at the Paris hotel is spacious.” 11
- “I also liked that the room had much better natural light than the rooms we've been in at the Park Hyatt Paris, which are too dark for my taste.” 22
- “At jeu de paume I went with their most basic option ...my room was not as nicely decorated as St. Louis en l'isle, but was very comfortable & I'd definitely stay there again.” 1
View1 mention
- “There are 135 rooms and suites at the Mandarin Oriental Paris, and most of them have internal courtyard views, while the rooms on the top floor have incredible panoramic views of Paris.” 28
Bathroom12 mentions
- “And please tell us the bathroom won't let us down? What can we expect? Walk-in shower, separate bathtub, beautiful and extremely bright.” 17
- “The bathroom was one of my favourite things about the room, it was just stunning.” 14
- “My room was bigger than the typical Parisian single room. The bathroom was decent. The toilet was in a separate room. I had plenty of room.” 26
- “I also adored the cute bathroom with Dyptique amenities, and the deep bath tub where I could watch the TV from my bubbles!” 24
- “The bathroom felt brighter and more distinctive. Predominantly white, with tiny mosaic tiles providing contrast, ours had a deep bathtub and a separate dressing and vanity area. I particularly liked the circular illuminated mirror and generous cabinetry, which makes the space far more practical when two people are getting ready.” 25
- “The white marble bathroom was quite stunning.” 2
- “The diptyque bath products smelled great and just as importantly, are free of any phthalates, parabens, sodium laureth sulfate, and artificial colors, which are all too common in even many "luxury" bath products.” 22
- “The room was spacious and gorgeous, very harmoniously combining colors and design. There is enough sunlight, because of the large windows, a beautiful bright bathroom.” 7
- “Some have private balconies, sofas and striking embroidered art work, while mine had a huge white spa-like bathroom with a freestanding bath, mosaic feature wall and large, refillable Frédéric Malle products.” 13
- “The bathroom was of a good size and well-appointed too. It had twin sinks, a bath and a lovely shower.” 8
- “The amenities had me jumping up and down with joy - Diptyque. It's rare that one word will suffice to describe the bathroom amenities and you know that everyone will understand exactly what this means.” 14
- “In the 'sink room', there was no rail to hold the hand towel, so you had to just drape it over the side of the sink - not great for drying a towel when it's damp.” 14
Food28 mentions · 1 filmed
- “Lingering beneath perfumed camellia trees in the lush courtyard garden is a year-round highlight of the Mandarin Oriental, a contemporary palace hotel with 138 spacious rooms, an haute couture spa and trio of restaurants by French chef Thierry Marx.” 31
- “The breakfast at the Mandarin Oriental Paris is simply one of the best I've had at a hotel in Europe.” 7
- “One of the dinners we had at the main restaurant Camélia, great service and amazing food!” 7
- “We couldn't help but sample some exquisite cakes from pastry chef Adrien Bozzolo, too, available in the restaurant or from the hotel's very own cake shop, including praline choux pastry, vanilla and caramel arlettes and - the children's favourites - glossy chocolate lollipops.” 13
- “Sur Mesure par Thierry Marx, led by the visionary chef Marx, offers avant-garde French cuisine, pushing boundaries with each impeccably crafted dish.” 28
- “Situated next to the bar is Thierry Marx's fine dining restaurant. More than just a restaurant, this Michelin starred spot is a gastronomic experience.” 15
- “The breakfast was OK - there was plenty of choice in the buffet - I loved the granola and yoghurt, and the pastries were excellent.” 14
- “A small Mandarin Oriental Cake shop at the entrance of Camélia and is a perfect stop for late afternoon treats and a quick to-go pastry in the morning.” 2
- “After traveling in Europe for three weeks, it had been a long time since we'd seen sushi, dumplings, certain fruit, and more in such a carefully-curated and beautiful international buffet.” 2
- “The food is one of the few aspects of the Mandarin Oriental that's good, but not exemplary.” 11
- “My rule of thumb is to always try multiple things from a Mandarin Oriental Cake Shop. I promise that you will not want to pass up these macarons and the Le Saint-Honoré puff pastry with vanilla cream.” 2
- “The classic rooms are very similar but with lower ceilings. In February, I would ask for a room on a lower floor. With the rains, the hotel is a few blocks from the Seine, and the elevator shaft may flood. (Christmas 2023, we had to walk up 5 flights on a circular stairway a few times.) The breakfast is hearty.” 1
- “It was very nice. There is a bar in the lobby and they have a good breakfast.” 1
- “Don't forget about the Cake Shop for incredible and tasty pastry creations!” 28
- “And when you're ready to fuel up, their breakfast spread is the stuff of legends. Fresh pastries, gourmet bites, and probably the best croissants you'll ever taste.” On camera41:17
- “Camelia is the informal, all-day restaurant that attracts many locals with its 45-minute, 45-Euro menu. Here, food looks like art, and the tastes of fresh, simple ingredients are blended into spectacular dishes that please the palate.” 20
- “Breakfast always hits the spot but I wish there were more French-type items like savory crêpes.” 11
- “The public areas were nice, with good lighting and high quality furniture. There are two restaurants, the Sur Mesure and Camelia inside the hotel which are both nice places to dine.” 8
- “Within the Zen-like garden is a giant, whimsical birdcage known as La Table du Jardin. It seats six guests for a all-out stunning dining experience.” 23
- “Guests know and appreciate that they are in an incredible luxury hotel at all times here. Although I only enjoyed breakfast at the Mandarin Oriental Paris during my stay, the two restaurants are visually appealing with a Michelin-starred chef, Thierry Marx, behind them.” 27
- “We were warmly welcome, and even offered a glass of champagne, which I declined since it was still late morning and I was focused on getting to our next destination-our lunch at La Cuisine de Philippe.” 22
- “Another vote for the Parc Luxembourg - great location, breakfast, staff - elegant and quiet.” 1
- “For an unforgettable fine dining experience, I dined at Sur Mesure Par Thierry Marx. The two-Michelin-star restaurant is a masterpiece of culinary art, where innovative dishes dance on the taste buds and every bite is a revelation.” 24
- “I don't usually focus too much on breakfast, because, with a few exceptions, a hotel breakfast is much like another - even in a five-star. But the pastries here deserve special mention. They are outstanding and rightly take centre-stage at the buffet table.” 18
- “The dining room's substantial contemporary architectural envelope produced one of the most distinctive single fine dining experiences in Paris.” 19
- “There's also Camélia, a more casual dining option named for the camellias whose scent fills the indoor landscaped garden on a summer's day. We love this light-filled space, intended as a continuation of the garden (where you can choose to eat too).” 5
- “The food was also a highlight. Camélia is a beautiful spot for breakfast - great pastries and strong coffee (big need for me!)” 30
- “The garden comes into its own again when it comes to eating and drinking. The food we tried was good, but for me the memorable part of dining here was the setting.” 25
Bed & Sleep6 mentions
- “Either way, baths are all luxurious and it's more than a comfortable place to rest your head in Paris.” 11
- “The highlight, however, was the sumptuous bed that felt like sinking into a cloud - a dreamy cocoon after a day of exploration.” 24
- “Mandarin Rooms overlook the Garden Courtyard, so while there were no city views, we enjoyed a great night's sleep.” 22
- “The bed, as Mandarin Oriental is known for, was incredible and plush - no complaints!” 28
- “The bed was large, very comfortable and had quite a firm but supportive mattress. The pillows were of high quality and the bed covers were lovely and soft.” 8
- “I slept very well while we stayed at the Mandarin Oriental Paris, which was no doubt helped by the super soft and fluffy pillows.” 14
Value5 mentions
- “The price point is pretty much the same as at the other top hotels in Paris, and there are a lot of them. So, intuitively, most people would not pay for MO as you could get a real "palace hotel" experience at a dozen of others.” 30
- “I stayed there many times years ago, but on more recent trips it was just too pricey for me.” 1
- “Mandarin Oriental Paris is for travelers who prefer their luxury modern. Its rooms are spacious and comfortable, the bathrooms are excellent, the spa adds genuine value and the Rue Saint-Honoré address is superb.” 25
- “It's expensive; but worth it to experience a true Paris palais hotel in its meticulously restored Art Deco grandeur, right in the thick of Saint-Germain action.” 3
- “I stayed in the 8th at Hotel Alison. The rates are pretty good for Paris.” 26
Noise3 mentions
- “Earlier in September, I stayed in a single room in Villa Hotel Modigliani, becuase I needed to be closer to the Montparnasse train station. The hotel is on a nice quiet street.” 26
- “While the shopping is nothing short of chic, the area itself is a bit quieter than other spots in Paris. Yet you will still be able to find many things extremely close like the River Seine, Musée d'Orsay, and even the Louvre, one of Paris' most well-known attractions.” 9
- “Earlier in September, I stayed in a single room in Villa Hotel Modigliani, becuase I needed to be closer to the Montparnasse train station. The hotel is on a nice quiet street. My room was bigger than the typical Parisian single room.” 26
