Hotel with opulent day spa by Arc de Triomphe Two blocks from the Arc de Triomphe, this hotel offers 203 rooms. The rooms feature separate entrance hallways, elegant period furnishings, video-game consoles, and views over the hotel garden or the avenue Hoche. Marble bathrooms have magnifying mirrors and scales. What to expect: The Royal Monceau's lobby makes a grand impression, with its marble columns, crystal chandeliers, and Italian frescoes, but the atmosphere is anything but stuffy. There are no dress codes, and both business travelers and vacationers are personally welcomed by hotel representatives upon arrival. Amenity highlights: Surrounding a mirrored, oval-shaped swimming pool and opening to a lush courtyard garden, Les Thermes fitness center and day spa resembles a sumptuous Roman bath. It offers exercise classes, fitness rooms, massages and body treatments, mineral baths, and a beauty salon. Light meals are served for breakfast and lunch in the adjacent restaurant, with views of the pool and garden. Insider tip: One of the best views of Paris is available from atop the Arc de Triomphe, 2 blocks from the hotel, at the traffic-thronged axis of the city's most famous intersection. Unlike the Eiffel Tower, there is no security cage to interfere with the panoramic view. The easiest entry is via the underground tunnel from the Champs-Elysées. The Hotel Royal Monceau's extensive amenities include a fitness center, indoor pool, beauty salon, and day spa with mineral baths and massage treatments. Large conference rooms are decorated with Venetian-inspired murals and bathed in natural light through windows facing the interior courtyard. Le Jardin - Serves Provençal-inspired cuisine for lunch and dinner in an elegant glass-enclosed pavilion in the center of the hotel's private garden. During warmer months the pavilion opens for alfresco dining on the terrace. Continental or buffet breakfasts (fee) are served here daily. Le Carpaccio - Top-quality Italian cuisine and colorful Venetian decor have earned this restaurant its highly regarded reputation. Lunch and dinner are served daily. Royal's Bar - The leather chairs and intimate atmosphere of this bar make it a favorite Parisian watering hole, serving cocktails and light meals.
