The Suites
Guests will be housed in the prestige Royal Monceau Suite.
This immense suite is the ultimate in luxury, with two wonderfully spacious bedrooms featuring sleek custom-made furniture.
It has a vast living room, a dedicated workspace and dining room, a walk-in closet and a wealth of artworks on display.
It has a light-filled bathroom, straight out of an interiors magazine, with both a bathtub and a steam shower.
However, as Paris is always a good idea for a romantic weekend, here are some of the other suites at Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris.
Penthouse Suite
Accessed by private lift, this top-floor luxury suite offers sweeping views over the rooftoops of Paris, and is bathed in natural daylight.
It has two bedrooms, a workspace, living room and well-equipped kitchen, and combines all the advantages of a private residence with the benefits of exclusive luxury services.
Prestige Suite
This sleek forties and fifties inspired interior has all the space and comfort you need to feel at home including a kitchen area, workspace and home cinema.
LifeStyle Suite
Each of the vast Lifestyle Suites has its own character, although they all share the same Art Deco-inspired styling, with carefully selected art giving these suites exceptional style.
An acoustic guitar is on hand to encourage musical creativity, and the Ray Charles Suite, where the legendary singer-songwriter once stayed, is now home to a magnificent piano.
Signature Suite
Decorated in refined artistic style redolent of the forties and fifties, each Signature Suite also has its own separate living room, and like all their suites, the Signature provides an acoustic guitar for guests.
Gallery Suite
This spacious suite perfectly captures the mood of an artist’s gallery with paintings, photos and custom-made furnitures.
No two Gallery Suites are alike, although each enjoys a beautiful lounge area furnished with a table, and a workspace, acoustic guitar, stylish bathroom and state-of-the-art technology seamlessly integrated into the interior design.
Junior Suite
Imbued with forties and fifties glamour, the Junior Suite offers a lounge area and workspace along with a generous bathroom and walk-in closet.
Hotel Rooms
The hotel also offers Studio Rooms, Deluxe Rooms and Executive Rooms.
Quentin Lechat’s creations for a perfect romantic weekend in Paris
Just as they are every Valentine’s Day, couples are the central theme for Quentin Lechat’s creations, and this year he is paying homage to originality and duality.
Our Pastry Chef has given free rein to his imagination with not one, but two exclusive individual pastries with flavours known for their aphrodisiac qualities. One is shaped like the symbol for male, blending chocolate, ginger and mustard seed, and the other is the female symbol with touches of vanilla and saffron.
Man & Woman? Man & Man? Woman & Woman? Woman? Man? Choose the symbols you prefer, mixing and matching at will. These creations are available on Click & Collect and as part of our Gourmet Break at Le Bar Long.
Platines without Valentin(e)s!
If you haven’t yet found your other half (and even if you have), Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris has a night for you. Join us on 14th February from 7pm in Le Bar Long for our “Platines without Valentin(e)s!”.

Gourmet Dinner at Il Carpaccio
Il Carpaccio is a Michelin-starred restaurant serving Italian cuisine in a convivial atmosphere, and their Chefs duo Alessandra Del Favero and Oliver Piras have created a special Valentine’s Day menu for an unforgettable moment of romance.
Elevated gastronomy will be on the menu, paired with a welcoming atmosphere. “Our mission: complexity presented in simplicity”.
The duo will be present not only in the kitchen but also in the dining room, interacting and delighting guests with a tableside preparation of their signature dishes.
Clarins & myBlend Spa
Make the most of a moment of well-being with a variety of unique Valentine’s Day packages in the Clarins & myBlend Spa on 14th February.
This unique haven of peace and relaxation in the heart of Paris is a paradise of pure white. The 1,500 square meter space is both calming and elegant, and includes a 23 meter pool, one of the longest ever built in a Paris luxury hotel.
