The InterContinental Paris Le Grand takes up an entire city block in the stylish 9th arrondissement. I could see people dancing on the opera house steps from my hotel room, and it was magical. It’s an experience that’ll cost you a minimum of several hundreds of dollars a night but if you choose a room with an opera house view you might find the experience priceless. From check-in to the breakfast table, this historic hotel offers a white-glove, upscale experience in the heart of Paris. There is nothing casual about the InterContinental Paris Le Grand.
Tsars, kings, queens, and icons including Josephine Baker and Marlene Dietrich have all stayed here since this property first opened in 1862.
Oscar Wilde and Victor Hugo hung out in the hotel’s lobby cafe. Charles de Gaulle dined here the evening Paris was liberated during World War II.
