LE ROYAL MONCEAU, RAFFLES PARIS reopened in October 2010 as a next-generation Palace after a dramatic and complete two year transformation by designer Philippe Starck. The hotel has 149 luxurious rooms and suites and is just minutes from the Arc-de-Triomphe and the Champs-Elysées in Paris' 8th arrondissement. Art is a key feature of Le Royal Monceau, Raffles Paris. Food and drink are an art form here too - from the buzz of the Long Bar on the ground floor, to the two restaurants, La Cuisine for gourmet French food and Il Carpaccio for the best Italian in Paris. Not to be missed are the creations by Pierre Hermé, the Picasso of patisserie. www.raffles.com/paris
